Auer, Blain. "Marriage, Political Alliance, and Imperial Polities in Early Ghaznavid History." Afghanistan 6, no. 1 (April 2023): 1–28. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/afg.2023.0101.
Full textAbstract:
This article considers how marriages were utilized in early Ghaznavid history to forge political alliances, establish relationships of power and to bind together different royal family households. Marriage was employed as a diplomatic tool to ease political tensions and to strengthen coalitions. The Ghaznavid ruler Maḥmūd (r. 388–421/998–1030) utilized marriage alliances with great success to consolidate and expand his territories. In 391/1001, he forged a coalition with the Karakhanids through a marriage to the daughter of Naṣr b. ʿAlī (d. 403/1012–3). In 406/1015–16, Maḥmūd married his own sister Ḥurra Kāljī to the Khwarazmshah al-Maʾmūn II (r. 399–407/1009–17). This paper attempts to answer unstudied questions concerning the role of marriage and the influence of female royal family members in the construction of imperial polities of the medieval period in Central Asia, Iran, and Afghanistan. It shows that the effective creation of strategic marriage alliances was a key factor in the success of the early Ghaznavid empire.

Full textAbstract:
Human marriage systems, characterized by long-term partnerships and extended windows of parental care, differ from the mating systems of pulsed or seasonally breeding non-human animals in which Bateman’s principles were originally tested. These features, paradigmatic of but not unique to humans, complicate the accurate measurement of mating success in evaluating Bateman’s three principles. Here, we unpack the concept of mating success into distinct components: number of partners, number of years partnered, the timing of partnerships, and the quality of partners. Drawing on longitudinal records of marriage and reproduction collected in a natural-fertility East African population over a 20-year period, we test and compare various models of the relationship between mating success and reproductive success (RS), and show that an accurate assessment of male and female reproductive behaviour requires consideration of all major components of mating success. Furthermore, we demonstrate that while Bateman’s third principle holds when mating success is defined in terms of years married, women’s fitness increases whereas men’s fitness decreases from an increase in the number of marriage partners, holding constant the total effective duration of marriages. We discuss these findings in terms of the distinct, sex-specific pathways through which RS can be optimized, and comment on the contribution of this approach to the broader study of sexual selection.

Full textAbstract:
An index of a family's success is the caliber of talent it manages to attract and retain through marriage. This fundamental fact in sociology, anthropology, and history has received little attention in the family business field. Parents in Western societies have two windows of opportunity to enhance long-term family success through marriage: first, before their children reach puberty, and later, after they choose spouses for themselves.

Full textAbstract:
The “Jo Kawin Bocah” (Javanese term for “No Child Marriage”) movement implemented by the Central Java Government over the past two years has significantly reduced the number of child marriages in Central Java province. This research aims to analyze the concept of “Jo Kawin Bocah” as a government-sponsored movement, identify the critical success factors, and explore the concept in terms maqāṣid al-sharī'ah (Sharia objectives). This field research uses a qualitative approach and deductive thinking, with data collected from interviews and documentation. The findings show that the social movement is feasible because stakeholders are aware of the negative impacts of early marriage. Another critical success factor is the involvement of community members and district/city leaders and collaboration between civil society organizations, the government, educational institutions, and other cross-sector organizations. Viewed from the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah side, the social movement “Jo Kawin Bocah” can realize the protection of the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), protection of the mind (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), protection of assets (ḥifẓ al-māl), and protection of offspring (ḥifẓ al-nasl). This research implies that increasing awareness about the negative consequences of early marriage is the key to the success of social movements.

Full textAbstract:
The challenges of cross-cultural understanding and communication as discussed by other papers in this issue, can be multiplied several times in reference to intercultural marriage. For a person involved in such a marriage, cross-cultural contacts are not simply interesting experiences from which one can retreat into one's house when saturated. Indeed, the "foreign" culture is there twenty-four hours a day. This cultural contact is also laden with emotion, both positively and negatively. Intercultural marriage also has a sense of permanence that most cross-cultural experience does not have. All of these factors, when used positively, can result in the highest possible adjustment and involvement in another culture. Thus, intercultural marriage has many inherent problems but also offers tremendous challenges and opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
Marriage organizations are an experienced social system, providing a system in which the overall super-building of civilization and success is built. With different individual regulations, the idea of marriage has different meanings, from sacred to legally binding unions. Overall, India is still seen by the world as a country where marriage has a rational and fundamentally sacred position. In any case, the adaptation of contemporary design has changed the general idea of marriage. Today, in our general public, we are changing from organized partnerships with love relationships to partnerships with same-sex marriages. You can feel it; Relationships are made in paradise. It is a notable saying. When the two meet and the marriage is over, this is recognized as the will of God. Marriage can be between similar statuses or ranks. Relationships within similar ranks mean that both children and young women have places with similar environments. A buried standing relationship means that young women and children come from different stations, some of which are lower.

Full textAbstract:
The law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriages annunciates that the success of marriages conducted must be by their religion and beliefs, in addition to being valid and approved by the state, therefore marriages must be approved by those invited. However, in reality, some people deviate from marriage registration requirements. The cause is not only lack of people's awareness to register a marriage, also driven by the difficulty to obtain permission to do polygamy, thus those who want to do polygamy prefer sirri polygamy. The awareness of how important the marriage registration is will only arise if in the future there is an interest in dealing with the law. These things encourage someone to ask for marriage isbat upon the sirri polygamy in the Religious Court. Therefore, marriage isbat upon Sirri polygamy will cause positive and negative effects in its implementation. To discuss the positive and negative effects of sirri polygamy marriage, the researcher uses normative juridical research methods with qualitative descriptive research analysis. The results showed that from a positive perspective, marriage is required for Sirri marriage to get a Legal Guarantee (Article 6 Paragraph 2 KHI). Since with the stipulation of Sirri polygamy, candidates of Sirri polygamy have a basis to get a marriage book (Article 7 Paragraph 1 KHI). As a result, there is an increase regarding the social status in the community that was once Sirri has now become official. Besides, the changes occur in the status of children as well as rights in shared assets and inheritance before the law. While from the negative side, if the Sirri polygamy is granted and/or the marriage is accepted, it means those who has deviated the law are approved and justified. The indirect impact is the assertion of values that must be issued by the provisions regarding the requirements of polygamy. Therefore, based on SEMA No. 3 of 2018, the Supreme Court no longer gives the permission to ratify Sirri polygamy.

Not all marriages achieve long-term success, often ending in divorce. However, many couples manage to sustain their marriages and achieve happiness. This literature review aims to identify the factors that contribute to the longevity of a marriage. The study employs a systematic literature review method, utilizing three electronic databases: Wiley Online Library, Semantic Scholar, and Scopus. The scientific literature reviewed includes articles published in the last five years (2019-2023) that meet predefined inclusion criteria. Ten selected articles were analyzed to identify key factors influencing marital longevity. The review identified five internal factors that contribute to a lasting marriage: 1) commitment, 2) communication, 3) spirituality, 4) conflict resolution strategies, and 5) other minor factors such as altruism, role sharing, and perseverance. Additionally, two external factors were found to be significant: 1) family support, and 2) the experience of other couples. These findings provide insights into the elements that support enduring marriages and may inform future research and interventions aimed at promoting marital stability.

In Indonesia, religious leaders are in a strategic position. Their existence can affect people's lives in various aspects, not least in the context of marriage. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of child marriages in Central Java rose sharply. Based on the background above, the questions are how religious leaders view this problem and what the roles to be performed in the context of prevention and treatment. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique is done by interview and documentation. The informants are administrators of two major religious organizations in Indonesia, namely NU and Muhammadiyah. The results showed that; First, the existence of religious organizations did not have a significant role in preventing and handling child marriage cases in Central Java. Secondly, the existence of religious organizations has no relevance to the high and low rate of child marriage in Central Java. Third, the existence of religious leaders is still seen as having authority in the community to support the success of the prevention and handling of child marriage programs

Mahadi: Indonesia Journal of Law 3, no. 01 (February 27, 2024): 01–09. http://dx.doi.org/10.32734/mah.v3i01.15451.
Full textAbstract:
In Article 1 of the Marriage Law, marriage reflects the spiritual and physical bond between a man and a woman with the aim of forming a happy and lasting family based on faith in the Almighty God. In legally valid marriages, the role of assets is crucial in building a household, both as individual and joint assets. Issues related to marital assets often arise, affecting the well-being and comfort within the marriage. Reasons for divorce include invalid marriages, domestic violence, neglect of responsibilities, and prolonged disputes. When both parties seek divorce, mediation is utilized as a means to resolve conflicts, guided by a mediator seeking resolution options. This study identifies factors contributing to the failure of mediation in resolving disputes over joint property. These factors include parties' knowledge, absence, cultural and character differences, reluctance to compromise, prolonged and complex conflicts, ill intentions, external influences, lack of understanding of rights and obligations, and materialistic tendencies. The success of mediation in the Medan Religious Courts depends on the mediator's ability, derived from knowledge, education, training, and experience, which serves as a tool to effectively assist parties in resolving their disputes.

This article has two parts, first part of the article deals with the importance of marriage in Islam in the light of Quran and Hadith. This part of article also elaborates the social importance of marriage for Muslim man and woman. The second part of this article deals with the law of compatibility (Kufu), its importance and the role it plays in the success of marriage. The law of compatibility emphasizes that before arranging marriage of girl compatibility between the boy and girl should be checked on the following terms: (1) Lineage (2) Islam (3) Religiosity (4) Wealth (5) profession. The basic objective of this law is to ensure equality in social status for the purpose of successful marriage and psychological balance. Therefore, this law has great role in the success of marriage if it is practiced, it may reduce the cases of divorce. The second part of this article also deals some other important points like, validity of marriage without the consideration of law of compatibility, misconception regarding the law of compatibility in Muslim society.

The objectives of this research are to find out and analyze the community's legal compliance with Act No. 16 of 2019 concerning the Provisions on the Marriage Age Limit and the inhibiting factors for the implementation of Act No. 16 of 2019 concerning the Provisions on the Marriage Age Limit as well as efforts to overcome obstacles to the implementation of Act. This study uses a sociological juridical approach, with descriptive research specifications. The results of this study are Community Legal Compliance with Act No. 16 of 2019 concerning Provisions on Marriage Age Limits, where it is known that public legal awareness of underage marriage is relatively low, where some of the people who already know these rules still register their children's marriages. Inhibiting factors include: First, there are still people who do not know the contents of the policy. Second, there are still people who do not know the benefits. The third is the lack of success of the goal of the law in question is to reduce the rate of marriage at a young age. Efforts to overcome for the prospective bride and groom who have not reached the age of 19 years, their parents/guardians are requested to apply for a Marriage Dispensation to the Religious Court in the area where they live.

The most important thing to monitor in registering marriages to the public is employee performance which will later become an indicator of the organization's success in carrying out its duties and obligations. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of employee performance in marriage registration services at the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques use interview, observation and documentation techniques which are linked to the theory of employee performance effectiveness according to Admosoeprapto (2016). The results of the research show that the performance of the employees of the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency can be said to be effective in meeting the needs of the community in marriage registration services. However, the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency, in terms of quantity of work, needs to increase the number of employees to make it easier for employees to serve the large number of marriage registration requests from the public every year.

The child's independence in pursuing ideals and realizing success for the future is a desire for parents and the country. This can be achieved when the child has carried out a good learning process that can be taken through the formal or informal level. However, the irony that occurs if a child's dream of becoming a person is useful for the future, religion, and the state must be cut off with what happens, such as marriages that are still not on time or underage marriages. This research aims to analyze underage marriages from the perspective of Islamic law and understand the benchmarks of legal awareness in society to minimize the occurrence of underage marriages and to know the implications of underage marriages. This study is library research using a qualitative approach. The results show that Marriage is a strong bond or mitsqon golidhon carried out by couples who have met the age limit or baligh, but marriages, carried out by someone who is underage must be based on a recommendation through a marriage dispensation issued by a religious court. Second, community indicators in realizing legal knowledge and understanding will form a stable legal attitude so that they can apply patterns of legal behavior. Third, the implications of underage marriage include the disruption of compulsory education, Fulfillment of subsistence, which is not optimal for the families, diversion of responsibility to parents because they have not been able to work properly, Reproductive health conditions are still vulnerable due to lack of good nutrition and give rise to poverty and vulnerability to divorce.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe article considers narratives and experiences of love marriage in the garment city of Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu, South India. As a booming centre of garment production, Tiruppur attracts a diverse migrant workforce of young men and women who have plenty of opportunity to fall in love and enter marriages of their own making. Based on long-term ethnographic research, the article explores what love marriages mean to those involved, how they are experienced and talked about, and how they shape postmarital lives. Case studies reveal that a discourse of loss of postmarital kin support is central to evaluations of love marriages by members of Tiruppur's labouring classes. Such marriages not only flout parental authority and often cross caste and religious boundaries, but they also jeopardize the much-needed kin support youngsters require to fulfil aspirations of mobility, entrepreneurship, and success in a post-liberalization environment. It is argued that critical evaluations of love marriages not only disrupt modernist assumptions of linear transformations in marital practices, but they also constitute a broader critique of the neoliberal celebration of the ‘individual’ while reaffirming the continued importance of caste endogamy, parental involvement, and kin support to success in India's post-reform economy.

Full textAbstract:
The anthropological record indicates that approximately 85 per cent of human societies have permitted men to have more than one wife (polygynous marriage), and both empirical and evolutionary considerations suggest that large absolute differences in wealth should favour more polygynous marriages. Yet, monogamous marriage has spread across Europe, and more recently across the globe, even as absolute wealth differences have expanded. Here, we develop and explore the hypothesis that the norms and institutions that compose the modern package of monogamous marriage have been favoured by cultural evolution because of their group-beneficial effects—promoting success in inter-group competition. In suppressing intrasexual competition and reducing the size of the pool of unmarried men, normative monogamy reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud, as well as decreasing personal abuses. By assuaging the competition for younger brides, normative monogamy decreases (i) the spousal age gap, (ii) fertility, and (iii) gender inequality. By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment and economic productivity. By increasing the relatedness within households, normative monogamy reduces intra-household conflict, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death and homicide. These predictions are tested using converging lines of evidence from across the human sciences.

Full textAbstract:
What accounts for the endurance of forced marriage (kahwin paksa) narratives in Malaysian public culture? How does one explain the ways popular fascination with forced marriage relate to assumptions about heteronormative institutions and practices? In a society where most who enter into marriages do so based on individual choice, the enduring popularity of forced marriage as a melodramatic trope in fictional love stories suggests an ambivalence about modernity and egalitarianism. This ambivalence is further excavated by illuminating the intertextual engagement by readers, publishers and booksellers of Malay romantic fiction with a mediated discourse on intimacy and cultural practices. This article finds that forced marriage in the intimate publics of Malay romance is delivered as a kind of melodramatic mode, a storytelling strategy to solve practical problems of experience. Intertextual narratives of pain and struggle cast light on ‘redha’ (submission to God’s will) and ‘sabar’ (patience), emotional virtues that are mobilised during personal hardship and the challenge of maintaining successful marital relations. I argue that ‘redha’ and ‘sabar’ serve as important linchpins for the reproduction of heteronormative institutions and wifely obedience (taat). This article also demonstrates the ways texts are interwoven in the narratives about gender roles, intimacy, and marital success (or lack thereof) and how they relate to the modes of romantic melodrama.

AbstractIn May 2017, Taiwan's Constitutional Court reached a landmark decision that marriage should be opened to same-sex couples within two years, making Taiwan potentially the first country in Asia to realize marriage equality. How can we explain the success of the LGBT movement here? I argue that explanations based on cultural proclivity, public opinion, and linkages to world society, are inadequate. This article adopts a “political process” explanation by looking at changes in the political context and how they facilitate the movement for marriage equality. I maintain that electoral system reform in 2008, the eruption of the Sunflower Movement in 2014, and the electoral victory of the Democratic Progressive Party in 2016, stimulated Taiwan's LGBT mobilization, allowing it to eventually overcome opposition from the church-based countermovement.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Spouses exhibit two kinds of behaviours: protective and transgressive. Protective acts are those aiming to overcome current problems, leading to preserving some balance. Transgressive acts are deliberately overstepping everyday marital reality and doing new things in new ways. They lead to changing the relation with the hope of improving it, but also create the risk of deterioration. The more transgressive behaviours spouses exhibit, the more chances they have to get to know each other and experience the joy of being part of a union. Transgressive tendencies stem from a network personality structure and consist of five psychons: cognitive, instrumental, motivational, emotional, and personal. The success of a marriage is the effect of a specific form of transgressive behaviours in marriage exhibited by both spouses, which is recognizing difficulties as they appear, finding their sources, and taking steps together to overcome them.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore: How do changes in the role of the husband affect the marriage of a woman entrepreneur? How do changes in the marriage affect the woman entrepreneur and her relationship with her business? Design/methodology/approach – A novel theoretical approach based on marriage contract theory, gender role ideology and psychological contracts was used. Qualitative methodology included analysis of multiple cases based on rich interview data gathered from 12 Scandinavian couples. Findings – Research revealed that the pattern of dominance between the husband and wife, the gender role ideologies of the two spouses, and the interaction between this pattern and the gender role ideologies, and overall level of marital harmony were key determinants of husbands’ spousal support. Research limitations/implications – Sample size and geographical limitations. Future research: exploring other cultural settings, further application of marriage and psychological contracts in female entrepreneurship; studies of the impact areas of the husband in the wife’s business – also from the perspective of implicit contracts. Practical implications – Research sheds light on how women run their businesses and how the changing roles of the spouse alter marriage dynamics and influence the wife-business relationship. Social implications – Findings benefit female entrepreneurs considering the launch of a business, couples in which the wife currently owns a business, state and governmental policymakers, business consultants, and entrepreneurship instructors. These findings can help couples better prepare for the demands of entrepreneurship. Originality/value – For scholars: expanded understanding of the work-family interface of female entrepreneurs via novel theoretical approach.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the study is the ratio of indicators of success in career and interpersonal relationships of spouses in patriarchal and egalitarian families. The purpose of the study was to determine the direction and nature of changes in marital relations in situations of career growth of one of the spouses. To conduct the study, we used: the questionnaire "Communication in the family" (Yu.E. Alyoshina, L.Ya. Gozman, E.M. Dubovskaya), the methodology "Role expectations and claims in marriage" (A.N. Volkova), the methodology "Distribution of roles in the family" (Yu.E. Alyoshina, L.Ya. Gozman, E.M. Dubovskaya), a test questionnaire of satisfaction with marriage (V.V. Stolin, G.P. Butenko, T.L. Romanova, Faculty of Psychology, Moscow State University), the method "Life Line" Golovakha E.I., Kronik A.A., adapted for the purposes of the study - measuring attitudes to career growth, methods of qualitative and quantitative data processing were also used. The sample of the study is represented by a group of men and women aged 35 to 40 years, in the number of 12 people who have been married for 10-15 years. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that traditional patriarchal families are not characterized by high social activity, focus on career development of both spouses, a high level of trusting communication and mutual understanding. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that there are a large number of correlations between various spheres of family relations, satisfaction with marriage and career success. Thus, the data obtained will increase the level of consistency of family values and the role adequacy of spouses, which will reduce the number of conflicts arising in the family and will contribute to the harmonization of family relations and thereby increase the level of satisfaction with marriage by spouses.

There have been many retrospective analyses written about the marriage-equality movement since the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling that made marriages between people of the same sex legal in all 50 states. Most attribute that triumph to a stunningly swift turnaround in public comfort with and approval of same-sex relationships. However, public opinion data indicates that this narrative is inaccurate. In 2015, 51% of General Social Survey respondents declared that they found sexual relationships between people of the same sex to be “wrong” at least “some of the time.” Nevertheless, at the same time, 56% of respondents affirmed that people of the same sex ought to have the legal right to marry. This dissonance suggests that the most common narrative about the success of the movement misses something crucial about how political persuasion happened in this case, as well as the way that political persuasion happens in general. In this article, I show that the massive shift in support for same-sex marriage was likely not the result of large majorities changing their underlying attitudes regarding gay sexual relationships, but was instead the result of activists inserting new criteria for evaluating same-sex marriage into popular political discourse by consistently using resonant arguments. These arguments reframed the political stakes, changed the public meaning of the marriage debate, and altered the decisional context in which people determine their policy preferences.

Full textAbstract:
This article scrutinizes the recently postulated link between the European Marriage Pattern (EMP) and economic success. Multivariate analysis of 4,705 demographic observations, covering women's marriage age, female lifetime celibacy, and household complexity in 39 European countries, shows that the most extreme manifestations of the EMP were associated with economic stagnation rather than growth. There is no evidence that the EMP improved economic performance by empowering women, increasing human capital investment, adjusting population to economic trends, or sustaining beneficial cultural norms. European economic success was not caused by the EMP and its sources must therefore be sought in other factors.

Abstract In contemporary South Africa the nuclear family, made up of a husband and wife with two or three children living in a suburban area, is considered a social ideal and symbol of social and economic success. In Pentecostal Charismatic Churches the nuclear family is also held up as a symbol of success and as a sign of spiritual favour and blessing. Yet many young professional women who are members of Pentecostal Charismatic Churches struggle to find suitable husbands and marry. This paper examines why these women encounter these difficulties and how the Pentecostal Charismatic Churches in this study are opening up new social spaces in which singleness is an acceptable social state. In so doing the paper shows the complex relationship between weddings, sexuality, and economics in the life of young upwardly mobile Pentecostal Charismatic Christians.

Full textAbstract:
The present study provides support for the hypothesis that similarities and differences in cognitive style could mediate the success of a marital relationship. Forty-five married couples, whose scores on the Marital Views Survey indicated they were satisfied in their marriage, independently completed the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI; Kirton, 1976) to determine their cognitive style (adaptor or innovator). Both members of 45 divorced couples also completed the KAI. Significantly more adaptor/adaptor dyads (32/45, i.e., 71%) were found among married couples than in the divorced sample, suggesting that the preference for structure characteristic of spouses in adaptor/adaptor pairings enables them to produce mutually beneficial approaches to change and solutions to problems in their marriages. The KAI may be valuable in the prospective determination of marital compatibility, and in therapy protocols for couples with marital difficulties.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous initiatives, including one in the Philippines, have been developed around the world to support the demand to end child marriage. Child marriage is widely practiced in indigenous and Muslim communities in the Philippines, but Republic Act No. 11596, known as the "Prohibition of Child Marriage Law," made it illegal in January 2022. Several actors, including youth groups in Muslim Mindanao, are seen as participants in this great success. This study aims to investigate the engagements and contributions of two Bangsamoro youth civil society organizations (CSOs) in this advocacy to recognize youth participation. Also, this study uses an institutional approach to seek and identify the enabling environment for youth participation in their quest to become active agents of positive change. Qualitative approaches are used to collect data from CSO youth members and other key informants. The findings imply that institutionalizing participation venues and the availability of initiatives funded by diverse donors promote robust youth engagement. Respondents also identified community involvement and school-based leadership development as motivators for joining and forming organizations. Networks among Bangsamoro youth groups encourage involvement and provide support in the pursuit of their advocacy. Intergenerational differences, on the other hand, limit youth engagement.

Introduction. The relevance of the study of cross-cultural marriages in Russia and Iran is due to the fact that Russia and Iran are characterized by both attention to the observance of cultural needs and the desire for innovative development. These contradictory manifestations are also manifested in family and marriage relations. There is a shortage of empirical studies that reflect the range of opinions of various social strata in Russia and Iran, allowing a comparative analysis of attitudes towards cross-cultural marriages to determine the prospects for state policy to support the institution of marriage in a cross-cultural environment. The purpose of the public research is to analyze the relationship with cross-cultural marriages in Russia and Iran against the background of the proposed family model. Materials and Methods. Sociological research is carried out by the method of a quantitative survey. 153 people were interviewed in total, urban residents of Russia and Iran aged 18 to 60 who are in cross-cultural marriages or an interethnic, interfaith environment. To analyze the results, descriptive statistics methods, frequency distributions, and a tabular data visualization method were used. Results. The survey results have revealed the presence of different ideas about the desired model of family and marriage both in Iran and Russia (both traditional and modern). The study has revealed a friendly attitude towards interethnic marriages in both countries (primarily for urban residents). In many ways, the success of cross-cultural marriages is determined by the attitude of relatives and the local community towards them. Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained can be used to develop strategies for the development of socio-cultural interaction between Russia and Iran. It is essential to consider the study’s conclusions when supporting cross-cultural families in the process of adaptation and acquaintance with the norms, traditions, and customs of a new culture spouse. It is necessary to conduct a study on a more representative sample to assess the differentiation and determinants of people’s opinions in interethnic marriages living in Iran and Russia.

Full textAbstract:
Pepsi had been competing strongly against Coke throughout the world. In 1993, to gain an upper hand in a new market, Pepsi established a bottling plant in cooperation with the local government in Sichuan, an inland province of China. Sichuan Pepsi's business was a big success. The troubles, however, soon started. Sichuan Pepsi refused to follow the policy of allocating separate sales areas for each bottler. It compelled Pepsi China to reduce the price of the concentrate and was eager to produce beverages with new brands to compete with Pepsi. Investigations showed that the management of Sichuan Pepsi took many actions which went against its agreement with Pepsi. The company had transformed from a state-owned enterprise to a company controlled by individuals who formed the top management of Sichuan Pepsi. Both the local government and Pepsi China had lost control of this new cooperative. This case illustrates a special kind of risk in joint ventures in transitional economies: the privatization of the local enterprise partner through some form of management buyout. This risk is further complicated by the changing relationship between the government and enterprises in China, the guanxi-dominated institutional environment and continuous economic reform characterized by 'crossing the river by feeling each stone' which refers to Deng Xiaoping's policy of moving ahead with economic reforms slowly and pragmatically. In order to succeed in such an environment, a firm must be prepared to face the 'crouching tiger, hidden dragon'.

Mendana Raya Village is one of 16 villages in Keruak District, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The obstacle that is often faced by Mendana Raya Village is the lack of knowledge about the age limit that is allowed to marry or the Marriage Age Maturity (PUP). So far, efforts have been made to make the Mendana Raya Village community aware of reducing the number of early marriages through lectures. An alternative method that researchers use to reduce the number of early marriages in Mendana Raya Village is to conduct counseling with the addition of several methods so that adults and children can understand them well. Some of the methods that the service uses are lectures, question and answer questions with prizes and discussions. The product of this counseling cannot be seen directly because it is knowledge, behavior and decisions between individuals. To find out the level of success of the counseling that was carried out, the servant conducted a short interview regarding Marriage Age Maturity to children and parents. The result after counseling is an increase in understanding and knowledge of each resident of Mendana Raya Village.

This research studies the life experience of interfaith marriage between Christian and Muslem. It aims to answer the following questions: (1) Do religious differences in interfaith marriage partners affect the success of building a family? (2) What are the factors that determine the success of building a family in interfaith couples? This research is qualitative study. The data were collected through the depth interview which were directly done face to face, and indirect interview through WhatsApp and Google Form. Forum Group Discussion was done also with some students who live in the interfaith marriage family. The respondents are cathegorized into the followings: (1) those living in the interfaith marriage between Christian and Muslem, (2) those who converted to other religions following that of the partners, (3) those who converted to the religion of the partners but then reconverted to their previous religions, (4) the parents of the children who do interfaith marriage, and (5) the children who live in the family with interfaith marriage. The results indicate that the difference of religion in the family is not the significant factor which determines the harmonious life in the family. Otherwise, tolerance, mutual concern, and the responsible attitude of each family member in their respective duties and roles are the most important factors. Therefore, the civil and religious laws which prohibit the interfaith marriage are actually not relevant. The civil law does not have authority to interfere the private sectors of family life. Then, religious law which prohibits the interfaith marriage must be revied and understood in its context to strive for the salvation of the religious people.

In post-Soviet Kazakhstan, mobile pastoralism is now a task managed not by collective farms but by individual households: extended networks of kin band together to create flocks, and poor families trade labour for sustenance and a share of the flock’s live offspring. The success of these sheep-herding camps turns on their integrity as domestic units: the camp cannot function without the tasks customarily performed by women, yet relations of blood or marriage remain the only social institutions capable of mediating the exchange of domestic labour. This paper contrasts elaborate marriage ceremonies with more informal unions in which the primary desire is the presence of a woman’s labour. These marriages—unregistered, undertaken from necessity and celebrated by little more than a meal and perhaps a bottle of vodka for drinking toasts—index the conflicts and contradictions implicit in domestic labour being simultaneously fundamental to the household’s economic life and yet treated as a form of labour not to be honourably alienated from the family.

Full textAbstract:
Marriage as a social institution has undergone changes in structure in contemporary Nigeria. Whether in simple or complex societies, social change is a universal phenomenon. In most cultural groups in indigenous Nigeria, marriage is usually an arrangement between two individuals. As a result there is pressure on the spouses to make the marriage a success bearing in mind the fact that any problem will usually affect both families and strain the otherwise cordial relationship between them. Again, polygyny commonly known as polygamy is the most practiced marriage system. However, the marriage structure in Nigeria today has not been the same. It is found in the name of modernization or civilization that a girl and a boy may decide to marry away from their parents’ place of residence and without their consent. Monogamous marriage is now increasingly encouraged and practiced. The paper thus examines the extent of social change in the Nigerian marriage structure.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that 'sack posset', a treasured beverage that was the culinary pinnacle of seventeenth-century wedding celebrations, was vital to the rituals and emotions of early modern marriage; its consumption sealed a marriage's contractual formation and it was essential in forging lusty nuptial affections and the procreative fortunes of newlywed couples. Drawing on early modern recipe books, dietetic and medical knowledge, and agricultural practices, sack posset's 'foodway' is reconstructed for the first time, from grazing pastures to the marriage bed. In so doing it reveals an extended and multispecies material community of plants, animals and culinary expertise that was essential to a wedding day's success, and to its affective power. By uncovering the embodied co-dependencies of early modern bodies and their environments, the article calls for a reappraisal of anthropocentric models of 'emotional communities' and offers a new framework for recognising their material and multispecies complexity.

Full textAbstract:
Despite growing numbers and increased research attention, few empirical studies have focused on copreneurial family businesses, and hardly any guidelines exist on how these couples should manage their marriage and business relationships. Against this background the primary objective of this study was to empirically assess the influence of selected structural-based factors on the effectiveness of South African copreneurships. The teamwork literature proposes that the success of a team depends on how the team is structured or set up, but the empirical findings of this study demonstrate that elements of structure are related to certain measures of success but not to others. More specifically, the results suggest that the success of a marriage between copreneurs is not influenced by the success of the business, but that the more structural elements such as Leadership, Needs alignment and Role clarity are in place, the more satisfied the spouses are likely to be with both their business and their marital relationship.

Full textAbstract:
From the second half of the eleventh century, medieval Latin theologians and canonists wrestled with a number of questions related to sexual relations and marriage. Marriage is, characteristically, one of the avenues by which a society—especially a religious or holy community— attempts to define its boundaries. In this effort church authorities had, for centuries, proscribed both marriage and sexual relations between Jews and Christians. They had sought control over marital relations among Christian spouses by proscribing sexual contact before receiving communion, during Lent, or during a woman's pregnancy or menstrual cycle. They had also attempted to eliminate marriage among clergy, with occasional success, as part of an effort to define and control marital unions more effectively.

Evolutionary psychologists have documented a widespread female preference for men of high status and resources, and evidence from several populations suggests that this preference has real effects on marriage success. Here, we show that in the US population of 1910, socioeconomic status (SES) had a positive effect on men's chances of marrying. We also test a further prediction from the biological markets theory, namely that where the local sex ratio produces an oversupply of men, women will be able to drive a harder bargain. As the sex ratio of the states increases, the effect of SES on marriage success becomes stronger, indicating increased competition between men and an increased ability to choose on the part of women.

Sakinah family guidance in the form of counseling for families who are deep in trouble at BP4, should be implemented in order to create a sakinah family and avoid divorce in particular as well as improve the resolution of marriage cases at BP4 as an increase in the function of BP4 as a Marriage Advisory agency. The success rate of sakinah family coaching, which is shown in the success of reconciling clients, is still very minimal and less than optimal. Constraints faced in coaching sakinah families include the strong willingness of clients to divorce and institutions with minimal funding. As a suggestion, the results of the research include: the Ministry of Religion should provide special funds for the operation of the BP4 institution, increase the number of Koneselor experts from various fields and coordinate with the Court to direct it to BP4 before processing. As well as making efforts to increase public awareness such as socialization on the importance of improving the quality of marriage.

Early marriage in Indonesia is a problem that is not only related to marriage law but also related to issues of child protection and human rights. The Parole and Probation Office as an institution that also plays a role in handling Juveniles involved with the law shows its involvement and collaborates with the Women's Empowerment Service, Child Protection, Population Control and Family Planning (DP3AP2KB). Central Java created a program to prevent child marriage called Jo Kawin Bocah, but not all teenagers know about the program. The aim of conducting outreach is to reduce the rate of early marriage among Indonesian children and disseminate information related to the program. The research method consists of counseling and field practice. Reducing the rate of early marriage, especially in communities with low levels of education, is one movement to realize the success of the program.

BACKGROUND: Early marriage is subject to the loss of crucial moments in adolescence. Therefore, the current research focuses on how adolescents consider early marriage. AIM: This study aimed to explore adolescents’ perspectives on small islands regarding early marriage. METHOD: In this case, the perspective of eight adolescents as an actor and non-actor of early marriage and the influence of society on their perspectives was revealed using a phenomenological design. Domain analysis was used to explain facts of the sub-themes that appeared in the adolescent’s minds while responding to early marriage. RESULTS: The results showed that some adolescents considered early marriage an obstacle to success, depriving them of opportunities to enjoy adolescence. Meanwhile, others argued that it saves them from promiscuity, a form of devotion to their parents, and an acceptance of social norms by communities in the archipelago. CONCLUSIONS: The perspectives imply the need to form support groups such as adolescent role models, providers, parents, and community leaders that straighten their perspective on early marriage in island areas.

Full textAbstract:
Summary.This study examines the reproductive success of men and women in rural Ethiopia as a function of their marital status, specifically by comparing polygamously and monogamously married individuals. In line with predictions from evolutionary theory, polygamy is beneficial to male reproductive success (i.e. producing larger numbers of surviving offspring). The success of polygamously married females depends on wife rank: the first wives of polygamous husbands do better than monogamously married women and much better than second or third wives. These effects are mirrored in child nutritional status: the children of second and third wives have lower weight for height. Due to potential, largely unmeasurable differences in marriageability (quality) between individuals, it was not possible to support a model of either resource-holding polygyny combined with female choice or female coercion into unwanted marriages. First wives of polygamously married men marry at a younger age and attract a higher brideprice, suggesting that both the males and females in the marriage are likely to be of higher quality (due to wealth, family status or some other factor such as beauty). Unions that end up monogamous are likely to be between slightly lower quality individuals; and second and third wives, who marry at the oldest ages and attract the lowest brideprice, may be ‘making the best of a bad job’. The relatively long gap between first and second marriages may mean that first wives of highly marriageable males can enjoy considerable reproductive success before their husbands marry again.

The quality of marital communication was determined on the basis of the results of the Communication in Marriage Questionnaire by M. Kaźmierczak and M. Plopa, which presents it in terms of support, commitment and depreciation. Spouses with a higher level of satisfaction with their relationship are characterized by a higher quality of communication, especially in terms of mutual commitment and support in everyday life of their marriage.

The Article concludes with an examination of a recent draft law which—if successful—will open marriage to same sex couples. While its chances for success are extremely slim, this Article argues that same sex marriage will eventually be introduced in Germany.

The Dakar Conference of 2000 evaluated development in attaining Universal Primary Education (UPE) within the continent of African. An EFA target was established that is eradicating gender inequality in primary schools within the year 2005 and by 2015 be able to attain gender impartiality.Despite all efforts by governments, retention of pupils in primary schools is a major challenge to most governments in the world and in sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Among other social –cultural factors, early marriage among primary school going learners have had a negative impact on the Free Primary Education policy since its re-introduction in 2003 in Kenya. The country faces 23% early marriage among girls and might be a contributor factor in low learner retention in the country especially in Turkana County which has so far had the lowest retention in the county with 7.8% compared to 79.6% nationally. The purpose of this study was to have an exploratory factor analysis to understand why this situation has been experienced within the FPE policy in Kenya. The findings establishedthat girls are married early by young and old men who can afford paying dowry, payment of dowry has driven many girls to early marriage, and majority of early marriages are done according to the traditions of the community. It concluded that early marriage is predominant among the pastoralist communities in ASAL regions in Kenya and has had tremendous influence on learner retention in primary school education contributing negatively to the implementation and success of FPE policy.

Of 2347 marriages celebrated between 1871 and 1977, 5·15% were between relatives (up to third degree). The population’s inbreeding coefficient was above the Spanish average after 1890, and levels were high during the first part of the 20th century. A possible underestimation of inbreeding coefficients is attributed to the elevated frequency of extramarital births occurring in the Los Nogales population (13·47%). The structures of consanguineous matings, expressed as C22/C33 and C33/C44, turned out to be 0·86 and 0·82 respectively. Regarding migration, before 1920 consanguinity increased, but net migration was negative. In the period 1920–1929 consanguinity began to decrease, prior to maximum emigration. As for reproductive success, information from 1503 reconstituted families shows that complete fertility was slightly higher among consanguineous families despite a greater infant mortality. Lower infertility in consanguineous matings, as well as lower age at marriage and first maternity, could explain the above results.
