Summary/Abstract: As the Roman family was at the centre of the Roman Civilization, the status of women relating to the institution of Marriage needed to be well established in order to bring order to the vast scope of social realities from within the Empire. Comprised of a complex social and juridical set of norms, the status of women within the institution of Marriage instilled life into diverse social realities, from aspects like inheritance law to the role of the female figure in the mystic representation of the Roman family. The present paper aims at establishing general guidelines regarding the juridical status of women, referring to each of the key roles fulfilled by women within the Roman family and their relation to the institution of Marriage.
