The
jus primae noctis was, in the European late medieval context, a widespread popular belief in an ancient privilege of the lord of the manor to share the wedding bed with his peasants' brides. ...Symbolic gestures, reflecting this belief, were developed by the lords and used as humiliating signs of superiority over the dependent peasants in the fifteenth century, a time of diminishing status differences. Actual intercourse in the exercise of the alleged right is difficult to prove, and there is no hard evidence to suggest that it ever actually happened. However, the symbolic gestures can be best interpreted as a male power display, with a basis in the psychology of coercive social dominance, male competition, and male desire for sexual variety. Several non-European cultures have accounts of a similar custom related to a young girl's first sexual intercourse: ritual defloration by chiefs, priests, or strangers. This non-European custom differs from the
jus primae noctis in its proximate details, but seems from an ultimate point of view, to be in conformity with the European evidence. In this article the origin, development, and relationship of both customs are discussed and interpreted in light of recent evolutionary studies of primate behavior and sexual psychology.

Biskup fra Augustin Miletić, vikar Apostolskoga vikarijata u Srebreničko-otomanskoj Bosni od 1813. do 1831., u svome djelu Naredbe i uprave
biskupa namistnika apostolski proshasti i sadašnjega ...osobitu pažnju posvećuje ženidbi i svatovskim običajima. Cilj mu je bio iskorijeniti loše i
pogubne običaje kod katolika, kako one povezane sa svatovskim običajima tako i one koji su se javljali i u drugim prigodama i okolnostima. Stoga ovo djelo i obiluje podatcima iz pučke tradicije i svakodnevnoga života kako samih vjernikâ tako i župnikâ i njihovih kapelana. Kao i u drugim Miletićevim djelima, i u ovome je njegov izričaj jedan od najvrsnijih
među franjevačkim piscima Bosne Srebrene.
Autorica slijedi trag specifičnog darivanja nevjeste novcem za poljubac u svih regionalnih bunjevačkih skupina u Podunavlju, koji vodi i do primorsko-ličkih Bunjevaca. Komparativnom analizom utvrđuje ...raspored te pojave i njezinih suvrstica na prostoru jugoistočne Europe. Darivanje je karakteristično i za vlaške skupine te druge starosjedilačke narode, čija prostorna zastupljenost upućuje
na prožimanja starosjedilačkog i slavenskog kulturnog sloja u južnim prostorima jugoist. Europe, kao i na pravce kasnijeg širenja toga običaja prema zapadu i sjeveru, s krajnjim točkama upravo na izrazitijim bunjevačkim područjima.

Autorica analizira prerušavanje u "rodnog drugog", kojim se ostvaruje ludički iskorak u okviru hrvatskih pokladnih i svadbenih običaja. Pojavu kontrastira sa svakodnevnim transvestizmom, kao i s ...usvajanjem atributa suprotnoga spola do kojeg sporadično dolazi u drugim običajima. Prikazuje inačice takva maskiranja i sredstva kojima se preobrazba ostvaruje. O običajnoj inverziji spolova raspravlja kao o dopuštenom, pa i poželjnom, periodičkom prijestupu.
