在印度,没有有意义的同意的婚姻仍然存在,然而早婚计划很少涉及同意,对这种做法及其对婚姻生活的影响的研究是有限的。这项研究探讨了婚姻决定中的同意如何影响婚姻生活,具体来说,agency,性别态度,配偶通信,避孕,和婚姻暴力的结果。
1991年已婚女孩和年轻女性的一部分来自2018年对Jharkhand15-21岁青少年和青少年的州代表性调查。我们比较了自我安排婚姻的结果(n=392),半包办婚姻的人在婚前与丈夫相识(n=612),和那些完全由父母包办婚姻,没有婚前接触的人(n=995)。Logistic回归分析确定婚姻决策与兴趣结果之间的关联,控制混杂的社会人口因素。
与婚姻是自行安排的女孩相比,完全父母和半包办婚姻的可能性较小,分别,做出家庭决定(赔率比[OR],.37和.60),持有平等主义的性别角色态度(或,.48和.66),维护女孩的权利(或,.41和.48),与他们的丈夫沟通(或者,.48和.64),和实践避孕(或,.51和.67)。那些完全由家庭包办婚姻的人的行动自由也较少(或,.64),表达自我效能感的可能性较小(OR,.64).婚姻暴力与婚姻安排无关。
自我安排的婚姻比家庭安排的婚姻有更积极的结果,包括半排列的,但是婚姻安排与婚姻暴力无关。调查结果重申,有必要打破现行的父权制规范,促进女孩享有有意义的权利,“自由和完全同意”。
Marriage without meaningful consent persists in India, yet early marriage programs have rarely addressed consent, and research on the practice and its consequences for married life is limited. This study explores how consent in marriage decisions affects married life, specifically, agency, gender attitudes, spousal communication, contraception, and marital violence outcomes.
A subset of 1991 married girls and young women was drawn from a 2018 state-representative survey of adolescents and youth aged 15-21 years in Jharkhand. We compared outcomes between those in self-arranged marriages (n = 392), those in semi-arranged marriages who were acquainted with their husbands before marriage (n = 612), and those in fully parent-arranged marriages with no premarital contact (n = 995). Logistic regression analyses identify associations between marriage decision-making and outcomes of interest, controlling for confounding sociodemographic factors.
Compared with girls whose marriages were self-arranged, those in both fully parent- and semi-arranged marriages were less likely, respectively, to make household decisions (odds ratios [OR], .37 and .60), hold egalitarian gender role attitudes (OR, .48 and .66), uphold girls\' rights (OR, .41 and .48), communicate with their husbands (OR, .48 and .64), and practice contraception (OR, .51 and .67). Those in fully family-arranged marriages also had less freedom of movement (OR, .64) and were less likely to express self-efficacy (OR, .64). Marital violence was unrelated to marriage arrangements.
Self-arranged marriage is associated with more positive outcomes than family-arranged ones, including semi-arranged ones, but marriage arrangements are unrelated with marital violence. Findings reaffirm the need to breakdown prevailing patriarchal norms and promote girls\' right to meaningful, \"free and full consent\".
