Marriage and Family Life among Romanies as a Factor of their Social Position
Aleksandra Mitrović
Sažetak
This article is part of a more
extensive study entitled Social
Position of Romanies in Serbia.
In the context of the many problems
facing the Romany population, the
family and marital relation are
discussed as the framework within
which different problems come to
expression, and which are also a
»variable« that could or does
influence the creation of a problem.
The Romany family is not
examined per se, but in comparison
with some other socially threatened
groups whose social position is
similar to that of the Romany ethnic
group. These are families in which
there are no employed members and
families living on the existential
minimum. The results are based
on empirical research in Serbia
proper (without the autonomous
provinces). A sample of 280 Romany
families were interviewed. The
research results show that the
Romany family is at the bottom of
the social scale from the aspect of
the most important indicators of
social position (economic,
educational, political power and so
on); the Romany family is specific
and differs from families of other
socially threatened groups in that
the relations and cohesion in it are
relatively independent of external
factors, i.e. it exists within patterns
of the traditional family model.
