| Abstract | The introduction of the Romanian Civil Code in 2011 represented for the entire socioeconomicreality in Romania a major change of the landmarks the Romanian legal systemwas built upon, was consolidated on and developed from. Changes in family relationshipswere substantial, new concepts being introduced, the existing ones adapting to the newdynamics of personal lives. A series of specific notions were introduced aiming at changingcertain institutions (in the field of the matrimonial regime) or several factual situations thathad not previously been acknowledged legally found now legislative recognition (theengagement). It should be noted that there were considered the international conventions towhich Romania is part, and the European standards in the field, as well. The labor forcemigration towards the foreign markets, the insecurity of work place in the European countrieshave ‘elasticized’ the traditional Romanian family, have led to a gap in the formerly constantphysical connection between the family members, have made the authorities face theproblems of responsibility for the children left in the country by the parents who had goneabroad. To bring up the children left by their parents has thus become a ‘duty’ ofgrandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends of the family or neighbors. If the psychical traumasof these children cannot yet be quantified, the legislative problems they raised have nowstarted to be regulated by the authorities. |
