Igić, Vanja ; Otčenášek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Petráňová, Lydie (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to show contemporary wedding customs in Belgrade and Prague on the background of typical Old Serbian and Old Czech wedding. The thesis primarily thoroughly deals with the characterization of wedding customs which lasted to this day and therefore became a part of modern weddings. Simultaneously it tries to depict similarities and differences in traditions of both of the described regions.

Legally economical aspects of marriage
Lániková, Barbora ; Hájková, Ivana (advisor) ; Světlíková, Daniela (referee)
Nowadays only approximately a half of marriages in the Czech Republic succeed.
The society is faced with about a 50 per cent divorce rate. The number of marriages is reducing and on the other hand, the number of cohabitation is increasing.
The aforementioned issues show the declining institution of marriage. A marriage is a topic that concerns, to a certain extent, every member of a society and so it should be given more attention. Therefore, the thesis focuses on this topic, specifically on legal and economic aspects of a marriage. The objective of the thesis is to evaluate whether legal and economic aspects impact a decision of couples to marry. To obtain information used in the preparation of the thesis, specialist literature and Internet sources were analysed.
The research is based on methods of comparison and surveys. The main conclusion of the thesis is that the law and economics do not impact a decision of couples to marry.
It can be also stated that it is good that these aspects do not affect couples who want to marry; feelings continue to be the decisive factor. On the other hand, there is a large percentage of couples just living together. Therefore, the main authorities of the Czech Republic should consider whether to take certain legislative steps to support the institution of marriage.

The wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort
ŘÍHOVÁ, Jana
This thesis deals with the wedding of Adam II. of Hradec and Catharine of Montfort. In a connection with the wedding strategies in the early modern period, this thesis explains the choice of a bride which was very crucial in the aristocratic environment not only for the married couple but also for their wide social surrounding. Then this thesis focuses on the whole ritual of wedding celebration from the courtship to the bride's arrival to the castle in Jindřichův Hradec in 1574. The nobleman's need to represent his noble estate is reflected in this celebration and Adam II. spent a huge amount of money on this wedding even though his domain was highly in debt. The thesis also analyses the wedding poems written in honour of the married couple by humanistic poets. Latin poetry refers to the nobility and ancient origin of the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec and emphasizes the continuation of the generation which could be achieved only by the posterity. The marriage is observed in a political and religious context of the period because it is closely related to the noblemen of Jindřichův Hradec who had numerous links to the House of Habsburg and also to the following religious development in Jindřichův Hradec, which were catholic thanks to the influence of Catherine of Montfort.
