Book The Decline of Marriage in Namibia

Download or read book The Decline of Marriage in Namibia written by Julia Pauli and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Southern Africa, marriage used to be widespread and common. However, over the past decades marriage rates have declined significantly. Julia Pauli explores the meaning of marriage when only few marry. Although marriage rates have dropped sharply, the value of weddings and marriages has not. To marry has become an indicator of upper-class status that less affluent people aspire to. Using the appropriation of marriage by a rural Namibian elite as a case study, the book tells the entwined stories of class formation and marriage decline in post-apartheid Namibia.

Book The Development of Marriage and Kinship

Download or read book The Development of Marriage and Kinship written by C. Staniland Wake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Marriage and Kinship In the preface to "The Evolution of Morality," published in 1878, reasons were given for dealing only incidentally in that work with sexual morality. The justification for the course then pursued is to be found in the present volume, which could not then have been written; although the second edition of Dr J. F. M'Lennan's "Primitive Marriage" had appeared in 1876, with certain additions, under the title of Studies in Ancient History, and in 1877 had been published Dr Lewis H. Morgan's "Ancient Society," which severely criticised Dr M'Lennan's views. It was not until the appearance, in 1880, of the result of the enquiries made by the Rev. Lorimer Fison and Mr A. W. Howitt into the system of marriage and relationship in use among the aborigines of Australia, under the title of "Kamilaroi and Kurnai," that a serious attempt to deal with the whole subject of sexual morality was possible. Such an attempt is made by the present work, during the preparation of which I have had the advantage of corresponding with Mr Fison, with reference to the Australian system, and I have to thank him and Mr Howitt for their ready consent to my making use of information received from them. If Dr J. F. M'Lennan had lived, however, this work might not have appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Marriage  Love  Caste and Kinship Support

Download or read book Marriage Love Caste and Kinship Support written by Shalini Grover and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes use of interesting case studies and photographs to describe everyday life in a squatter settlement in Delhi. The book helps to understand the marital experiences of these people most of whom belong to the Scheduled Caste and live in one identified geographical space. The author describes the shifts within their marriages, remarriages and other kinds of unions and their striking diversities, which have been described with care. Shalini Grover also examines the close ties of married women with their mothers and natal families. An important contribution of the book lies in the unfolding of the role of women-led informal courts, Mahila Panchayats and their influence in conflict resolution. This takes place in a distinctly different mode of community-based arbitration against the backdrop of mainstream legal structures and male-dominated caste associations. The book will be of interest to students of sociology and social anthropology, gender studies, development studies, law and psychology. Activists and family counsellors will also find the book useful.

Book Marriage and Modernity

    Book Details:
  • Author : Rochona Majumdar
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2009-04-13
  • ISBN : 0822390809
  • Pages : 357 pages

Download or read book Marriage and Modernity written by Rochona Majumdar and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative cultural history of the evolution of modern marriage practices in Bengal, Marriage and Modernity challenges the assumption that arranged marriage is an antiquated practice. Rochona Majumdar demonstrates that in the late colonial period Bengali marriage practices underwent changes that led to a valorization of the larger, intergenerational family as a revered, “ancient” social institution, with arranged marriage as the apotheosis of an “Indian” tradition. She meticulously documents the ways that these newly embraced “traditions”—the extended family and arranged marriage—entered into competition and conversation with other emerging forms of kinship such as the modern unit of the couple, with both models participating promiscuously in the new “marketplace” for marriages, where matrimonial advertisements in the print media and the payment of dowry played central roles. Majumdar argues that together the kinship structures newly asserted as distinctively Indian and the emergence of the marriage market constituted what was and still is modern about marriages in India. Majumdar examines three broad developments related to the modernity of arranged marriage: the growth of a marriage market, concomitant debates about consumption and vulgarity in the conduct of weddings, and the legal regulation of family property and marriages. Drawing on matrimonial advertisements, wedding invitations, poems, photographs, legal debates, and a vast periodical literature, she shows that the modernization of families does not necessarily imply a transition from extended kinship to nuclear family structures, or from matrimonial agreements negotiated between families to marriage contracts between individuals. Colonial Bengal tells a very different story.
