The article examines the Ukrainian model of gender parity during the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Hetmanship. Special emphasis is placed on the rights of Ukrainian women in marriage under customary law, and the formation of equality between men and women in the field of family relations is given. The leading role of Christian ideology in the formation of attitudes regarding women's rights is indicated, attention is focused on the different views of the church and the community regarding marriage and divorce. The publication proved that customary law, passing on the moral experience of generations, had a decisive influence on gender parity in Ukrainian lands up to and including the end of the 17th century
