„Întreaga familie să redobândească fericirea care i-a unit la început”. Dezbaterile parlamentare privind regimul căsătoriei în Codul civil (1906) şi consecinţele sociale din perioada interbelică
The Romanian Civil Law passed during the second half of the XIXth century has remained unchanged until 1906, when the Conservatory executive decided it was time to update the regulations regarding marriage, divorce and legitimacy. The main purpose of the initiative was that of relieving the population living in rural areas of the burden of providing numerous documents in order to get married, reducing thus the number of illegitimate children. However, it was the changes brought to the divorce regulations that have generated a fierce opposition from the members of the Liberal Party, causing the artisans of the law to discard a part of their proposals. Therefore, the final version of the project has been more moderate than the one envisioned initially, leading to important social consequences during the first half of the XXth century. There is no doubt that one of the most significant consequence was the interdiction of a second marriage for divorced couples that reconciled, and the illegitimate children that they produced. For them, the judicial system in effect until the Second World War had no understanding and no solutions.
