The institution of marriage is at a crossroads. Across most of the
industrialized world, unmarried cohabitation and nonmarital births
have skyrocketed while marriage rates are at record lows. These
trends mask a new, idealized vision of marriage as a marker of
success as well as a growing class divide in childbearing behavior:
the children of better educated, wealthier individuals continue to
be born into relatively stable marital unions while the children of
less educated, poorer individuals are increasingly born and raised
in more fragile, nonmarital households. The interdisciplinary
approach offered by this edited volume provides tools to inform the
debate and to assist policy makers in resolving questions about
marriage at a critical juncture. Drawing on the expertise of social
scientists and legal scholars, the book will be a key text for
anyone who seeks to understand marriage as a social institution and
to evaluate proposals for marriage reform.
