The civil war between the Sri Lankan state and Tamil militants,
which ended in 2009, lasted more than three decades and led to mass
migration, mainly to India, Canada, England, and continental
Europe. In Marrying for a Future, Sidharthan Maunaguru argues that
the social institution of marriage has emerged as a critical means
of building alliances between dispersed segments of Tamil
communities, allowing scattered groups to reunite across national
borders. Maunaguru explores how these fragmented communities were
rekindled by connections fostered by key participants in and
elements of the marriage process, such as wedding photographers,
marriage brokers, legal documents, and transit places. Marrying for
a Future contributes to transnational and diaspora marriage studies
by looking at the temporary spaces through which migrants and
refugees travel in addition to their home and host countries. It
provides a new conceptual framework for studies on kinship and
marriage and addresses a community that has been separated across
borders as a result of war.
