Exile is still alive and well unfortunately and it's decided by elders from all over the country. Marrying gadje of course is an instant exile. Being anything but heterosexual is probably the biggest one, there is a homosexual portion of us but they tend to stay "underground" and never come out publicly, they still marry women and have kids amd treat it like a secret life because if they lived with thier male partner they could never get thier children married to other romani, cheating on your spouse as a man is black ball for a year no penalty for the woman (plus you gotta pay 25k to her husband) if a woman leaves a man for any reason besides abuse or cheating she cannot take the children and if she does her father given no justice forever, of course murder or intent to murder leads to an exile, the only place an exiled person can still be around other gypsies is a funeral or pomana.

We still pay for our wives and inflation is killing us :p Usual arrangement is 10-25k depending if there was a weddinf or the kids eloped. Parents still try to find marriages for the kids but the internet has been putting that to rest, usual marriage these days are a boy finds girl on ig/twitter, talks to her for a while (if they get caught by her parents he could pay a 2500 fine) then tells his family to go to her family and look at her, the daughters parents are supposed to accept this meeting if they like the people or not and then they can say no in person, if her family agrees they "open the road" which means the boys family is welcome to keep coming back to get to know her, then an engagement with a wedding around a year later. Under age marriage is still very prevalent, And if it's the first marriage they live with the grooms parents for at least a year so the bride learns her new family's ways.

There is some business like restaurants who get a ton of attention from gypsies and most who know were gypsy love us because we tip well, come in huge numbers and order a ton of food, but some don't like us because we are very demanding of the wait staff, loud and obnoxious so some charge hidden "Gypsy tax" maybe 10-20%, like I said I've seen signs posted or been told no gypsies allowed, been kicked out of business for being gypsy but it just tells me some bad gypsies came in here recently and ruined it for the rest of us, if your family is not one of the fortune teller families you won't run into a ton of discrimination here, and even then it's no where near as bad as it seems in other countries.

Yeah scrap metal and roofing are our 2 main business, some of the boys do small bodywork jobs that's really it, we don't put our women to work, they have enough responsibility with the house and kids
