Carda, Jeanelle Marie. "Wiccan Marriage and American Marriage Law: Interactions." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/rs_theses/17.

Full text

Abstract:

This project considers the ways in which Wiccan marriage and American marriage law interact with each other. The thesis examines certain aspects of the history of 20th-century American marriage law, the concurrent development of contemporary marriage ritual in Wicca, developing problems in this area, and possible solutions. In particular, the project focuses on the recognition of religious groups and their officials as they are authorized by state and federal law to perform marriages and how this process has affected Wiccan ritual.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as representações da conjugalidade no teatro brasileiro, através das peças Intimidade Indecente, de Leilah Assumpção, e Batalha de arroz num ringue para dois, de Mauro Rasi. Acreditando que o teatro, assim como as diversas formas de mídia, é responsável não apenas por ditar comportamentos e padrões sociais, mas também por representá-los, em uma relação de retroalimentação, as peças citadas são analisadas e seus conteúdos confrontados com os dados levantados através da pesquisa bibliográfica acerca de temas referentes à conjugalidade contemporânea, tais como divórcio, sexualidade e papéis de gênero.
The present work intends to analyze the representations of marriage and intimacy in the brazilian theatre through the plays Intimidade Indecente, by Leilah Assumpção, and Batalha de arroz num ringue para dois, by Mauro Rasi. We believe that theatre, as other kinds of media, is responsible not only for the influence of behaviors and social models, but also for representing them, in a feedback relationship. In that sense, we analyze these plays and confront their contents with the results obtained from the bibliographic research of some topics related with modern intimacy, such as divorce, sexuality and roles of genre.

Thomson, Andrea. "Marriage and marriage breakdown in late twentieth-century Scotland." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5764/.

Full text

Abstract:

Focussing on Scotland, this thesis adds a new perspective to the existing discussion surrounding marriage and marriage breakdown in the late twentieth century. It is the lived reality of marriage and marriage breakdown which is a key focus, using oral history and a range of contemporary and archival source materials. Whilst a renewed discursive emphasis on the 'companionate marriage' in the immediate post-war period is evident, in line with the social reconstruction ethos of the period, there existed alongside such enthusiasm a number of alternative, and often conflicting, contemporary discourses. With significant implications for marriage and family relations, sociologists and historians identify a further profound discursive shift as occurring during the 1970s, emphasising the increased availability of contraception, the emergence of second-wave feminism in Britain and landmark equality legislation as crucial factors intertwined with this. Perceived advances in terms of both mainstream ideology and legislation, including, for example, a revived feminist consciousness and the 1976 Divorce (Scotland) Act, did not influence marriage in a discursive vacuum but instead are likely to have integrated and competed not only with generic ideals regarding appropriate gender roles but also embedded local patterns of gender relations. Oral history is a particularly appropriate methodology with which to address this topic as it permits an otherwise unattainable insight into the experience of day-to-day life. Additional source materials drawn on include parliamentary, ecclesiastical and sociological commentary.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the development of the international marriage business in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, and the experiences of female participants from China, South Korea, and the Philippines who married through this system and currently live in Japan. The study treats these women as active female migrants and contributes to a gendered understanding of the process of contemporary migration. The thesis argues for an acknowledgement of the way in which the international marriage business served the purposes of marriage and migration for women in male dominant and economically stratified societies in Asia, without downplaying the fact that the same system and its ideology oppresses women. The study argues that, for these women, participation in international marriage by introduction was about marriage and migration. Analysis of the intricate sites of marriage and migration was thus critical to understanding their experiences. The thesis also argues for recognition of the diverse and complex experiences of the women participants. Part I of this study investigates the macro-economic, social and political factors that influenced development of the international marriage business in Japan. It analyses representations of international introduction marriage and its female participants, and maps the ways in which patriarchal gender ideology in the international marriage business system intersects with global capitalism, and other hegemonic power relations operating in contemporary Japan. Part II examines the marriage and migration experiences of 45 women. The section identifies conflicts faced by the women and examines processes of negotiation inside and outside the family domain. It investigates the extent of the women's agency in their decision to many and live in a foreign country, covering interconnected arenas of marriage, family, paid work, involvement in women's groups and questions of legal citizenship. The women's narratives demonstrate the importance of articulating a structurally embedded analysis with active female agency in the study of international marriage migration.

Ohlsson, Sofi. "Marriage in Fashion? : Trend Reversal in Marriage Formation in Sweden." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Sociologiska institutionen, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-60091.

Full text

Abstract:

Sweden has seen a reversal in marriage trends, from mainly declining marriage rates since the 1960s to increasing rates from 1998 and onwards. By applying event-history techniques to Swedish register data, this study examines whether the trend reversal is related to compositional changes in various socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the population, with special focus on childbearing. Only first marriages of women are studied as these largely represent the general marriage trends. The results show that the trend reversal only partly can be ascribed to compositional changes, more specifically to changes in labor-market attachment and childbearing. Thus, there is evidence of a new marriage trend in Sweden that does not conform very well to that of generally declining marriage rates as is often depicted in demographic literature. Furthermore, there is evidence of pro-cyclical marriage and childbearing trends. These patterns are especially interesting because Sweden is a country that in many aspects has been a forerunner in the development of new trends in family-demographic behavior and a country where childbearing and marriage are not necessarily seen as very closely interrelated.

Full text

Abstract:

Cooperative marriage is a heterosexual marriage negotiated and performed by a lala (a woman with same-sex desire) and a gay man. Building on growing debates on cooperative marriage within the tongzhi community and on intensifying media and academic attention, this thesis presents an empirical investigation of how gay men and lalas understand their experiences while in cooperative marriage. The study is based on in-depth interviews, participant observation and focus group interviews of twenty-two gay men and lalas in cooperative marriage distributed across five cities in China: Beijing, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Foshan. Among the questions addressed are: Why do gay men and lalas opt for this particular type of marriage? What are the lived experiences of sexual minorities facing cultural and institutional discrimination in China? What are the main living strategies and styles they adopt to cope with such discrimination? The study also explores different ways of relating to others and some novel intimate practices emerging. It is shown that, in general, these are not in harmony with the heteronormative values that are dominating society today. The new ways and practices are therefore challenging criticism from liberal rights activists, particularly with regard to issues such as coming out. I identify four types of orientations of gay men and lalas towards cooperative marriage: familial, individual, pragmatic, and idealistic. These reveal how gay men and lalas understand their relations to other main players in their lives and strategize accordingly. Among the characteristics playing key roles in their decision making are gender, being the single child of the family and co-residence with the parents in the same city (local vs. non-local). It is shown that the lives of gay men and lalas in cooperative marriage are being complicated by the need to negotiate multiple relationships, e.g., with the marital partner, the same-sex partner, the marital partner’s partner, the natal family, the in-laws, and the gay community around. I also theorize on the major types of politics of intimate relationships engaged in by gay men and lalas as they craft their living spaces while in cooperative marriage. Finally, I demonstrate that cooperative marriage has led to a new sub-cultural tongzhi movement where gay men and lalas build on the rapport they have developed with each other; e.g., they share information and experiences while participating in semi-open public discussions and matchmaking events. This is leading to emergent types of new ethics within the community which have critically challenged the stereo types and dominant narratives on tongzhi strategizing.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: William A. Gamson
In 2006, Mariane Valverde announced the birth of what she called, “a new type in the history of sexuality” (155), the Respectable Same-Sex Couple. This work analyzes newspaper coverage of same-sex couples during the Massachusetts campaign for marriage equality to explore the content of and contours around that new socio-sexual category. The processes involved in the incorporation of lesbians and gay men into the governing relations of American society are used to explain the development of this type, and its replacement of the pathological Homosexual. The manufacture of respectability by movement activists is explored via the selection of “public face couples” as a framing strategy that links the lives of these couples to marriage itself and the hardships they suffer due to their inability to marry. The respectability of these couples and their incorporation as economic citizens is also linked to representations of professional status, upward mobility, economic success, and the creation of identity-based markets through entrepreneurial and consumptive practices. Boundaries around this respectability are evident in stories of failure, either to remain together as couples or to act in accordance with marital normative standards, while the boundaries between Heterosexuality and Homosexuality, and among and between same-sex and different-sex couples, are also being re-drawn as marriage becomes available. The broader historical transformation of lesbian and gay life is discusses in the development of new life-scripts becoming available. While these transformations have led to greater possibilities for the living of gay and lesbian lives, the absorption of these lives into governing relations also erases and expels other queer life practices and reinforces other forms of social inequality and injustice

Abstract:

The Catholic Church has long proclaimed the importance of pre-marriage education for the benefit of spouses and of society. It requires that education on the Rite of Marriage be part of the immediate phase of pre-marriage education so that the bridegroom and bride may receive greater benefit from the celebration of the sacrament. The terms ‘sacrament’ and ‘covenant’, which are central to the Church’s teaching on marriage, lack meaning for many Catholics and particularly for the young. The current emphasis on New Evangelization includes a call to find new ways to speak to an increasingly secular society. One challenge facing the Church as it seeks to clarify the meaning of marriage is to develop a new model of pre-marriage education which communicates the Church’s teaching on sacrament and covenant in a manner which speaks clearly and effectively to the culture of today. This thesis develops a new model of pre-marriage education using the method of liturgical theology to identify the fundamental official meanings (theology) of the Rite of Marriage and to compare those meanings with the meanings couples derive from the experience of the rite. This study is limited to the Catholic Rite of Marriage as it is enacted within the Australian context.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative study investigated how religion contributes to or strengthens strong African American marriages. This study was conducted within the family strengths framework. In order to develop an in-depth understanding of how religion contributed to their marriages, five couples who talked extensively about religion in their marriage were selected out of the total sample of 39 couples and were presented as case studies. Six themes emerged across all five case studies: couples consistently practiced their religion, religion was the foundation of the marriage, religion strengthened personal growth, couples had exemplars for a strong marriage, couples turned to religion during difficult times, and religion transcends race. These findings indicate that these couples practiced their religion in all aspects of their lives. The study provides an explanation of why a paradox may exist within the African American community in terms of religion and divorce. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter one describes who the Yawo people are; how they became involved in slave trade and acquired the Arabs' religion, Islam; and how they entered Malawi from their original home. The introduction of Christianity into Malawi is described. While the Protestants were the first to introduce Christianity into Malawi, it was the White Fathers, as far as the Catholicism is concerned, who initiated the work of evangelization there, soon followed by the Montfort Fathers. Chapter two analyses the reality of marriage according to the Yawo's world view. Yawo society is matrilineal, uxorilocal and matrilocal, founded on the most important kinship relationship between the sister and the brother who eventually becomes the maternal uncle to the sister's children. The kinship relationship between maternal uncle and the sister's children is another feature with its own importance in the Yawo society. The sisters and their eldest brother form the nucleus and basis of the Yawo village community, creating a sorority-group under the brother's charge; their marriages come under the brother's guardianship. This function is by no manner of means surrendered to the husband who is accepted into the village merely as a worker in the sense of a begetter of children for the increase of the sorority-group. The Yawo progressive marriage comes into being through a long dynamic process with three main stages. Chapter three assumes the responsibility of identifying one problem area. It is shown that the very progressivity of the Yawo marriage already constitutes a problem, in that the traditional theology regards the first stage or the phase of acceptability as nothing less than concubinage, despite the fact that the people themselves recognize it as a valid procedure for the commencement of marriage. Progressive marriage is believed to go counter to the teaching on the absolute inseparability of the contract and sacrament. This chapter attempts to show that the problem may simply be a cultural rather than an evangelical one, in view of the fact that the separability of contract and sacrament seems to have been taught by a considerable number of theologians in the Church and that the canonical form was employed in the formation of Christian marriage. Chapter four aims at discovering whether the local African magisterium of Malawi and the African local magisterium in general together with their theologians have been able to identify the problem of the progressivity of the African marriage and, if so, what action has been taken to wrestle with the situation. It may be affirmed that the majority of the episcopal conferences seem to indicate that they have been able to identify it and have taken action to address it, albeit only by way of statements and recommendations. In Chapter five, we try to search for the possibility of an African local theology of marriage, at least in one of its aspects. Our first task will be the attempt to identify the gospel core with which culture is supposed to confirm. Then, we will investigate the possible values of which the progressive marriage may be in possession. However, inculturation is also dependent upon the attitudes of the evangelizers who can bring it about. We will therefore try to examine what these attitudes may be. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:

In 2005, following the deaths of several marriage migrants known as â mail-order bridesâ , the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act was created. Designed to regulate the international matchmaking industry and provide women with the information to make informed, safe decisions about their future partnership in an attempt to decrease instances of violence, this law was the result of an increase in awareness, collaboration between interested parties, and incorporation into a broader bill. For years, marriage brokers had operated using stereotypes about submissive foreign women to attract customers, recently bringing business onto the internet and creating websites marketing women as purchases. Five years after the passage of the law, however, the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act fails to address six key vulnerabilities faced by female marriage migrants. For this reason, women immigrating to the United States to marry a spouse after introduction through a marriage broker still face an increased likelihood of domestic violence and even death. The author concludes with a discussion about future improvements in both legislation and operation to address violence against immigrant women.

Full text

Abstract:

In the past few decades, several meta-analytic studies have attempted to answer the question: Is marriage education effective (Carroll & Doherty, 2003; Halford, Markman, Kline & Stanley, 2003; Reardon-Anderson, Stagner, Macomber, & Murray, 2004)? However, previous meta-analytic studies have been somewhat limited in their conclusions because they have reviewed a narrow portion of the marriage education spectrum (e.g. premarital education only, Carroll & Doherty, 2003), because they focused only on one particular program (e.g, Couples Communication, Butler & Wampler, 1999), because they failed to differentiate marital therapy from marital education programs (Reardon-Anderson et al., 2005), or because they excluded much of the mainstream of marriage education due to methodological restrictions (e.g, random assignment studies only, Reardon-Anderson et al., 2005). The current meta-analysis is uniquely qualified to better answer whether marriage education is effective. It examines the full range of marital education from marriage preparation to early marriage and across the marital life span. It excludes studies that evaluate therapy programs and interventions, thus providing a more focused test of marriage education rather than a broader test of marriage intervention. It also allows for analysis of programs more representative of the mainstream of marriage education as it is currently practiced. Finally, this work employed more rigorous statistical techniques than had been done with previous meta-analyses. Sixty-nine marriage education evaluation reports were included in this meta analysis; fifteen additional articles were not code-able, but were analyzed conceptually. Articles were coded by design and results are reported according to study design. Quantitative results showed that across methodology, sample and program type, marriage education has moderate positive effects on marital satisfaction/quality and communication. These effects remain at follow-up evaluations. Effects were strongest for couples married longer than five years and for communication-training programs. Subgroups of studies generally were too small to examine many moderator variables. In addition, study samples were predominately White, well-educated, middle-class couples. Although this meta analysis provides the strongest answer to date on the effectiveness of marriage education, increased exploration and evaluation of moderator variables are needed before we will know which types of interventions are most effective for which couples.

Abstract:

The thesis consists of a summary and four self-contained papers. Paper [I] examines the effects of interregional migration on gross earnings in married and cohabiting couples. In particular, we examine the link between education level and income gains. We find that pre-migration education level is a key determinant of migration and economic outcomes and is also a determinant of the effect of migration on income distribution within the household. The positive average effect on household earnings is largely explained by income gains among highly-educated males. Females generally experience no significant income gain from migration in absolute terms. Paper [II] analyzes the effect of the spouse’s education on individual earnings. In this study, we control for time-invariant heterogeneity that may be correlated with the spouse’s education level and use a rich data set that includes observations of individuals when they are single and when they are married. The results support the hypothesis of cross-productivity for both males and females. Furthermore, couples with education within the same field experience even larger effects. In Paper [III] we aim to study how the spouse’s productivity in the labor market affects one’s own individual earnings when married. Using longitudinal data on individuals as both single and married allows us to estimate the spouses’ productivity as single persons and thereby avoid problems of endogeneity between the two spouses’ labor market performances. Productivity is approximated with residuals from estimates of pre-marriage earnings equations. Results indicate that there are negative effects of the spouse’s productivity on individual earnings for both males and females, and that this effect appears to be enhanced by the duration of the marriage. Paper [IV] studies spousal matching on earnings for females in secondorder marriages. We aim to follow women who marry, divorce, and subsequently remarry compared with females who marry and stay married over the course of the study interval. Overall, we find significant positive correlations for all three of the marital partitions. The correlation tends to be smaller for the first of a sequence of marriages for women who divorce than for women who marry and stay so. For the second of the successive marriages, however, the correlation of the residuals is larger than that for women who marry but once.

Full text

Abstract:

The Magisterium teaches that Christian marriage is a union between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all other persons.Through marriage and conjugal love married couples cooperate with the Creator in the procreation and rearing of children. In the teaching of the Church, the end of marriage is both companionship and procreation. The Igbo people of Nigeria are one group for whom traditional cultural understandings of marriage can stand in tension with official Church teachings. This is because the ideal Igbo marriage is polygamy, and marriage is said to be successful if it produced offspring for the continuation of the ancestral lineage. For the Igbo people, the primary end of marriage is procreation, and more wives ensures more children and more socialstatus for a man. This poses a significant problem for the conversion and proper evangelization of the Igbo people. But can there be an interaction between a people’s culture and the Christian message especially in the area of marriage? Can there be an authentic merger or integration of the Igbo traditional understanding of marriage and the Christian understanding as defined by the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church? To be relevant to the people, the Gospel must take into consideration the human person’s culture. Therefore, those aspects of Igbo understanding of marriage that are contrary to Christian teaching, can and should be inculturated, so that Igbo people can live the Christian faith within their cultural context.

Abstract:

Marriage is perhaps the most popular voluntary institution in Canadian society. Fifty-six percent of British Columbians choose to be married in a Christian church. Most of these couples will find that they are required to participate in a marriage preparation program. Little is known about these marriage preparation opportunites, or about the individuals who provide these opportunites. Recent studies (Bader, Riddle & Sinclair, 1981; Ridley, Avery, Harrell, Leslie & Dent, 1982) have begun to demonstrate the effectiveness of the field of marriage preparation, but no studies examine the qualifications of educators. This study had two objectives: 1) to measure the knowledge of marriage and family concepts of marriage educators providing marriage preparation and 2) to re-test Wright's (1976) finding that clergy do not perceive themselves to be competent providers of marriage preparation. A random sample of 25% of Anglican Church in Canada and United Church of Canada congregations in British Columbia (n=117) resulted in 62 marriage educators responding to this study. This represents a response rate of 57.7%. The respondents were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire which allowed for the collection of demographic information about the congregations and respondents as well as the measurement of the dependent variable perceived competence, six independent variables and four control variables. As no instruments to measure knowledge of marriage and family concepts were available, a measure was developed for this study and is known as the Knowledge of Marriage and Family Concepts Instrument (KMFC). Respondents were found to have moderate scores on KMFC and perceived themselves to be reasonably competent providers of marriage preparation. No significant results were found for the relationships between either of the dependent variables and the independent variables. Post hoc analysis determined significant relationships between knowledge of marriage and family concepts and gender, and between perceived competence and total number of hours spent in marriage preparation. This study implies that clergy need increased training in content areas relevant to marriage preparation. Further research studies are suggested.

Abstract:

When women marry NFL players and subsequently become NFL wives, they are thrust out of the lives they have known and into a form of secondary socialization among other NFL wives. In this dissertation, I use ethnography and narrative inquiry, the first- person narratives of four NFL wives, interactive interviews with dozens of NFL wives, friendship as method, and my personal autoethnographic experiences to describe the social interactions between NFL wives, the themes of their marriages, and the trajectories of their identity formation and transformation of NFL wives during their time in the league. I also use autoethnography and writing as a method of inquiry to explore my own story before I was an NFL wife, while I was an NFL wife and after I was no longer an NFL wife, to uncover the processes of change in my own identity and marriage as I navigated both graduate school and the NFL.

O objetivo geral desta dissertação é investigar as repercussões do casamento dos pais na conjugalidade dos filhos, a partir da percepção destes, ressaltando as semelhanças e as diferenças. Já os objetivos específicos são: estudar as transformações ocorridas no casamento e na família, nas duas gerações; investigar a presença de conteúdos da transmissão psíquica geracional na vivência da conjugalidade dos filhos; e estudar a manifestação do afeto nos casamentos das duas gerações. Para tanto, utilizamos as respostas discursivas coletadas, mas não analisadas, em pesquisa anterior sobre a validação do Questionário sobre a Conjugalidade dos Pais. Avaliamos as respostas de 50 sujeitos casados de ambos os sexos pelo método de análise de conteúdo. Dos textos emergiram quatro categorias de análise: casamento no modelo tradicional e no modelo contemporâneo; diálogos e conflitos; amor, companheirismo e manifestação de afeto; e casamento dos pais como modelo. Observamos que, tanto para as mulheres como para os homens, o casamento dos pais é visto como modelo de conjugalidade. Todavia, os entrevistados apontam mais diferenças do que similaridades entre os casamentos das duas gerações e ressaltam a busca pela abertura para o diálogo nas suas próprias relações conjugais. Constatamos que os sujeitos que percebem as semelhanças entre o seu casamento e o dos pais, exaltam as características positivas presentes no casamento dos pais e que se repetem em seu próprio casamento. Já, os sujeitos que apontam as diferenças trazem o caráter da percepção da ausência, no casamento dos pais, de sentimentos que consideram importantes como respeito e companheirismo. Concluímos que o casamento dos filhos parece ter propiciado capacidade de elaboração dos aspectos percebidos como negativos no casamento dos pais.
The overall purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the repercussions of the conjugality of parents on the conjugality of children, from the perception of the latter, stressing the similarities and differences. The specific purposes of this dissertation are to study the transformations that take place within the marriage and family in both generations; to investigate the presence of generational psychic transmission contents in the conjugal experience of children; and to study the displays of affection in the marriage of both generations. In order to do this, we used the open responses collected - but not analyzed - from a previous survey about the validation of the Parental Conjugality Questionnaire. We evaluated the responses from 50 married subjects, from both genders, using the content analysis method. Four categories of analysis emerged from the responses: marriage in the traditional model and in the contemporary model; dialogues and conflicts; love, companionship and display of affection; and the marriage of parents as a model. We observed that both women and men view the marriage of their parents as a model of conjugality. However, the interviewees pointed out more differences than similarities between the marriages of the two generations, and the children emphasized the search for openness for dialogue in their own conjugal relationships. We observed that the subjects who notice the similarities between their marriage and the one of their parents praise the positive traits present in the marriage of their parents and that are repeated in their own marriage. However, the subjects that point out the differences seem to have a perception, regarding the marriage of their parents, of the absence of feelings they consider important, such as respect and companionship. We conclude that the marriage of the children seem to have fostered the ability to elaborate the aspects perceived as negative present in the marriage of their parents.
