Family Ties: The Political Genealogy of Shining Path's Comrade Norah

Family was central to the political life of Augusta La Torre (or Comrade Norah), the second‐in‐command of the Peruvian Communist Party‐Shining Path (PCP‐SL). La Torre was the daughter of a Communist Party militant and the granddaughter of a prominent provincial political figure. She was also the wife of Shining Path founder Abimael Guzmán. La Torre's familial history demonstrates the importance of parental and grandparental contributions to Senderistas' political formation, and suggests that parents and children were sometimes united in their support for the Shining Path. La Torre's family ties, however, have also led numerous observers to question her revolutionary credentials.     

Research on Marx and Engels＇ thoughts of marriage and family norms

马克思恩格斯的婚姻家庭规范思想建立在科学的唯物史观的理论基础之上，认为婚姻家庭规范与社会经济发展相适应，它们会随着社会经济结构的变化而变化。婚姻家庭规范的制订以尊重自然规律和社会规律为前提，同时又体现出人的主观意志。资本主义社会的婚姻家庭规范是对婚姻自由的桎梏，而社会主义公有制的经济之下的婚姻家庭规范才是真正体现和保障婚姻自由的合理的好的规范。     

《婚姻法》第 17 条第 4 项立法之商榷———兼论婚后继承或受赠财产的权利属性

《婚姻法》第 17 条第 4 项关于婚后继承或受赠财产原则上为夫妻共同财产的规定，引发了立法、司法和社会生活中的诸多问题。从共同财产认定的法理基础、该条与《婚姻法》第 18 条第 3 项之间的法律困惑、法律在本土化过程中出现的错误、该条存在的法律漏洞以及与相关法律的冲突等角度进行分析，提出废除该条款的立法建议。     

论涉外婚姻关系的法律适用——兼评《涉外民事关系法律适用法》的相关规定

2010年10月28日通过的《涉外民事关系法律适用法》,于2011年4月1日起开始施行。在该法颁布实施之前,我国涉外婚姻家庭案件适用的法律主要是我国《民法通则》第八章:涉外民事关系的法律适用。该法实施之后,我国涉外婚姻家庭案件将以该法为基本的依据。因此,该法的实施,对我国涉外婚姻家庭案件的处理具有重大理论和实践意义。     

浅析婚内强迫性行为的法律规制

对婚内强迫性行为是否应予法律规制，特别是按婚内强奸罪定罪处罚，一直是近年来国内学界争论较多的话题。婚内强奸作为家庭暴力行为的一种主要表现形式，对女性人权，特别是人格尊严和性自由的侵害是不言而喻的。本文从婚内强迫性行为的社会危害性和国外对该行为予以犯罪化处理的趋势出发，提出对婚内强迫性行为应予以法律规制，并宜单独定罪处罚。     

论双方父母赠与夫妻的不动产之归属──对“《婚姻法》司法解释(三)征求意见稿”第8条第2款之我见

根据"《婚姻法》司法解释(三)征求意见稿"第8条第2款的规定,"双方父母赠与夫妻的不动产"被认定为按份共有。这既不符合我国现行《婚姻法》规定的"婚后所得共同制"之精神,也不符合我国的基本国情和《宪法》的基本精神,且不符合私法的价值取向。因此,它是不科学、不合理的,应当对其进行适当修改。     

Marriage and power: Age at first marriage and spousal age gap in lesser developed countries

This paper examines age at first marriage for women and spousal age gap as an indicator for female agency from 1950 to 2005. Using a dataset of 77 LDCs this paper seeks to explore which variables determine differences at a country level in marriage patterns. We look at the influence of urbanisation, education, percentage population of Muslim faith, and family type. We find that education is a key in determining at what age women marry, having as would be expected a positive effect on age at first marriage and depressing spousal age gap. Urbanisation is significant, with a positive effect on age and negative on spousal age gap, although the effect is not very large. The percentage Muslim variable depresses female age at first marriage and increases spousal age gap but only when family type is not controlled for. The initially strong negative effect of percentage population Muslim over the period under consideration on age of first marriage has decreased, which raises some interesting questions about the role of Islam in female empowerment.     

ADOLESCENT VIOLENT VICTIMIZATION AND PRECOCIOUS UNION FORMATION*

This article bridges scholarship in criminology and family sociology by extending arguments about “precocious exits” from adolescence to consider early union formation as a salient outcome of violent victimization for youths. Research indicates that early union formation is associated with several negative outcomes; yet the absence of attention to union formation as a consequence of violent victimization is noteworthy. We address this gap by drawing on life course theory and data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to examine the effect of violent victimization (“street” violence) on the timing of first coresidential union formation—differentiating between marriage and cohabitation—in young adulthood. Estimates from Cox proportional hazard models show that adolescent victims of street violence experience higher rates of first union formation, especially marriage, early in the transition to adulthood; however, this effect declines with age, as such unions become more normative. Importantly, the effect of violent victimization on first union timing is robust to controls for nonviolent delinquency, substance abuse, and violent perpetration. We conclude by discussing directions for future research on the association between violent victimization and coresidential unions with an eye toward the implications of such early union formation for desistance.
