БЪЛГАРСКАТА ЛИТЕРАТУРА ОТ XIX ВЕК И ПРОБЛЕМЪТ ЗА СМЕСЕНИТЕ БРАКОВЕ
BULGARIAN LITERARY HISTORY AND THE PROBLEM OF MIXED MARRIAGES

Summary/Abstract: Mixed marriages are one of the effects of migration. Every community has its own marriage regulations that define which marriages (meaning also which forms of inter-cultural exchange, inter-cultural dialog) are allowed, possible and inadmissible. In the foundations of these rules, strictly related to the definitions of the “own” and “alien”, and with the further differentiation of the “own”, lay the ideas about what is useful for the community. These rules are embedded in different tests; for the time when national law system was still not created, oral traditions and literature were among their main carriers. The paper is focused at the plots in literature dealing with marriages and love affairs of Bulgarian women with men from other ethnical origins, other religion and especially with the faith of some women that had to live in a community, different from their own.
