Functional approach to understanding the essence of family
Keywords:
family policy, essence of family, functional approach, family-centric legislation
Abstract
Russian legislation has not developed a unified legal definition of family yet. However, civil science attempts to comprehend the institution of family from different perspectives. The authors of the article defend traditional family values but strive to consider the institution of family using a functional approach. They believe it is possible to fix the functions of the family as a socio-legal institution at the doctrinal level. Based on the functional approach, the conceptual apparatus of family and other branches of law, as well as family-centric legislation, can be formed in the future. This approach to defining family allows for the necessary differentiation of families with due regard to their life cycle. The topic is studied using general (systemic, theoretical analysis) and special (comparative law, logical, technical, and legal analysis, specification, and interpretation) scientific methods. The main task is to study the institution of family at present and identify theoretical and practical issues of the family concept. The authors also consider the doctrine, positive law of Russia, and judicial practice in family cases, which stipulates the need for a functional approach to understanding the essence of family.
