The Millennial Marriage

The Millennial Marriage

This essential text explores the concept of Me-Marriage—a marital relationship that blends individualized life goals and interests—and draws from research on the current benefits and costs of marriage to consider how to achieve success both individually and relationally. Chapters explore the larger patterns at play and identify the trends about what a modern healthy marriage looks like for this new generation. Brian J. Willoughby combines a review of the latest social science research on the benefits and costs of marriage with new quantitative and qualitative data from married and single adults. The book explores how marriage has fundamentally shifted in the Western world due to the changing values and approaches to relationships by the Millennial generation that is now largely transitioning to marriage. This book is an ideal text for clinicians and practitioners (particularly those working with young married populations) looking for guidance on how to understand the increasingly complex ways that adults are navigating their relationship landscape as well as students and scholars in the fields of psychology family studies and sociology and those interested in individual development relational development and demographic trends on the family. | The Millennial Marriage

Marriage Trafficking Women in Forced Wedlock

Marriage Trafficking Women in Forced Wedlock

This book examines the traffic in women for marriage a phenomenon that has been largely overlooked in international efforts to address the problem of human trafficking. In contrast to current international and state-based approaches to trafficking which tend to focus on sex trafficking and trafficking for forced labour this book seeks to establish how marriage as an institution is often implicated in the occurrence of trafficking in women. The book aims firstly to establish why marriage has tended not to be included in dominant conceptions of trafficking in persons and secondly to determine whether certain types of marriage may constitute cases of human trafficking in and of themselves. Through the use of case studies on forced marriage mail-order bride (MOB) marriage and Fundamentalist Mormon polygamy this book demonstrates that certain kinds of marriage may in fact constitute situations of trafficking in persons and together form the under-recognised phenomenon of ‘marriage trafficking’. In addition the book offers a new perspective on the types of harm involved in trafficking in women by developing a framework for identifying the particular abuses characteristic to marriage trafficking. It argues that the traffic in women for marriage cannot be understood merely as a subset of sex trafficking or trafficking for forced labour but rather constitutes a distinctive form of trafficking in its own right. This book will be of great interest to scholars and postgraduates working in the fields of human rights theory and institutions political science international law transnational crime trafficking in persons and feminist political theory. | Marriage Trafficking Women in Forced Wedlock

Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality

Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality

After years of intense debate same-sex marriage has become a legal reality in many countries around the globe. As same-sex marriage laws spread Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality asks: What will queer families and relationships look like on the ground? Building on a major conference held in 2016 entitled After Marriage: The Future of LGBTQ Politics and Scholarship this collection draws from critical and intersectional perspectives to explore this question. Comprising academic papers edited transcripts of conference panels and interviews with activists working on the ground this collection presents some of the first works of empirical scholarship and first-hand observation to assess the realities of queer families and relationships after same-sex marriage. Including a number of chapters focused on married same-sex couples as well as several on other queer family types the volume considers the following key questions: What are the material impacts of marriage for same-sex couples? Is the spread of same-sex marriage pushing LGBTQ people toward more normalized types of relationships that resemble heterosexual marriage? And finally how is the spread of same-sex marriage shaping other queer relationships that do not fit the marriage model? By presenting scholarly research and activist observations on these questions this volume helps translate queer critiques advanced during the marriage debates into a framework for ongoing critical research in the after-marriage period.

Child Marriage Rights and Choice Rethinking Agency in International Human Rights

Child Marriage Rights and Choice Rethinking Agency in International Human Rights

This book addresses the issue of agency in relation to child marriage. In international campaigns against child marriage there is a puzzle of agency: While international human rights institutions celebrate girls’ exercise of their agency not to marry they do not recognize their agency to marry. Child marriage usually defined as ‘any formal marriage or informal union where one or both of the parties are under 18 years of age’ is normally considered as forced – which is to say that it is assumed that are not capable of consenting to marriage. This book however re-examines this assumption through a detailed socio-legal examination of child marriage in Indonesia. Eliciting the multiple competing frameworks according to which child marriage takes place the book considers the complex reasons why children marry. Structural explanations such as lack of opportunities and oppressive social structures are important but not exhaustive explanations. Exploring the subjective reasons by listening to children’s perspectives their stories show that many of them decide to marry for love desire to belong to the community and for new opportunities and hopes. The book then demonstrates how the child marriage framework – and indeed the human rights framework in general – is constructed on too narrow a vision of human agency: One that cannot but fail to respect and promote the agency of all regardless of gender race religion and age. This book will be of interest to scholars students and practitioners in the areas of children’s rights legal anthropology and socio-legal studies. | Child Marriage Rights and Choice Rethinking Agency in International Human Rights

Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence When Salvation is Survival

Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence When Salvation is Survival

Domestic violence is a significant threat to women’s survival. But Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church’s teaching on marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive rather than encourage them to submit to their husband bear their cross or sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts: Argentina and England Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine’s notion of the goods of marriage and on belief in the saving power of marriage this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is central to a marriage can it have the power to save. | Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence When Salvation is Survival
