This book explores wedding and marriage traditions in Slavic cultures. The customs of different peoples are intertwined; traditions are not opposed but complementary. The study organizes the extensive material and offers unique interpretations, allowing for a deeper understanding of the symbolism of Slavic wedding traditions. Marriage motifs are also reflected in other aspects of folk life—calendar holidays, folklore, magic, and various aspects of everyday life. Family is revealed as a fundamental element of cultural tradition, a central link in the development of individuals and society.

This book is intended for folklorists and ethnolinguists, as well as anyone interested in the traditions, rites, and rituals of the Slavic world.
