Relationships are difficult to understand without considering the
structure and types of legal relationships. The structure of legal
relationships includes the following elements: subjects, objects
(material or spiritual), content (legal rights and responsibilities).

The subjects of legal relationships can be physical and legal
persons, who must have certain legal properties – to be legally
capable, capable and delict capable.

Legal capability is the ability of a person to have legal rights and
responsibilities. It comes from the moment of birth and is lost with the
death of an individual.
Capacity is the ability to acquire legal rights and carry legal

responsibilities with your actions. It starts since majority, from 18
years old, and if persons get married, then from the date of marriage.
In some cases, the marriage age may be reduced by one year.

Delict capability is the ability of a person to carry legal
responsibility. Delict capability does not always coincide with legal
capability. In various legal relationships and in various branches of

law legal capability begins from different ages.
Objects of legal relationships can be material and spiritual
values. Material values include means of production, property, things,

money, securities, etc. Spiritual values include works of art, culture,
life, honour and dignity of a person, copyright, etc. Objects of legal
relations can be those objects that are in civil goods turnover, as well
as the activities and behaviour of subjects.

Content of legal relationships. The content of legal relationships
includes legal or natural rights and responsibilities of participants in
social relations.

Types of legal relations. Relationships are very diverse in
nature, and there are a lot of their types:
- depending on the regulation of the law, they can be regulated
by law (normative act) and not regulated – natural legal relationships;

- depending on the branches of law (subject of legal regulation),
they may be constitutional, administrative, civil and legal, financial
and legal, labour, land, ecological, criminal and legal, etc.;

- depending on the number of subjects involved in the legal
relationships, they can be divided into simple (two subjects) and
complex when there are three or more subjects;
