INTRODUCTION

Family laws have a wide range of regulations that apply to family affairs, such as marriage, divorce, heritage, etc. Any constitutionally enforceable rights and obligations emerge as the status of intimate relationships is validated. The basis for legislation affecting the most intimate facets of our lives is to safeguard fundamental rights and to respect those standards important for integrity.

The family law was very closely related to property and inheritance law and, according to available documents, may have arisen largely from problems of economic and property resulting from the transition of a woman from her father's family to her husband's control and guardianship. Legal terms of paternity, custody and legitimacy, including the bond between parent and child, have been linked to family power dynamics and family economic interests. Family law also has historically to do with matters of personal status. Family law (also referred to as marriage law or marital law) is a field of family law and domestic relationships.
