Abstract
The paper deals with the theme of wedding, wedding customs, views, and beliefs connected to marriage, girlhood and the notion of erotic in the novels Bihorci and The Battle of Mojkovac by Ćamil Sijarić. The paper links the text of the novels to traditional beliefs connected to wedding and marriage, based mostly on Slavic mythology and the way of life in a traditional rural community. The ethnologically-precisely described wedding customs are parodied and caricatured within the novel’s context or are given a tragic context. Such parodied customs and beliefs play a role in characterisation of characters and in building up their grotesque or, on the other hand, being torn between traditions on the one hand and social and the historical circumstances that the characters live in.
