LA FAMILIA NUCLEAR ANTE EL DERECHO. UNA RETROSPECTIVA DE SU FORMACIÓN Y DEFINICIÓN EN LA TRADICIÓN JURÍDICA OCCIDENTAL

Abstract

The nuclear structure of the family is collected by law through mechanisms that define it from the patrimonial point of view. These are what we call valve norms because they allow to recognize this group inside of the set of the relatives. In this work, these norms are identified and traced from its origin in Late Antiquity until today.
