Uncertainty, Restrictions and Reinvented Weddings in Pandemic Hungary
Based on digital anthropological research this paper explores both the wedding planning process as experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, with its concomitant uncertainty and myriad restrictions, and the interpretations of tradition that accompanied it through the medium of specific examples. The discussion looks at how couples, in a period of liminality, attempted to organise weddings amidst changeable, unpredictable circumstances; how they u…
Resilience and Ritual
According to demographic reports, while the marriage rate fell significantly during the pandemic worldwide, this was not the case in Hungary: despite the adverse circumstances, the number of marriages in fact increased, although, at the same time, the number of divorces also rose. What was the reason behind this? Is there perhaps a correlation between the two phenomena? Marriage "fever" during the pandemic, and the rise in the number of divorces,…
Ways to Get and End Marriage
During the pandemic, Hungary was the only country in the world where the number of marriages not only decreased but also increased. Parallel to this, in the five years prior to the pandemic there were not as many divorces in Hungary as afterwards. Every year since late socialism, there were at least 10,000 fewer new marriages than marriages ending in divorce or death; a trend that was broken in 2019 when the government introduced new loans for ma…

From 20th century weddings to quarantine weddings

Even if they touched upon the transformati…

Love in the Time of Coronavirus
International sociological research based on demographic data has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly shaped the way of getting married. According to this research, varying from minimal to dramatic, there was a decrease in marriage rates worldwide. The marriage rate in Hungary showed a different picture. The number of weddings increased by 3%. It can also be seen that the number of marriages per month during the pandemic tended to decr…
From deviancy to norm
In my writing, I examine the formation and transformation of the betrothal practices of the Roman Catholic Hungarian community of Gyimes based on the results of my fieldwork research from 2005 to 2016. Betrothal came into practice in the 1980s; prior to that, ethnographic sources only mention the ritual occasion of proposal. According to Roman Catholic church norms, the ring could not be worn before the church wedding; only newlyweds were allowed…
