  Roma women in Montenegro stand at the crossroads of tradition and social transformation, reflecting both the resilience and structural challenges faced by their communities. This paper examines the evolving role of Roma women in contemporary Montenegrin society, with particular attention to the persistence of early and underage marriage and its impact on girls’ education, autonomy, and social participation. Using a sociological analytical approach based on existing literature, policy documents, and reports from organisations such as UNICEF, UNDP, and the European Roma Rights Centre, the study explores how cultural norms, poverty, and gender inequality interact to shape the life opportunities of Roma girls. At the same time, the paper highlights the growing role of Roma women’s activism and community initiatives in challenging restrictive norms and promoting education and empowerment. The findings suggest that Roma women are not only affected by social exclusion but are increasingly emerging as important agents of social change and integration within Montenegrin society.

  In Hungary, as well as worldwide, one of the main objects of health sociology research is social inequality, focusing mainly on the inequalities stemming from health conditions. The main question is where and how these inequalities appear and evolve during the whole life-history, and how they sustain. In modern societies these differences clearly appear in the markers of health conditions like subjective well-being. The rate of inequalities are defined by essential sociocultural and sociodemographic variables like residual environment, geographical location, age or gender. A very important attribute of social research is to examine these phenomena on different stages and from various aspects. In my study I investigate these stages and aspects using the relevant theoretical literature.
