The Civil Code of 1734 was a code of law passed by the Swedish Riksdag of the Estates in 1734 and put into effect after ratification by King Frederick I of Sweden on 23 January 1736. It became the foundation of the later civil code of Sweden, and it remained the foundation in Finland even after Finland was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1809, though both countries have since made many alterations. The current Swedish Code of Statutes is still founded on this 1734 code.
