Sažetak
Marriage right posed a legal, religious, cultural, political and national problem in Yugoslavia between the two World Wars. The Yugoslav State officially recognised only three nations (Slovenians, Serbs and Croats), albeit many others lived there and a number of religions were recognised. Yugoslavia had a system of marriage law in which the religious type of marriage ceremony prevailed. Problems arising from such a legal order gave rise to many debates among lawyers, and also to religious antagonism, especially between the two major churches – the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), as well as the Islamic Religious Community. Frequently, this was interpreted as a harbinger of “interreligious war.” Therefore, a reform of marriage law aimed at its standardisation was considered the most important and essential task of the Yugoslav legislator. Debates particularly focused on the type of marriage, namely doubts about the introduction of civil marriage, either as obligatory or optional. Debates on this issue were held throughout the entire inter-war period, albeit with varying intensity.
