View of Historically, marriage has been the foundation of family beside being a legal institution, which in turn represents the basis of society, the same society that has helped it evolve through the ages (Cfr. Koschaker, Paul, Europa y el Derecho Romano, Madrid, Wittman, 1995, p. 1 y ss.), as to what originates it and who can contract it, marriage as a legal act generates a bond between the parties that has such a dissoluble character and despite a few details throughout its history it has always been like that. To explain the dissolution of the marriage bond, we will first analyze the figure of marriage, as it was and as it is today, which leads us to analyze and understand the different figures by means of which a marriage can be dissolved. In the same way we can determine if these figures have evolved or have remained valid in the legislation through the times. | RIDROM. International Journal of Roman Law
