| Description | The aim of the present paper is to map the changes that took place in family law in Slovakia at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The main change was the rise of civil marriage, which became an option for couples wishing to marriage alongside a church marriage. Couples were also permitted to divorce and remarry. The paper also aims to evaluate the effect of the changes in family law, with an emphasis on family breakup. |
