Брачни и сексуални норми в ромската общност
Marital and sexual norms in the Roma community

Summary/Abstract: This study presents some aspects from Roma reality like marital and sexual norms in the community – basic for sustaining the community identity. These norms are changing because the community is in period of transition. This fact reflects the individual and group sensation for community boundaries and difference from the majority. Families with new behavioral models appear – so called „denominated“ families (with denominated values and norms). They are in an identity vacuum – the old norms lose their regulative functions but the new norms, these of the gadjo (non-Roma) are not integrated yet. This defines these families as isolates from their own community and from this of the Bulgarian majority. These families are the indicator for the coming changes in the Roma ethnic self-conscience and in the Roma community identity.
