本文基于实地调查和对族内跨国夫妇进行的采访，介绍了从土耳其到德国的婚姻移民过程分析的精选结果。研究结果表明，由于这些跨国夫妇之间的空间距离以及规范配偶移民德国的立法，这些跨国夫妇的关系具有特殊性。婚礼仪式与当地婚礼不同，因为婚礼的时间间隔根据获得家庭团聚签证所需采取的步骤进行调整。婚姻移民在土耳其参加语言课程以准备强制性考试的这段时间压力特别大。通过将对婚姻过程的时间方面的分析与参与这些关系的个人的看法和评价相结合，本文提供了移民前时期跨国亲密关系动态的详细描述。
This article presents selected results from the analysis of marriage migration processes from Turkey to Germany, based on fieldwork and interviews conducted with intraethnic transnational couples. The findings indicate that the relationships of these transnational couples are marked by specificities due to the spatial distance between them and the legislation regulating spousal immigration to Germany. The marriage rituals differ from local marriages as the temporal spacing of events is adapted to the steps that have to be taken in order to obtain a family unification visa. The period during which the marriage migrant attends a language course in Turkey to prepare for the obligatory exam is particularly stressful. By combining the analysis of temporal aspects of marriage processes with perceptions and evaluations of individuals who are engaged in these relationships, the article provides a fine-grained picture of the dynamics of transnational intimate relationships in the premigration period.
