Abstract

The article is devoted to the correlation between the norms of 'adat and shari'a in the Kumyk family life in the fi rst years of Soviet power. During this period, on the territory of the entire state, including Dagestan, Soviet legal doctrine was actively introduced with its own laws, principles and rules.The new laws of the country of the Soviets sharply contradicted the traditional norms of the Kumyks. This contradiction has been expressed in many issues, including family and domestic. At fi rst, the Soviet leadership strongly supported the norms of 'adat and shari'a. This was refl ected in the invitation to the dualistic marriage-according to the Soviet and shari'a laws. However, by the end of the 20s of the 20th century, an ideological campaign unfolded against the 'adat and shari'a norms.
