In Czech historical demography the study of nuptiality is usually based on parish registers. This articles infoms of posibility of using of serf lists. These offer a somewhat different perspective - the determining of the marriage rate for a period in which there were no statistics. However it is possible to reconstruct the number of inhabitants in a parish by means of inverse projections. An alternative means of attaining a rough estimate of the marriage rate is to work with the population documented in the serf lists. In this case the procedure is to relate the number of newly married to the number of all documented serfs in each individual year. These methods were applied to the parish of Horni Police on the one hand and the estate of Horni Police on the other. In the first case a rough estimate of the marriage rate was around 8-9 marriages per 1000 inhabitants in the parish per year. In the second case the marriage rate appears to be somewhat lower, with 6-7 new marriages per 1000 registered serfs per year.

Family may be defined as a relatively durable group of persons which is based on blood relations, is caused by marriage eventually by adoption and its main functions are reproduction, upbringing, but also carry over cultural models. Meaning of marriage institution is very often discussed topic not only in context of this definition. These discussions are provoked not only by opinions and questions in terms of marriage as an outworn institution, but also by the results of demographic statistic. In these results we can see trends of decreasing nuptiality, perhaps even weakening of family in the basic word sense (low fertility in general, growth of proportion of extramarital born children etc.). Introductory part of this article affords view of continuance of nuptiality during the twentieth century and also outline of some aspects that contribute to current nuptiality situation. The second part is focused on attitudes of Czech public towards marriage and on their ideas about importance and sense of marriage as well.
