(css.ethz.ch) This issue of the CAD examines the role of
traditional law in Georgia. Stéphane Voell argues that despite a new
political environment created by the strengthening of the state
administration and the work of law-enforcement agencies after the Rose
Revolution, traditional law remains an important frame of reference for
the Svan population. Lavrenti Janiashvili studies the practice of
traditional law in Svaneti in Soviet times as an important part of
Georgia's legal history that sheds light on contemporary practices. Elke
Kamm examines the practice of bride kidnapping in Tetritskaro, Georgia
and explains that it was considered by Georgian ethnographers as an
alternative form of marriage that allowed men to marry without going
into debt and still occurs nowadays, though rarely. Natia Jabaladze
studies the custom of blood feud among Svan migrants in the region of
Kvemo-Kartli in Georgia and observes that this tradition remains more
alive in self-representation among Svans than in practice.TRADITIONAL LAW IN GEORGIA
