Vanbračna porodica

The book Vanbračna porodica (The Non-Marital Family) by Prof. Dr. Milan Bosanac (published in 1976 by "Informator") is a comprehensive and thorough scholarly work in the fields of family law and the sociology of the family. At the time of its publication, this study represented a significant scientific contribution to the understanding and legal regulation of non-marital unions and the status of children born out of wedlock in the former Yugoslavia. In the book, the author provides a detailed analysis of the historical development of the non-marital family, societal attitudes, and legal evolution—tracing the shift from the past discrimination and subordinate status of children born out of wedlock to the gradual equalization of rights and obligations between non-marital unions and marriages. Bosanac analyzes the normative provisions of family legislation, property relations between partners in non-marital unions, maintenance issues, and the establishment and contesting of paternity and maternity. Written in a scholarly yet exceptionally clear and systematic style, Dr. Milan Bosanac’s Vanbračna porodica remains an invaluable document and reference work for lawyers, sociologists, and legal historians studying the evolution of family law and the transformation of family relations during the second half of the 20th century.
