Sažetak
For the study of property relations of spouses, property rights and legal status of married women, but also other institutes, the most famous of which is the girl’s dowry in the period between the 19th and 20th centuries, marriage contracts are invaluable source. Although legal-historical science has valuable research on marital and inheritance law even when it comes to the area of Slavonia, the practical analysis of legal documents, ie marriage contracts, was missing in these studies. This research will try to reconstruct the content of marriage contracts preserved within the collection of notarial documents in the State Archives in Osijek. The purpose of the analysis of the content of documents is to investigate whether the contracting of property rights between spouses was a common practice in the social life of the citizens of Osijek and its surroundings, as well as the form and content of individual contracts. It will be sought to determine whether the regulated institutes in the observed period tended to provide insurance to spouses during the marriage or provided insurance to spouses after the death of one partner. In addition to the historical and legal approach to the content of archival material, this research will try to determine the relevant provisions of applicable law that regulated the mentioned institutes, but it should be noted that certain institutes are regulated by customary law in the midst of imprecise legal regulation.
