Legal position of women in the medieval city of Pag

In this paper, the author analyses some questions about the legal postition of women in the medieval city of Pag. The appropriate solutions of other Dalmatian statutes are referred to, in particular to those from the statutes of Zadar and Šibenik whose common origins from the old unsaved Statute of Zadar provide the possibility of legal-historical analysis. In the introduction, the sources of Pag medieval law are stated. Then, questions on the legal position of women in terms of status, family (with marriage), property, criminal and procedural law are analysed. In the Statute of Pag, the influence of the neighbouring Statute of Zadar in 1305 (as well as of the unsaved Statute of Zadar) and of the Croatian, that is, Croatian-Hungarian law from the nearby hinterland are clearly evident.
