- Annotation: This article examines the legal status of women in the Tangut society based on the materials of the “Amended and Approved New Code of Regnal Era of Heavenly Prosperityˮ, as well as the basic laws that establish the rights and obligations of women in the state of Xi Xia. The articles of the code that define women by social status, are raised. The women’s status is analysed in the whole variety of their social roles in the Tangut state – mother, wife, daughter, widow, concubine, nun, slave. Laws, indicating restrictions on marriage and divorce, and establishing a distinction between a lawful wife and a concubine were also considered. Serious attention is paid to female victims of family crimes. Topicality of the theme is due to the high interest in the culture of the peoples inhabiting the territory of China in the past, since the development of their culture had a lot of influence on the development of China itself, which today is a multinational state.
