"Her" Marriage after the Revolutions

Recent social changes have made husbands' emotional investments and wives' perceptions of equity in the division of housework crucial for women's marital happiness. But wives are also happiest in their marriages when they share a strong normative commitment to lifelong marriage with their husbands and when their husbands take the lead in breadwinning. Thus our research suggests that elements of the new and the old promote marital happiness among contemporary wives.

Partner Choice and the Differential Retreat From Marriage

The contemporary retreat from marriage in the United States has had a differential impact across socioeconomic and racial groups. Here, 1990 marriage rates and propensities for Virginia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin are analyzed regarding (a) the likelihood that persons in different groups ever marry and (b) patterns of partner choice with respect to race and educational level. Marriage remains strong in most race‐education groups but is substantially lower among Blacks and among those with less than 12 years of education. Patterns of partner choice have shifted to show greater symmetry between the educational levels of brides and grooms. Changes have been modest with regard to the level and pattern of interracial (Black‐White) marriage. Marriage is increasingly a union of equals, but a union chosen more by Whites than by Blacks and more by the well educated than by the poorly educated.

从空间角度论一妻多夫婚姻家庭--以佳碧村为案例

德钦县佳碧村是一个目前仍然存在较多一妻多夫婚姻的村庄,通过对该村所进行的较长时间的田野调查,笔者发现村民们对其所居住的生态环境的认知,即他们对生境空间尤其是生计空间的划分和利用与婚姻形式之间存在着密切的关系.根据时这种关系和相应的经济收入的分析和统计说明,无论从生计空间的占有还是从经济收入方面看,一妻多夫家庭都远远胜于一妻一夫家庭,这就是一妻多夫婚姻形式存在和延续的重要原因.     

仪式婚的若干法律问题思考

新中国成立后,国家通过立法一举废除了仪式婚,改采登记婚。但由于民间传统习俗的影响和一些人法制观念淡薄等原因,仪式婚仍在一定范围内存在。仪式婚的形成与发展有其深刻的社会历史因素,因此,我国司法实践中对待仪式婚效力的态度也相应发生了变化,但在目前形势下,对仪式婚进行法律保护仍具有一定的必要性,其合理方法是进一步完善我国现行婚姻法律制度,即在某种情况下将仪式婚纳入法律轨道,实行婚姻法上的"一法二制"。     

Cohabitation in Great Britain: not for long, but here to stay

This paper uses a new source of data to study the dramatic increase in cohabiting unions in Great Britain. It analyses, in turn, entry into first partnership, the stability of cohabiting unions and repartnering after dissolution of cohabitation. In excess of 70% of first partnerships are now cohabitations, and these last a relatively short time before being either turned into marriage or dissolved. The shift to cohabitation as the dominant mode of first partnership plays an important role in the delay of first marriage and motherhood. The paper also investigates the factors that are associated with the outcome of cohabitations.

婚嫁格局变动与乡村发展——以康村通婚圈为例

农村经济体制改革后 ,康村的婚嫁距离急剧缩短 ,通婚区域快速内卷 ,通婚村减少 ,婚入与婚出出现了地域上的不对称性。形成这一局面的原因主要在于工业化、城镇化进程的不同速度打破了改革前的社会均质状态 ,引起了地区及村落发展的不平衡 ,而农村经营方式的转变和初级市场网络的复兴也对婚嫁格局、通婚距离及流向产生了一定影响。这种婚嫁格局的变动将造成婚入与婚出的失衡 ,危及人口素质的提高、村落的发展和人口结构的地域平衡
