This book provides an ethnography of love-marriages in the late
1990s in Delhi, identifying the ways in which marriage is ever more
a pitch of intense political contestation. It bears upon
anthropological understandings of marriageability, urban morality,
gender, kinship and the study of the individual and the couple in
contemporary India.

The collection examines the ways in which the emerging
interdisciplinary study of care provokes a reassessment of the
connections and disjuncture between care and governance, ethics,
and public, personal and professional identities. Evolving from a
project coordinated by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group, Spaces of
Care brings together leading international scholars to articulate
what we may consider to be a useful analytic of care. Lawyers,
anthropologists, sociologists and criminologists reflect on
specific aspects of conceptualising caring relations in 'spaces'.
These spaces include: communities of care and abandonment;
self-care and kinship care; spaces as 'gaps' in care; the meanings
of marketised care; and the ways in which care is constructed and
constrained in different ways in venues such as homes, prisons,
workplaces and virtual spaces. Common themes include temporality
(historical specificity) and the dynamics of care across time and
place; subjectivity (including different experiences of care); the
economies of care (including the commodification of care; public
and private manifestations of care; privatised 'care'); disruptions
of care (which generate vulnerabilities with regard to continuities
of care); eligibility (those deemed to be deserving and undeserving
of care); relationalities of care (collective and individual agency
in caring relations, kinship care), and technologies and
imaginaries of care (as in new notions of care forged by those in
online virtual worlds such as Second Life).
Recent years have seen extensive discussion about the continuing
retreat from marriage, the increasing demand for the right to marry
from previously excluded groups, and the need to protect those who
do not wish to marry from being forced to do so. At the same time,
weddings are big business, couples are spending more than ever
before on getting married, and marriage ceremonies are increasingly
elaborate. It is therefore timely to reflect on the rites of
marriage, as well as the right to marry (or not to marry), and the
relationship between them. To this end, this new interdisciplinary
collection brings together scholars from numerous fields, including
law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, demography, theology and
art and design. Focusing on England and Wales, it explores in depth
the specific issues arising from this jurisdiction's Anglican
heritage, demographic development, current laws and social
practices.
