607:. According to the law, the heirs of the first stage were the children of the testators and their offspring, born in a legal marriage and not deprived of the right to inherit. The heirs of the second stage are the brothers and sisters of the testator. In the presence of brothers, the daughters of the testators did not inherit the immovable estates of their father. They received one-fourth of the value of the rest of the property, regardless of the number of brothers and sisters. The mother's estate was inherited by them in equal shares with the brothers. After the death of her husband, the wife received no more than one-third of the estate for life, and the husband's children or brothers were the heirs. The dowry of the wife in the event of her death and in the absence of children was returned to her relatives. By will, movable property and estates purchased by the testator himself could be transferred to outsiders. Fathers were to be transferred to heirs according to the law. Dependent people could bequeath to strangers only one third of their movable property. They were obliged to leave two thirds to the children. In the absence of children, these two-thirds were at the disposal of the master. According to the Statute of 1588, the wife could inherit her husband's property, the parents of the testator were included in the number of heirs of the third stage, and other relatives were included in the fourth stage. 613:. Along with written law, the norms of customary law were widely used, which for a long time were preserved by the common population. Only a marriage concluded in compliance with church rites was officially recognized. Those who entered into marriage had to reach the age of majority, not be in another marriage and in close relationship. The husband was the head of the family and representative of its interests. If the husband lived in his wife's house (came to "primas"), the wife managed the household, while the husband's rights were limited. Children were to obey the will of their parents. The amount of the dowry was determined by customary law and by agreement of the parties. In the event of the death of the bride's parents, her brothers provided her with a dowry. In accordance with the teachings of the church (both Catholic and Orthodox), divorce was not allowed. However, according to legal custom, a marriage could be dissolved at the request of one or both spouses by a spiritual or secular court. In the event of the insolvency of the debtor – an ordinary person – the court could decide on the transfer to the creditor as a pledge of his children or wife. 633:) and golovshchina), was punishable by death; “golovshchina” and other expenses associated with causing material damage were collected from the criminal's property. In case of negligent murder, the perpetrator was released from punishment, but was obliged to pay golovschin to the relatives of the murdered. The court had to take into account the age of the offender. Minors did not bear criminal punishment (according to the Statute of 1566 – under 14 years old, from 1588 – under 16 years old). In the 16th century, simple and complex complicity in a crime was already distinguished. In the first case, when all accomplices were co-perpetrators of the crime, they were all subjected to the same punishment. With complex complicity, criminals were divided into perpetrators, accomplices, instigators and could be punished in different ways. Punishment was also determined by the class affiliation of the offender and the victim. A criminal act committed by a gentry was punished more easily than the same crime of an ordinary person. So, if a gentry inflicted wounds on another gentry, he was punished according to the 1411:("The beginnings of Russian law are documented by the Russo-Byzantine treaties of the 10th century and the oldest Russian law, the Russkaia Pravda. The tempestuous developments of the following centuries (the incessant wars among the princes, the Mongol invasion, the rise of the Novgorod republic) all left their marks on the legal system until the princes of Muscovy succeeded in reuniting the country. This resulted in the creation of major legislative monuments, such as the Codes of Ivan the Great of 1497 and of Ivan the Terrible of 1550. After the Time of Troubles the Council Code of the second Romanov Tsar, Aleksei, of 1649 became the starting point for the comprehensive Russian codification of the 19th century"). 566:– the Statute of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (First Statute). The statute contained over 230 articles (articles), systematized in 13 sections. They reflected the norms of state, civil, land, criminal and procedural law. The main sources of the Statute of 1529 were local customary law, charters, the Sudebnik of 1468 and Russkaya Pravda. In 1566, the Second Statute (the second edition of the Statute) was published, consisting of 14 sections and 367 articles and fixing the socio-economic and political changes in the state. In 1588, the Third Statute (the third edition of the Statute) was published, which was in force on the territory of Belarus and Lithuania until 1840. 22: 641:
corporal punishment and imprisonment. The death penalty was provided for the commission of a state crime, murder, theft and a number of other acts. It was carried out in the form of hanging, burning, drowning and cutting off the head. Corporal punishment in relation to ordinary people included beating with a whip or with rods. Mutilation, such as cutting off a hand, ears, tongue, cutting nostrils, was also practiced. Imprisonment was also used – for a period of six weeks to one year and six weeks. As an additional measure of punishment against the nobility, deprivation of honor and rights could be applied.
582:. In the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the legal capacity of the poor landless service gentry was limited. The petty gentry, who served with the pan, could not leave the service without the consent of the master and did not have the opportunity to dispose of the well-earned estate. Dependent peasants did not have the right to acquire land by right of ownership, they could not freely dispose of their real estate. The most limited were the rights of involuntary servants, who could not receive property even by will. The land holdings of the feudal lords were of three types: fatherlands or grandfathers – estates 650:, Lithuanian legislation provided for a fine for some crimes – "guilt", as well as compensation for damage to the victims or relatives of the murdered – golovshchina. “Guilt” was exacted in favor of the treasury or the bodies and officials themselves who administer justice. The size of the golovshchina depended on the class and position of the murdered. For example, according to the Statute of 1529, for the murder of a hard-working peasant, he was 10 kops of 551:– special charters, private laws aimed at ensuring the rights of individuals or social groups. There were different land-wide privileges, which operated on the territory of the entire state, regional, given to the inhabitants of any one land (principality, voivodeship, district), volost, city and personal (personal). In 1468, 592:. The law established the form and procedure for making transactions, the statute of limitations, the sequence of penalties, etc. Thus, the contract for the sale of estates had to be made in writing in the presence of witnesses and registered in court.
