Women and the age gap between spouses: an accepted domination?

"Why do the couples formed today, with a [possible] range of unions which did not exist in the past, perpetuate the conventional image of a younger woman with an older man? [The author] examines this question from the angle of the social significance of age for men and women at the time when they decide to form a couple. He relates this to their background and situation at that time, in particular with respect to education and employment." Data are from a 1986 family history survey conducted in France.

The future of woman's own name and the transformation of family structures.

The author explores "the changes in attitude [in France] which may have accompanied the recent anti-marriage trend mirrored by the spread of unmarried cohabitation and divorce. She has chosen to investigate opinions in France concerning a secularly one-sided aspect of the marriage system: almost all women take their husband's name when they marry and children are automatically given only their father's name....We...look for signs of change: first, cohortwise, by examining age-specific differences in attitude; second, change related to social groups and the diffusion of new opinions....Finally, we compare these results with data from preceding surveys and suggest what the prospects may be for woman's name."

The form of marriage in Europe: civil ceremony, religious ceremony. Survey and trends.

The author examines trends in the distribution of civil and religious marriage ceremonies in Europe over time. Information is provided on marriages among different religious groups in Central, Southern, and Northern Europe. "In many countries the proportion of religious marriages is declining, in others it shows little change, while in others it is on the increase.... In some countries their decline precedes that in the total number of marriages, in others it follows it, while in others the two movements coincide. Hypotheses have been advanced to explain these different developments, based on the socio-political and institutional contexts. These contexts can now usefully be reviewed, not in order to make forecasts, but to indicate the course of possible future developments."
