Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Anthropology
  • Demography

Background:

  • Marriage patterns in developing societies are complex and evolving.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for social and economic development analysis.
  • Thailand presents a unique case study for examining shifts in marital traditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the diversity and complexity of marriage patterns in central Thailand.
  • To identify different forms of marriage and their prevalence across various settings.
  • To explore the influence of socioeconomic status and education on marriage choices.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from ever-married women aged 15-44 in 1978-1979.
  • Inclusion of three distinct settings: a rural village, established urban areas, and a squatter settlement in Bangkok.

  • Identification and analysis of three primary marriage entry forms: ceremonial with parental involvement, ceremonial with self-choice, and non-ceremonial unions.

    • Main Results:

    • All three marriage forms were present in each surveyed setting, with varying dominance.
    • Higher socioeconomic status correlated with increased likelihood of ceremonial marriage and parental involvement.
    • Increased daughter's education was linked to ceremonial marriage but decreased parental involvement in spouse selection.

    Conclusions:

    • Marriage patterns in Thailand exhibit significant diversity, influenced by socioeconomic and educational factors.
    • These diverse patterns are likely to persist despite ongoing societal development.
    • The study underscores the multifaceted nature of social change in marital institutions.
