The speculation underlying all contributions was once the fashion in the direction of contractualisation of relations legislation. A convergent examine consequence because of the comparability of nationwide studies was once the ambivalent place of relatives legislation in criminal structures all over the world. That comparability indicates that, while kin legislations is obviously relocating in the direction of agreement with reference to previous kinfolk formations, the opposite is right for brand new kinfolk formations.
