基于在巴基斯坦的海尔布尔地区的民族志研究，本文探讨了近亲婚姻仍然是农村巴基斯坦人的首选，这些婚姻是中央的亲属制度，并用于加强亲属集团内的联系。我试图探索的解释不足的因素，使近亲婚姻如此强烈的父系和家长制的巴基斯坦农村亲属制度的青睐。我认为，近亲婚姻提供社会以及经济利益的村民，并满足他们的社会保障，国家未能提供的需要，但携带相当大的成本为妇女。尽管如此，女性自己也喜欢这种婚姻。我探讨这种矛盾的关系，在一个强烈的父权制的性别秩序中的妇女领导的约束生活。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Based on an ethnographic study in the Khairpur region of Pakistan, this article examines consanguineous marriages which remain the preferred choice among rural Pakistanis; these marriages are central to the kinship system and are used to strengthen ties within the kin group. I seek to explore the under-explained factors that make consanguineous marriages so strongly favored in the patrilineal and patriarchal kinship system of rural Pakistan. I argue that close kin marriages offer social as well as economic benefits to the villagers and fulfill their need for social security, which the state fails to provide, but carry considerable costs for women. Despite this, women themselves favor these marriages. I explore this paradox in relation to the constrained lives women lead within a strongly patriarchal gender order. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
