| description | The article presents an analysis of the family relationships in ancient Babylon, in accordance with the laws of Hammurabi. The author dwells upon the characteristics of selected institutes of family law of the Amorites and comes to the conclusion that the family life in ancient Mesopotamia was very developped.
