Abstract

Kosovo and Metohija in the interwar period were part of the Yugoslav state. The Serbian and Albanian population made up the majority in this area, which was characterized by traditionalism, national separation, transport disconnection with other parts of the country and insufficient state control. Social life in Kosovo and Metohija has attracted the attention of numerous ethnologists who have collected valuable material on it. Аttention was drawn to folk rules - the village community and its role in life, the organization of the family cooperative and life in it, tribal life, artificial kinship (godparents, blood brothers, blood sisters), wedding and other customs. In my paper, I will contribute to the research of marriage as one of the significant customs in the area of Kosovo and Metohija in the interwar period.
