Fa CTO RS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MIXED MARR1A GES 561 confession had only 8458 members (6.5%) while the O represented a low minority (0.3%). In majority the population was formed of HC believers (70.4%) and RC (18.8%)15. This situation makes the GC’s marital behaviour have, besides preserving the confessional identity by marriage, an important inter-confessional and inter-community mobility as one can see from the table bellow. In the parishes of Kadad16, Silind and Verpes the percent of mixed marriages from the total number of marriages overpasses 60%.

From the point of view of preference for inter-confessional marriages, women are open up to 66.6% and men up to 33.34%. Women’s preference reaches very high levels in the parish of Oradea, maybe due to the hope of achieving another social status, having in view the fact that they were looking for partners who could offer them that status. We should mention that this status is rather modest, most of the women married servants. The District of the Archpriest of SATMAR (Szatmariensis) The district of the archpriest of Satmar had 8 parishes situated at South- South-West of Satu- Here are some explanations for such behaviour.
