尼日利亚的年轻伊博男女越来越坚持选择自己的结婚对象，而关于爱情的观念正在塑造伊博人对婚姻的建构。但是婚姻的生存能力仍然取决于生育能力。这篇文章考察了男人和女人在从浪漫情人的角色（现在通常是求爱的特征）到母亲和父亲的角色（嵌入亲属关系的网络中）的转变过程中所产生的不同后果。
Young Igbo men and women in Nigeria increasingly insist on choosing their marriage partners, and ideas about love are shaping Igbo constructions of marriage. But the viability of marriage still depends on Fertility. This article examines the divergent consequences for men and women as they negotiate the transition from the role of romantic lover that now commonly characterizes courtship to the roles of mother and father, embedded in webs of kinship, that characterize marriage.
