Silvio Braica ; Etnografski muzej Split

Abstract

The text deals with south Croatian, i.e. Dalmatian medieval statutes and the position of women according to them. Apart from the Split statute the paper brings facts from the statute of Trogir, Hvar, Poljica, Lastovo, Korčula and Vinodolski. The most important issue, when speaking of a woman, according to all afrementioned statutes, is the woman's dowry. Apart from her dowry, the moral aspect is also considered, i.e. protection against rape. In general, it may be said that the greatest attention was paid to her property rights.
