Summary/Abstract: The state-legal continuity of medieval Bosnia is witnessed by numerous cultural specifics and values of the medieval Bosnian territory but also testified by many legal institutions that, like precious metals, managed to survive in the most extreme conditions and almost unbearable foreign policy trends that ultimately led to the loss of independence of the medieval Bosnian state until the first half of the 20thcentury. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to find the most credible insights into legal institutes of marriage and inheritance that survived even after medieval Bosnia lost its sovereignty and foreign political independence. The well-known historical axiom that teaches us that a culture and values of a society are above the state as a social-political entity, has come to the forefront during that time and confirmed this unwritten rule. Those cultural-legal developments of the Bosnian medieval era were the focus of our inquiry and scientific observations in this work that is before you.
