This article is a socio-legal analysis of the current society being in a conflict of generations and ideas about the role of the family and its historical evolution from the rules of the Roman law to the new trends in the regulation of the matrimonial framework in accordance with the European law. Caught between tradition and secularism, the role of the family often becomes quite ungrateful, its space often being unable to satisfy people’s desires, feelings and choices. If the family relationships no longer correspond to all these, because they restrict the freedom of the individual, then what else can we put instead, what is the alternative? Analyzing objectively, we notice a trend in reconfiguring the moral values with the help of legal norms as a justification in the great anti-structural movement. The analysis reveals three major destructive trends for the family, namely: that of responsibilities, that of delimitation and isolation of the family from the society and that of the alternatives proposed to replace the traditional family. We will therefore submit this institution of the family to a study focused on sociological, legal, spiritual but also moral landmarks as an alarm signal regarding the obsolescence of the concept of family and its utility.
