Abstract

Kinship studies were the foundation of classical anthropology. By providing an overview of the main family practices that surround marriage in a rural community, the article shows that marriage has been and continues to be the core of kin ties in Romania as it constitutes the main source of power for individuals participating in in horizontal relations, in their social environment.
