Mixed marriage between Indonesian citizens and foreign citizens has become an increasingly common phenomenon due to rapid globalization and increasing tourist visits to Indonesia. One of the main issues is regarding the arrangement of joint property, which is influenced by the various legal systems of each couple's home country. This study aims to analyze the perspective of legal justice in the reform of joint property arrangements in mixed marriages. The research method uses a normative legal approach, with data collection through relevant literature reviews and in-depth interviews. The data was systematically analyzed and tested for validity using the triangulation method to ensure validity. The results of the study show that differences in legal systems between countries create significant challenges for couples in managing, owning, and dividing joint property. Inequality and discrimination are common, especially in cross-border property ownership, which can be detrimental to one party. To overcome this challenge, harmonization of international civil law is needed through the application of the principles of universal justice and inclusive legal reform. In addition, the development of marriage agreements that are responsive to globalization can be a solution to provide better legal protection, reduce uncertainty, and ensure that the rights of couples are met fairly. This study recommends legal reforms that prioritize the principles of justice and the protection of rights in mixed marriages, in order to create a legal system that is more responsive to the dynamics of globalization.

Since the outbreak of violence and persecution against Rohingyas in 2017 they have been fleeing Myanmar and taking refuge in Bangladesh. A significant number of them are married to a Bangladeshi citizen and their children are entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship by descent. However, these Rohingyas are not registered as Bangladeshi citizens. As a result, a significant number of Rohingyas and their children have become stateless. As Bangladesh is not a party to the statelessness conventions, the issues surrounding the statelessness of these Rohingyas can hardly be addressed under these conventions. This article explores the citizenship rights of these Rohingyas outside of these conventions. It argues that, although Bangladesh is not a party to the statelessness conventions it is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights treaties under which it is obliged to grant citizenship status to the Rohingyas who are married to a Bangladeshi citizen or born to a Bangladeshi parent.

The advancement of technology has reduced distance and time constraints, leading to the intercultural marriages experienced by Indonesian women. This research aims to analyze the socio-cultural adjustment of mixed-marriage women from the Anxiety Uncertainty Management (AUM) perspective. Referring to AUM theory, the presence of uncertainty and anxiety serves a significant role in maintaining the focus of mixed-marriage women residing in foreign countries, particularly during cross-cultural interactions. This research utilizes a qualitative content analysis method with the assistance of NVivo 14 Plus to code the distribution of adjustment factors within the YouTube content. The selection of research samples was based on the diversity of husbands' origins, current country of residence, length of marriage, and the depth of women's engagement in sharing personal stories in their content, resulting in the selection of six account owners. The categorization of adjustment factors that emerged in the YouTube video content includes stages of uncertainty management, anxiety management, self-awareness, and effective communication. The results of this research indicate that all women go through the four stages of the AUM model in diverse forms. An additional finding in this study is that support systems play a significant role in assisting women to navigate during the adjustment phases.

Examining the statistics of tourism, of real estate sales to foreigners and statistics of mixed marriages, the authors argue that Russians' interest to Turkey has steadily increased not only as a tourist destination but also as an emigration country for Russians. Many Russian citizens who visit Turkey for tourism purposes think about settling down in the country, and some of them buy real estate there. The second main period of the Russian immigration to Turkey is 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Due to the number of mixed marriages increased as a result of irregular migration, a new generation grew up with two common cultures. In general, the gender factor appears more prominently in the marriage and migration, and the mixed marriages point out the unimportance of social-cultural differences such as language and religion. After 1980, an increase in foreign population was observed in Turkey especially in coastal areas such as Aegean and Mediterranean regions with tourism activities, and from 2000, these locations, mainly Antalya, have become popular in international migration. Main changes in Turkish legislation on citizenship are closely linked to the economic migration process, including quantitative limits set forth for investments in capital and real estate were dramatically decreased. Turkey has really become an immigration country while before it was an emigration one.The statistical data collected from different sources prove some surveys' conclusions that economic factors are less important than social and geographical ones in the decisions of Russian citizens to migrate to and settle down in Turkey.

Prior research into the socialization of religious values between religious parents and their children indicates that, in homogeneous religious family groups, there are similarities between the religious values of religious parents and those of their children. Research further shows that, in religious-secular heterogeneous family groups, there is a significant distance between the religious parent and their teenagers in terms of religious values. The purpose of this study is to explore the transmission of religious values in homogeneous Modern-Orthodox family groups and in heterogeneous Modern-Orthodox-secular family groups in Israel. Results of the study show that religious distance in values is not dependent on the family type (homogeneous/heterogeneous). However, it appears that, when the transmitter of religious values is a religious parent in both homogeneous and heterogeneous religious and religious-secular family groups, there is a distance in the socialization of religious values between religious parent and their children. Moreover, the study proposes that the effect sizes are smaller in the parent-child religious distance of values in homogeneous Modern-Orthodox family groups in comparison to the parent child religious distance of values in heterogeneous Modern-Orthodox- secular family groups. This study provides support for recent research, suggesting that the transmission of religiosity from parents to their children might function as a mechanism of secularization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The importance of having self-identity by every individual is a necessity, including the identity of a newborn child. Identity is the right of every citizen, and the state has an obligation to carry out services, procurement, and spending as part of the legitimacy and legality of identity owned by each citizen. Developments in technology, modernization, and globalization, as well as the era of digitalization, can encourage and assist the process of having a digital self-identity of children from birth. This will be very influential in reducing acts of exploitation, such as trafficking, violence, exile, neglect, and other criminal acts. Therefore, the researcher takes a legal analysis approach to all applicable regulations in Indonesia related to access policies, and processes to disclosure of children’s identities. The results of the analysis carried out included, among other things, the enforcement of the provisions of the 1945 Constitution Article 28, Law Number 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship, Law Number 23 of 2006 Population Administration, and Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning the ratification of Child Protection can become a legal umbrella for child ownership. In addition, the identity ownership of children from mixed marriages will be influenced by the validity of the marriage of their parents or the application for legalization through consanguine marriage in accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974. The process of owning a child’s digital identity will involve 3 institutions and or related agencies, including hospitals or maternity clinics as agencies that issue birth certificates, the Ministry of Religion as an institution that issues legal marriage certificates, and the Ministry of Home Affairs that issues valid personal identities in the form of temporary E-KTP and immigration passports.

Marriage in Türkiye, as in many societies, is of great importance in the reproduction of life, and the choice of a spouse often involves the intervention of families and society. Within this structure, it is seen that marriages usually occur between extended family members or the same ethnic/sectarian groups. Nevertheless, mixed marriages between migrants with different ethnic, racial, religious, and cultural identities and settled people have increased in the last 30 years. The fluidity of the transnational social space created by marriages is effective in this increase. This paper reviews the current studies on mixed marriages in Türkiye from the perspective of transnational social spaces, which express a way of life somewhere between two communities and provides a link between them. It reflects the ways in which this fluidity affects the political and social positioning of mixed marriages and the agency of marriage migrants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Heritage languages are key to shaping the identity of many individuals who grow up in environments where the dominant societal language is different from their home languages. Yet heritage language learners can be incredibly diverse in terms of cultural and language backgrounds, language proficiency, literacy skills, language socialization experiences and in many other ways. Heritage language education and literacy development, in particular, have been examined in both formal and community-based educational settings. Insights drawn from this growing area of research have informed our understanding of challenges faced by heritage language learners in relation to literacy socialization, such as a lack of educational resources and community support. A subset of this research examines the issues faced by mixed-heritage language families in relation to literacy. This article reports on the qualitative phase of a mixed-method study on the language and literacy socialization experiences of interlingual families in Canada with mothers of Japanese descent. The findings highlight the multiple challenges faced by the participants in relation to the development of Japanese literacy. It draws attention to the complexity of their family lives, and how the promotion of multilingualism in the two official languages of Canada comes at the expense of Japanese literacy skills for their children.

Pembagian harta sering kali menjadi masalah utama pada kasus perceraian. Seperti harta gono-gini yang dijadikan masalah pada kedua belah pihak. Seiring dengan perkembangan jaman, perkawinan beda kebangsaan atau biasa disebut dengan perkawinan campuran menjadi sesuatu yang umum di Indonesia. Namun, nyatanya perkawinan ras campuran ini memiliki risiko perceraian yang lebih besar dikarenakan perbedaan persepsi ataupun pandangan hidup. Alasan penggugatan cerai menjadi hal yang penting untuk mempertimbangkan berbagai aspek seperti hak asuh anak atau kasus persengketaan harta. Permasalahan mengenai pembagian harta dan status kepemilikan pun muncul. Harta benda milik suami istri mempunyai sifat yang terbatas yang biasa disebut dengan harta gono-gini. Tetapi perjanjian perkawinan juga bisa menghasilkan ketiadaan harta bersama sama sekali melainkan harta suami tetap menjadi harta suami dan harta istri juga tetap menjadi harta milik istri. Pembagian harta dengan jenis benda tetap dalam harta gono-gini juga menjadi salah satu pokok yang menjadi permasalahan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang bersifat kualitatif dengan sumber Undang-Undang sebagai sumber primer dan hasil penelitian sebagai sumber hukum sekunder.

INTERMARRIAGE , *SOCIOECONOMICS - Abstract
In this paper, as I follow scholars' socio-economic perspectives on Ezra 9-10, I will explore the mixed marriage issue in light of the post-colonial theory, especially Homi Bhabha's post-colonial theory. I will argue that Ezra as a mimic man followed the Persian Empire's political policy. The Empire prohibited intermarriage between the returnees and those who had not been in exile. However, Ezra was persecuted because of his coercive dissolution of marriage. In his commentary, Ezra-Nehemiah, Joseph Blenkinsopp assumes that Ezra was recalled by the Persian Empire since Ezra's decision of dissolution of marriage caused political unrest in Yehud. However, he does not clarify how Ezra's intermarriage prohibition is supported by the Persian Empire. Given the fact that Udjahorresnet, the Egyptian priest and special advisor to the Persian Empire on Egyptian affairs, banished the foreigners who had settled in the sanctuary of Neith in the third year of Darius, Ezra must have followed the prohibition of intermarriage by the Persian Empire. If I apply Homi Bhabha's concept to Ezra's political status, Ezra as a mimic man reveals his hybrids: he is part Pro-Persian and part Jewish elite. In an attempt to resolve the conflicts between the group of returnees and those who were not in exile, especially in regard to property disputes, the Persian Empire sent the Pro-Persian Ezra. However, by interpreting the Deuteronomic law in an extreme way, Ezra decided to separate the existing families. According to Ancient Near Eastern Law, a husband should return his wife's dowry after their divorce. On account of this, Ezra must have stirred up considerable social controversy. In other words, Ezra's hybridity functions as a menace to the Persian Empire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Maintaining heritage languages is frequently desired by migrants to continue cultural and social connections to family and identity. However, in imagined monolingual nations such as Australia, efforts to transmit minority languages are seen as a private matter and largely unsupported. Transmission of culture and language is also frequently seen as women's work (Heller, Monica & Laurette Lévy. 1992. Mixed marriage: Life on the linguistic frontier. Multilingua 11(1). 32). This article seeks to explore how linguistically intermarried heterosexual couples orient to the task of heritage language maintenance along gender lines. It draws on a qualitative interview-based study into 22 couples living in Sydney. For the English-speaking background parents in the study, pressure to raise bilingual children arising out of a discourse of intensive mothering (Hays, Sharon. 1996. The cultural contradictions of motherhood. New Haven: Yale University Press) was experienced in more negative ways by mothers than fathers. The analysis points to the effects of the non-migrant partner's first language and their gender on heritage language efforts in linguistically intermarried families, and their impact on the (dis)continuation of linguistic diversity.

mixed marriage ,parenting pattern ,agreement ,democratic. ,Social Sciences - Abstract
This research aims to find out how the parenting pattern is conducted by Indonesian women who experience mixed marriage where they marry foreign men and live in their husbands’ countries. The research method used is Qualitative with Phenomenological approach. Using Purposive Sampling Technique, five Indonesian women were gathered as informants where 3 of them live in Europe : The United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Germany while 2 others live in Canada. Data collection was conducted using online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to be further analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to reveal in detail how participants interpreted their personal and social worlds. The results show that participants conduct Democratic parenting style; a combination of appreciation for the individuality of the children and efforts to shape social values gradually. This parenting pattern was formed by building an agreement with their husbands towards their own religions and Indonesian cultures. The country provision and protection of children aged 18 to have the rights to live separately from their parents has encouraged participants to conduct some particular standards for their children. Additionally, the results show that participants managed to conduct similar parenting style held by their parents.

The ethnic and confessional diversity of the population imposes a communication, an interference of different ethno-confessional communities. Mixed marriage is one of the factors providing the link between interethnic and interreligious communities. As these communities were living together, it was natural that this "cooperation" should be visible in the case of marriage. Given the context, mixed marriages acquired an innate inter-culturalism due to the need to live together. Mixed marriage may be one of the social mechanisms to alter traditional spiritual values. It is a crossing of the barriers imposed by identity borders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the way Jewish women negotiate their crossing ethnoreligious borders in a deeply divided society through 15 in-depth interviews. Despite social, economic and political exclusion of Palestinians in Israel, in certain circumstances, the ethnic and religious borders are weakening. The core findings have led to three conclusions. First, ethnic mixed marriage occurs between Palestinian men and Jewish women from diverse groups with heterogeneity in their socioeconomic features, which places in doubt previous discourse that this kind of marriage appears among people from marginalized groups in Israel. Second, the ethnic hierarchical relationship between the two groups carries over into their intimate relationships. Third, the rigid borders of ethnoreligious belonging to the Israeli society and the extent of belonging to the Jewish mainstream differ among Jewish immigrants from different origins, produce different types of negotiations among the Jewish women while they are crossing the ethnoreligious borders by marrying Palestinian men.

The research objective that we want to explore concerns the phenomenon of mixed marriages in Italy. Indeed, in the last years (especially from EU enlargement in 2007 with the addiction of Romania and Bulgaria), italian territory is characterized, for its geographical and cultural position, to be one of the European countries with the largest number of foreign residents: suffice it to say that from 2008 to 2016 the increase is equal to +46.4 percentage points. To this purpose, through secondary data analysis from National Institute for Statistics (ISTAT) database, we examine the unions between couples formed by both foreign citizens or by a immigrant and an autochthonous in Italy from 2008-2016 focusing the attention on following four specific variables: area of origin, educational level, rite and type of marriage (first or second). In conclusion, this phenomenon is particularly relevant because it allows to look into the state of integration and inclusion of foreign presence in the host society.

The object of the paper is to research the celebration of calendar festivals within Finnish-Lithuanian and Greek-Lithuanian families in Finland and Greece respectively. The subject was approached mainly from the Lithuanian women’s perspective, since most of the mixed marriages involved Lithuanian females and rarely Lithuanian men in the countries chosen. Six main Lithuanian calendar festivals of different origins were in focus of the study. Three festivals belong to the Christian calendar: Christmas Eve (Kūčios), Christmas (Šv. Kalėdos) and Easter Day (Šv. Velykos); and the other three are national festivals significant for the State of Lithuania historically: 16th February (Day of Reinstating of the State of Lithuania), 11th March (Day of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania) and 6th July (Statehood Day). The aim of the research is to reveal how the calendar festivals referred to above are celebrated in the particular context of emigration: within mixed marriages. Available transnational connections suggest different forms of celebrating, which are shaped following certain strategies.

INTERMARRIAGE ,ASSET management ,LEGAL judgments ,DOMESTIC relations - Abstract
Introduction to the Problem: this research focuses on the actors of mixed marriage in Indonesia who have hope at the practice level. The hope arises from the Constitutional Court decision No. 69/VII/PUU/2015, which allows the formation of an asset separation agreement after the marriage takes place (post-nuptial agreement). The decision is followed up by two Circular Letters of relevant ministries: one is from the Ministry of Home Affairs No. 472.2/5876/Dukcapil, which guarantees that post-nuptial agreement is allowed in the Civil Registry (Dukcapil); as well as the one from Directorate Generals of Community Guidance under the Ministry of Religion No. B.2674/DJ/III/KW.00/9/2017. By enacting these instruments, Indonesia facilitates a hope to the mixed marriage, which is the hope of the ownership of the assets. Objectives of the Study: To identify the implication of the Constitutional Court decision No. 69/VII/PUU/2015 in practice, in lieu with the implication of the Circular Letters of the Ministry of Home Affairs No. 472.2/5876/Dukcapil and Directorate Generals of Community Guidance under the Ministry of Religion No. B.2674/DJ/III/KW.00/9/2017; also, to review the possibilities of those decisions and Circular Letters in the perspective of Indonesian family law, would it be a hope or a challenge? Methodology: This is normative-juridical research, which implements a doctrinal approach to analyze the problems. Findings: Post-nuptial agreement is allowed and having legal implications to the parties to the marriage bond. Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Religion have facilitated the Constitutional Court decision by enacting their respective Circular Letters to guide the civil registry officials in responding to the post-nuptial agreement.

Since the early 1990s, marriages between Russian women and Turkish men have become more common. Today, Russian brides have the top place among marriage migrants in Turkey. This study aims to reveal the actors, places, motivations and mechanisms of these marriages, which have changed the social fabric significantly. The study emphasizes the direct effects of political-economic structures on mixed marriage and marriage migrations. In this study, in-depth interviews were held with Russian brides and their Turkish husbands in İstanbul and Antalya. The results show that this 30-year-old marriage pattern has evolved substantially over time, mirroring the two countries' political economy, and has created its own system that diverges from the global trend in several ways.

The present study described the process and the problems of marriage registration for Indonesian citizens who live in the Netherlands. Through qualitative approach, the study found that the marriage for Indonesian brides and grooms who are Muslim in Den Haag had been recorded by the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in the country. The process of delivering marriage service in the Embassy had been simple and easy if the bride and grooms were able to provide the marriage requirements. On the other hand, mixed-marriages were unable to be recorded in the Embassy; however, these mixed-marriages might be recorded in Gemeente or the office of local authority on the country. In addition, the present study also found that several Indonesian citizens in the Netherlands had decided to opt for sirri marriage or religion-based marriage and thus they did not record their marriage in either the Embassy or the Gemeente. The sirri marriage had been selected because the brides and the grooms did not have valid administrative requirements. These brides and grooms usually registered themselves as life partners. Socially, sirri marriage did not have negative impacts because the partners still had social security provided by the government; as a result, civil, social, and economic rights had not been limited. Furthermore, the present study found that the spouses of mixed-marriages in the Netherlands encountered conflict of laws in which the Marriage Law admitted the law of the state in which the marriage had been held but also urged the single-faith marriage. On that basis, the present study would like to recommend reconstruction of marriage law in Indonesia, by recognizing the marriage record that has been legally carried out in other country.

This research uses Schwartz's theory of values to examine intergenerational (parent-child) value transmission among Orthodox-religious and secular Jewish families in Israel. The study investigates the transmission of religious and secular values among 211 Jewish families with heterogeneous religious-secular (R-S) parental dyads in comparison to family groups that are homogeneously religious (R-R) or homogenously secular (S-S). Results illustrate significant differences between the groups with respect to religious values transmitted by parents and accepted by adult children. Parent–child agreement on religious values is high in (RF-SM) family groups and in homogeneous religious (R-R) family groups. In contrast, the religious mother-secular father (RM-SF) family groups and homogeneous secular (S-S) family groups have a low transmission of religious values. The study sheds light on parent–child agreement on religious values in various types of family groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Japanese and Balinese mixed marriage children have become bilingual since the early years of the language acquisition period. They acquired the inheritance of the languages (Indonesian, Japanese, and Balinese) from their parents. This research was conducted to find the language choice of mixed marriage children of Balinese and Japanese in Bali. The language use domain is divided into two: family and social. In each domain, the topic, the background of the situation, and the people involved are determined. The data was gathered using questionnaires employed to 10 mixed married families. The method includes observation and interviews. The result of data analysis showed that in the family domain there are variations of the children's language preferences when communicating. The children choose Indonesian when communicating with the father, and Japanese with the mother. However, there are also other options for using mixed code between Indonesian, Japanese and also English. In the social domain, the language choice is more homogeneous, which is Indonesian. Meanwhile, it was found that there was resistance towards the use of Balinese by Japanese- Balinese Mixed Marriage Family (JBMF) and the factors that affected the children's language choice were also discovered.

Scholars of interfaith tolerance and conflict in the pre-modern Mediterranean have largely overlooked the history of mixed marriage, that is, the binding union between men and women from different religious communities. Concentrating on pre-modern Iberia but looking as well at wider Mediterranean contexts, the collection of essays gathered here examines mixed marriage in relation to religious conversion and the family.

This article examines the development of Japanese as a heritage language (HL) in linguistically mixed families. While families where parents share a mother tongue have been investigated extensively in recent decades, this particular demographic has received minimal attention in Canada. The article, part of a larger study, is based on semi-structured interviews with Japanese-descent mothers living in Montreal, Canada, which sought to investigate their efforts to raise their children through the Japanese language while navigating a linguistically diverse social context. The study found that the families engaged in highly valued metalinguistic discourse for devising and implementing family language policies. This was seen as essential for successful HL development. It was found that their contextual environment had several positive and negative impacts on the mothers' parenting experiences and generated significant stress, but also provided inspiration for pursuing their HL goals. The article concludes with implications for research and knowledge mobilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research objective that we want to explore concerns the phenomenon of mixed marriages in Italy. Indeed, in the last years (especially from EU enlargement in 2007), Italian territory is characterized, for its geographical and cultural position, to be one of the European countries with the largest number of foreign residents: suffice it to say that from 2008 to 2016 the increase is equal to +46.4 percentage points. To this purpose, through secondary data analysis from National Institute for Statistics (ISTAT) database, we examine the unions between couples formed by both foreign citizens or by a immigrant and an autochthonous in Italy from 2008 to 2016 focusing the attention on following four specific variables: area of origin, educational level, type of rite and type of marriage. In conclusion, this phenomenon is particularly relevant because it allows to look into the state of integration and inclusion of foreign presence in Italy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the article is to identify the historical features of the inter-ethnic marriages among the Tatars. The number of such marriages has increased significantly during the Soviet era. The problem of mixed marriages during the imperial period has never been researched in historical prospective before. The study of this aspect of the social history of Tatars can help to identify the distribution channels of European culture and integration of Muslims into Russian society. Through the analysis of clerical correspondence, periodical press, Tatar journalism and literature of 19th – 20th centuries, the author concludes that this social problem increased during that period of time. Mixed marriages with representatives of other religions have spread among the Muslim Tatars in the period of bourgeois reforms of the 19th century. They were caused by the processes of transition from the traditional to modernized lifestyle and changes in the value system. In the early 20th century this question was considered as one of the social problems and was actively discussed on the pages of the Tatar press, it became a topic of focuse in works of literature. Mixed marriages were a result of the family crisis in the Muslim community.

Russian Language teaching of the children from mixed families leads to their successful adaptation in the receiving society, contrariwise, the feeling of being Russian make some times their occurrence to the another culture surrounding difficult. In the situation of multilinguistic Moroccan society, the core language plays the role of the social marker and often specifies the personal features and future, profession and even the place of the person in the world. As for the Russian mothers, they try to communicate to their children in the native language and to conserve it within the family during their whole life for the sake of the mutual understanding and respect, sympathy and loyalty.Not only the mixed families, but also teachers, social organizations of Russian compatriots and the Russian government institutions in Morocco play a positive role in the maintaining of the Russian language and culture in this society.

This essay illustrates situations in actual parish life in the diaspora, between juridical presumptions and everyday practice. Juridical grounds are based on canonical law of the Orthodox Church as well as on the Constitution and Acts of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which were formed between the World Wars and in the postwar period, thus being prepared for the multicultural surroundings of Yugoslavia. Multiculturalism is particularly accented in the diaspora. The text describes the juridical procedure and its consequences in parish life and gives a statistical overview of a parish in the diaspora.

In this article, I analyze how the mainstream media in Israel, increasingly shaped by social media, constructs a story about a mixed marriage between an Israeli woman, who was raised as Jewish and had converted to Islam, and a Israeli Muslim-Arab man. Referring to 57 items published mainly in August 2014 (during the Third Gaza War), a "human rights," a "Romeo and Juliette," and an "assimilation" discourses are identified. Mixedness appears as part of the democratization of Israel in the first and second discourses; in the third one, mixedness appears as a threat to the Jewish state. The growing impact of the new media is also referred to. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the presented study is to determine the importance of group identity in creating mixed marriages. We will examine what is the attitude to belonging to a group when choosing a spouse, which categories people consider important when grouping partners and themselves into particular groups and which groups they consider recommended or unacceptable in their marital preferences and why. We will try to answer these questions on the basis of a questionnaire survey realized among the inhabitants of Slovak town Prievidza. The research results demonstrated the importance of group identity when choosing a partner, showing the preference of a partner from the same or a similar group, also suggesting the existence of specific groups which the respondents strongly oppose to in partner preferences.

Background: Immigrants and their descendants often marry a co-ethnic partner despite the abundance of native-born marriage candidates. The prevalence of co-ethnic marriages and intermarriage among migrants is influenced by their integration level and cultural background as much as individual preferences and structural factors. Objective: This paper expands existing literature on intermarriage by analysing first marriages across European countries, distinguishing marriage type (endogamous versus exogamous) and migrant generations (immigrants versus their descendants). Methods: Data from seven countries was aggregated using the count-data method and was subsequently pooled and analysed together; first, to estimate unadjusted first marriage rates; second, to calculate marriage risks separately by marriage type; and, finally, to directly compare the risk of exogamous and endogamous marriage. Results: There are substantial differences in the prevalence of co-ethnic marriage and intermarriage across the migrant groups. Migrants from non-EU countries often show a high prevalence of co-ethnic marriages and a low risk of intermarriage, whereas migrants from neighbouring countries show a relatively high risk of intermarriage. Conclusions: Ethnic background and early socialisation have strong impacts on the partner choice of migrants and their descendants. The results suggest a strong influence of minority subcultures for some migrant groups, but also intergenerational adaptation processes for others. Contribution: This paper provides an up-to-date comparison of intermarriage rates across seven European countries and two migrant generations, presenting evidence of both similarities and differences across countries.

Family reunification has become a major component of third-countries immigration in France as in other European countries. Today, the flow of foreigners married to a French is the most important family migration flow. But who are these French spouses? The answer cannot be given by usual data on migration flows. Fortunately, in 2006, a survey (DREES 2006) has brought data on the ‘French spouses’ profiles for the first time. Most of them happen to have a foreign background, usually related to the country of the foreign migrant. More than 50% of these French of foreign origin are in fact born in France. These migrations related to endogamic practises are strongly rooted in the Algerian family migration, which belongs to the oldest Maghrebian flow. The country of marriage is more influenced by the country of birth of the parents’ French spouse than by the country of birth of the latter. A marriage with a French spouse whom two parents are born in the immigrant’s country is most often celebrated in this country, even if the French spouse is born in France. Finally, a significant proportion of « mixed » marriages (by nationality), have they been celebrated in France or abroad, have fed the flows of migrants for a « French-spouse » motive. It is particularly true for French‑Maghrebian marriages. This calls into question the use of vital statistics on mixed marriages by nationality to describe the integration process.

HOLINESS , *INTERMARRIAGE - Abstract
This essay is a social-scientific study of Paul's deployment of holiness language in 1 Corinthians. Specifically, an interpretation of holiness is offered to explain Paul's argument in 1 Cor 7.12–16 in favour of non-separation in the case of a believer married to a non-believer. For Paul, holiness involves participation in the oneness of God interpreted christologically. This participation is embodied in the holiness-as-oneness of the church. In relations between believers and unbelievers, purity rules to do with sex and marriage carry a significant symbolic burden. In some cases, clear lines of demarcation are drawn. Other cases constitute grey areas; and the suggestion here is that ‘mixed marriages’ are one such. For Paul, holiness is a matter of neither genealogical nor cultic purity. Rather, it has a boundary-transcending quality. In the case of a mixed marriage, the unbelieving partner, together with the children, is sanctified by remaining in oneness with the believing partner. Paul's concern for the oneness of the church spills over into a concern for the oneness of the household. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on intermarriage until now has focused mainly on the challenging nature of interculturality and on the adaptation strategies of migrant spouses. As a consequence, native-born partners’ change in an intercultural family environment has been scarcely envisioned. What we suggest in this study of mixed couples in Spain is a necessary turn on the positive aspects of cross-cultural communication and on in-couple learning dynamics, which develop in the process of mutual intercultural adaptation. Our purpose is to shed light on cross-border love as a space of self-transformation where the original forms of dialogue and hyphenated social identities are built. Mixed couples have shown to be valuable cases for exploring and exemplifying dynamics of cosmopolitanism on a micro level. The results of this study provide empirical evidence to support the theory of critical cosmopolitanism and cross-cultural adaptation and transformation theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. Ethnicisation, Marriage and Early Christian Identity: Critical Reflections on 1 Corinthians 7, 1 Peter 3 and Modern New Testament Scholarship.

CHRISTIAN identity , *PRIMITIVE & early church, ca. 30-600 , *MARRIAGE , *ETHNICITY , *JEWISH identity - Abstract
In the discipline of New Testament studies there are particular reasons for critical vigilance concerning the ways in which historical reconstructions can be shaped by a sense of both religious and ethnic or racial superiority. This risk applies specifically to the contrasting depictions of Judaism and Christianity, and it is notable that, despite the changing phases of scholarship, the tendency to replicate a dichotomy between an ethnically particular Judaism and a universal, open, trans-ethnic Christianity persists. As one facet of a critical consideration of this dichotomy, this essay considers two specific texts that contribute to the ethnicisation of early Christian identity: 1 Corinthians 7 and 1 Peter 3. In the former, Paul develops two principles that are significant in the ethnicisation process: endogamy as norm for the contraction of marriage (1 Cor 7.39) and the assumption that children with a Christian parent (even in a so-called 'mixed marriage') are part of the Christian community (1 Cor 7.14). The later household codes further develop this idea that the household is a place for the reproduction and generation of Christian identity. In 1 Pet 3.1-6, part of the letter's household code where mixed marriage is again an issue, two features of the text are of particular interest: its focus on a 'way of life' (á v a o r p o ') and the connections drawn between conduct and ancestry. In both of these respects, 1 Peter seems to be constructing a form of group-identity that shares features in common with Jewish notions of group-belonging in the period. The 'ethnicising' features of these texts raise questions about any categorical contrast between Jewish ethnicity and Christian inclusive trans-ethnicity. Why then is such a depiction of the Christian achievement - which in many ways parallels depictions of modern Western political liberalism - so enduring and appealing within the discipline? It is suggested that the answer must be sought in the religious and ethnic or racial location of that scholarly tradition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
