A deviancia példája az ördöngösfüzesi lakodalomban
A Deviant Wedding Form in Ördöngösfüzes/ Fizeşu Gherlii

Summary/Abstract: While dealing with customs related to weddings, I have found out that in the researched settlement not all cases succumb to the norms dictated by the community. A person’s individual interests and convictions, as well as the need for a social life often cause tension. Young people violate the wedding code, when defying the expectations, they elope. Eloping might have had different reasons: parents did not like the chosen party, the groom didn’t yet complete military service, they wanted to start their sexlife sooner, the two families’ financial background, provenance or interests did not match, the families could not agree upon the dowry, the bride got pregnant, the parents could not afford a wedding, or the bride was married before. The study presents the different forms of eloping through three different case studies, since a general model is very difficult to draw, and each case is different.
