Various forms of partnering - such as officially registered
marriages, cohabiting relationships, and other kinds of relatively
stable relationships - are crucial in the formation of families
throughout the world. Although, today, forms of partnering in the
region are not restricted to formal marriage, the norm remains for
couples to marry - to establish a new family, and to accept the
cultural requirement to have children.
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of
partnerships and marriage in the Southeast Asian region using
quantitative data alongside qualitative approaches.Through the
research of demographers, sociologists and anthropologists, it
examines the way trends in the formation and dissolution of
marriages are related to changes in the region's economy and
society; illuminating both the broad forces affecting marriage
patterns and the way these forces work out at the individual and
family level.
Presenting the variety of contemporary marriage patterns in the
region, with an emphasis on the ways in which marriage issues
impinge on the welfare of those concerned, this book will be
essential reading for students and scholars of Southeast Asia and
the sociology of the family.
