Marriages among people with disabilities in 19th-century Sweden: marital age and spouse’s characteristics

ABSTRACT

While marrying was an expected event in 19th-century Western society and has been subject to much historical research, there are few studies on how disabilities influenced people’s marriage patterns and spouse selection. The aim of this analysis is to contribute clarification on this issue by examining with whom disabled men and women married and the marital age and socio-demographic characteristics of them and their spouses. In total, 188 disabled individuals born in the first half of the 19th century and who married in the Sundsvall region, Sweden, are studied. The results reveal that disabled men and women did not marry each other, and they entered into marriage at a slightly higher age than the average, although there was usually no marked age gap between them and their spouse. Endogamous patterns were primarily found regarding the socio-spatial background of the two spouses. This analysis is one of the few studies identifying the marriages among a comparatively large number of disabled people using demographic data. Their participation in the partner pool highlight their agency historically and emphasize that disability did not lead to distance from social life in past society.

提高婚检率对策探究

婚检涉及社会公共利益,并不纯粹是个人问题;婚检是落实婚姻法的有效手段,发现疾病隐患的重要途径,减少出生缺陷和残疾发生的有效措施;婚检给男女双方以知情权,是提高婚姻质量、促进家庭幸福的重要保证。然强制婚检取消后,婚检率急剧下降。免费婚检的实行,使婚检率有一定提高,但幅度并不大。应对＂医学上认为不应当结婚的疾病＂的种类、范围作出具体规定;加大宣传力度;打破垄断;明确收费标准;强化服务意识、提高服务质量;优化婚检环境、规范婚检过程;保护当事人的隐私;加强对婚检机构的管理和监督。

满族传统婚姻家庭法文化研究

满族作为中华民族56个民族大家庭中的一员,在悠久的历史长河中留下了光辉的足迹,扮演了十分重要的角色。它不仅建立了一个中央政权,还统治中国长达二百余年,为中华民族的政治统一、领土完整、经济发展和文化进步做出了巨大贡献。如今随着社会的交流、融合和发展,居住在城市的满族人的民族特点正在逐渐消亡,因此寻找满族曾经的痕迹和拯救满族的传统文化具有深远的意义,力图从法文化分析的角度出发来剖析满族传统婚姻家庭中各种制度背后所蕴含的文化理念。
