The Hvar Statute was redacted in 1331., so currently, the 690'th anniversary of its creation is marked, which contributed to the choice of the topic of this work. As a legal document of the Hvar Commune, the Statute gives a concise overview of the social life of the commune, through the centuries, until the collapse of the Venetian Republic in 1797. Written in Latin and during its duration, the Hvar commune was the most economically rich in Venetian Dalmatia in terms of economic power, in the middle of the 16th century. Given that the Statute, in addition to protecting economic relations, also deals with the protection of human rights in some elementary sense, in today's terms, special emphasis will be placed on the legal position of women, precisely because of the ever-current topic of women's position in society. Through a comparative overview of the institute of family and marriage and inheritance law of Dalmatian statutes, a review of the legal position of women will be given, especially through a comparison of the institutes of Korcula and Hvar statutes, as the statute of Neretva area.
