In the last few years European Family Law has undergone
considerable changes. Although in the past law reform was slow,
since 1969 the impetus for reform has gathered momentum. It is no
exaggeration to say that the changes that have occurred in Europe
in the last six or seven years have radically altered the very
concept of the family in Europe. As a distinguished scholar and
former editor of the Family Law volume of the International
Encyclopaedia of Com parative Law, Professor Max Rheinstein, has
put it: 'These transformations are not fully completed anywhere.
They have gone farthest in the countries of highest
industrialization and in those of socialist rule. But they have set
in wherever industrialization has obtained a foothold. The degree
of 'modernization' offamily law may indeed be used as an index of a
society's degree of Westernization. 'l Yet, such is the force of
traditional patterns of thought that, although we are aware of
distinct changes in various legal systems, the underlying and
implied assumption is that family law can still move within the
traditional framework. This is not surprising for, until
comparatively recently at least family law was not thought of as a
suitable subject of unification. It was claimed that there is a
peculiar and distinct element which derives from the mores and
innermost beliefs of each people, from a sort of family Volksgeist
that renders impossible the approximation or unification of family
law."
