Summary/Abstract: Freedom of conscience and the nuptial ritual: an analysis of individual choice in various ethnic groups for the promotion of human dignity and peace. The article analyzes freedom of conscience through the lens of wedding rituals of various ethnic groups, such as Slovaks, Roma, Jews, and Swabians. It argues that these traditions are not mere vestiges of the past, but a living expression of human dignity and cultural identity. Moreover, rituals function as a form of non-formal education that transmits intergenerational values. By understanding and respecting these cultural manifestations, interethnic dialogue can be built, thus contributing to lasting peace and cultural pluralism.
