Is There a Universal Standard? What Do Contemporary Families Look Like? Ross and Janet have been married more than forty-seven years. They have two chil- dren, a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law, and four grandsons. Few would dispute the notion that all these members are part of a common kinship group because all are related by birth or marriage. The three couples involved each got engaged, made a public announcement of their wedding plans, got married in a religious ceremony, and moved to separate residences, and each female accepted her husband’s last name. Few would question that each of these groups of couples with their children constitutes a family, although a question remains as to whether they are a single family unit or multiple family units. More difficult to classify are the families of Vernon and Jeanne and their chil- dren. Married for more than twenty years, Vernon and Jeanne had four children whom have had vastly different family experiences. Their oldest son, John, moved into a new addition to his parents’ house when he was married and continues to live there with his wife and three children. Are John, his wife, and his children a separate family unit, or are they part of Vernon and Jeanne’s family unit? The second child, Sonia, pursued a career in marketing and never married.

Shotgun Weddings”: the Impact of Abortion on Young Women’S Marriage Decision
LATER MARRIAGE AND DISAPPEARING “SHOTGUN WEDDINGS”: THE IMPACT OF ABORTION ON YOUNG WOMEN’S MARRIAGE DECISION Ruoding Tan The Graduate Center, City University of New York CUNY Institute for Demographic Research Extended Abstract submitted for consideration for presentation at the 2012 meetings of the Population Association of America I. Background The late 1960s and early 1970s ushered in a period of seismic change in access to abortion brought by state legislative reform and the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe. v. Wade. Past research has extensively examined the direct fertility effect of abortion legalization. However, what has received far less attention is whether legalization of abortion altered women’s marriage choice as well. One of the most significant demographic changes that parallel the fertility decline among American women during the 1970s was the steady increase in age at first marriage and decline in the marriage rates (Figure 1). The overall marriage rate plunged from 10.8 per thousand people in 1970 to 7.3 per thousand 30 years later. Moreover, changes in the distribution of age at first marriage across cohorts correspond closely to abortion legalization (Figure 2). The fraction of women marrying before age 21 declined from 58.51 % for the cohort born in 1940 to 39.78 % for the cohort born in 1960. Similarly, the fraction of women marrying before 23 plumed from 75.10 % for those born in 1940 to 55.45% for the cohort born in 1960. With entry into marriage falling and the marriage rates decreasing during the 1970s, more young American women choose to remain single for a longer period of time before marrying.

Psychoanalytic Conceptions of Marriage and Marital Relationships 381 Been Discussing, Since These Figures Are Able to Reanimate Pictures of Their Mother Or Father

This work disclusses marital types and merital relationships as by several psychoanalysts: Sigmund Freud, Annie Reich, Helene Deutch, Knight Aldrich and Bela Mittelman. It analyzes kinds of relations hips, dynamics of interaction and inner mechanisms of interaction.Comparing marital types of the mentioned authors it can be seen that there is agreement among them and that they mainly represent further elaboration and "topic variation" of the basic marital types which are discussed by Sigmund Freud: anaclictic and narcissistic.Also, it can be concluded that all analysed marital types possess several common characteristics: 1. they are defined by relationships in childhood with parents or other important persons with whom a child was in touch; 2. dynamics of partner relationships is defined by unconscious motives; 3. same kinds of relationships and same type of partner selection a person repeats in all further attempts in spite of the fact that it does not give satisfactory results. Key words: psychoanalysis, marriage, partner, choice, relationships According to Si gmund Fr e ud , the founder of psychoanalysis, marital partner choice, as well as marital relationships, are defined much before marriage was concluded. Relationship with marital partner is determined by relationships with parents and important persons in one's childhood.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

Marriage Outlaws: Regulating Polygamy in America
Faucon_jci (Do Not Delete) 1/6/2015 3:10 PM Marriage Outlaws: Regulating Polygamy in America CASEY E. FAUCON* Polygamist families in America live as outlaws on the margins of society. While the insular groups living in and around Utah are recognized by mainstream society, Muslim polygamists (including African‐American polygamists) living primarily along the East Coast are much less familiar. Despite the positive social justifications that support polygamous marriage recognition, the practice remains taboo in the eyes of the law. Second and third polygamous wives are left without any legal recognition or protection. Some legal scholars argue that states should recognize and regulate polygamous marriage, specifically by borrowing from business entity models to draft default rules that strive for equal bargaining power and contract‐based, negotiated rights. Any regulatory proposal, however, must both fashion rules that are applicable to an American legal system, and attract religious polygamists to regulation by focusing on the religious impetus and social concerns behind polygamous marriage practices. This Article sets out a substantive and procedural process to regulate religious polygamous marriages. This proposal addresses concerns about equality and also reflects the religious and as‐practiced realities of polygamy in the United States. INTRODUCTION Up to 150,000 polygamists live in the United States as outlaws on the margins of society.1 Although every state prohibits and criminalizes polygamy,2 Copyright © 2014 by Casey E.

(Arranged) Marriage: an Autoethnographical Exploration of a Modern Practice
TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XXII APRIL 2020 FIRST COMES (ARRANGED) MARRIAGE: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHICAL EXPLORATION OF A MODERN PRACTICE Author: Dian Babu Faculty Sponsor: John Landreau Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies ABSTRACT This article uses autoethnography and family interviews to analyze the modern cultural practice of arranged marriage from my standpoint as a first generation Indian-American. Borrowing from Donna Haraway’s notion of situated knowledge, Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, and W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of double consciousness, this article presents the idea of immigrant consciousness and precedes to contend with the sociocultural circumstances, such as transnational migration, assimilation, and racism-classism, that have prompted the evolution of a modern iteration of arranged marriage. The central question that informs this paper is what does arranged marriage mean – and how can it be defended and/or criticized – in different circumstances and from different standpoints in the transnational South Asian context? INTRODUCTION Dating is foreign to me. Is that strange to hear? Let me qualify that statement: American dating is foreign to me. I am a first-generation Indian-American, Christian girl. I am the child of parents who immigrated from India to the United States and who were brought together through an arranged marriage. The practice of arranged marriage runs through most of my family history and dating is a relatively new practice to us collectively. Important to note, however, is that my family members’ individual histories, like all histories, do not run on one generalized path. I have family members who never married, who remarried, who had forced marriages, who had “love marriages,” who married young, who married non- Indian people, who divorced, and so on and so forth.

2018 8th International Conference on Education, Management, Computer and Society (EMCS 2018) Comparison on Wedding Culture between China and Western Countries Lihong Xu * Meihong Xu School of Foreign Languages Zhong nan Hospital of Wuhan University, China Wuhan University of Technology, China [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Marriage has played an important part in keeping the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Different countries have their distinct wedding cultures, which reveal the social life, ethics, religion, values, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. To enhance people’s understanding of different cultures in the process of cultural globalization, this paper will analyze and compare the differences between Chinese and western wedding culture from the aspects of traditional values, religion and wedding processes. Keywords—Chinese ethic views, Religion, Pre-wedding customs, Wedding day I. INTRODUCTION From ancient times to the present, marriage has played an important part in the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Marriage in different societies has formed its peculiar wedding culture and customs, which reveal the social life, values, ethics, religion, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. [1] It is a culture accumulation and spiritual wealth created by human beings. With the increasing development of world economy and acceleration of globalization, different cultures have undergone a process of clash and integration. People have more choices when it comes to their wedding ceremony, western or eastern, traditional or modern. No matter which style they choose, the profound values attached to the wedding customs cannot be ignored. The traditional ethics and religious beliefs are always the most important cornerstone of marriage and stable family.
