作者：陈玉宁；摘要：据台湾官方统计，在2001年至2006年的登记婚姻中，有22.25%是所谓的跨境婚姻，这是由台湾新郎组成的，他们大多没有受过教育，工资低，在当地婚姻市场上没有吸引力的候选人，而他们的外国新娘：年轻，温顺，据称是处女，来自中国和东南亚。婚姻移民的地位是从属的和摇摇欲坠的：她们被描绘成不道德的女人，为了钱而结婚；他们的签证被婚姻绑架了；她们的生育能力受到政府控制，据报道，她们的身体每年遭受5.4万起家庭暴力。全球化带来的高度流动性和自由贸易似乎为发展中国家的女性提供了一项新业务：用自己换取中介机构承诺的错觉，以及不久之后的梦想冲突。相比之下，在2006年，大约65%的台湾女性，年龄在25岁到29岁之间，选择保持单身。台湾女性占劳动力的48.7%。尽管台湾妇女正在获得经济独立和自主权，但她们被指责未能履行最初赋予她们的义务。虽然她们有拒绝婚约的自由，但她们的背叛仍然不可原谅。本文将以台湾女性为视角，检视台湾的商品化婚姻，因为台湾女性过去承担著父权制度强加的生育与家务劳动；外国新娘，现在的责任都外包给了她们；他们所经历的独特的生活经历；他们都在寻求向上的流动；以及他们互相看对方的样子。
Author(s): Chen, Yu Ning; Chin, Mong Hwa | Abstract: According to the official statistics in Taiwan, among the registered marriages between 2001 and 2006, 22.25 percent are the so called cross- border marriages, which are composed of Taiwanese grooms: mostly uneducated, low-waged, less-attractive candidates in local marriage market, and their foreign brides: young, docile, alleged to be virgin, coming from China and south-east Asia. The status of marriage migrant is subordinated and tottering: they are depicted as immoral women who marry for money; their visa kidnapped by their marriages; their fertility controlled by the government, and their bodies undergo 54,000 cases of reported domestic violence per year. The hyper-mobility and free trade that globalization has brought appears to offer women from developing counties a new business: trading themselves for a delusion promised by intermediary agents and the clash of dreams that shortly follows.In contrast, in 2006, about 65 percent of Taiwanese women, in their age between 25 to 29, choose to remain single. Women in Taiwan are responsible for 48.7 percent of the work force. Despite the economic independence and autonomy they are gaining, Taiwanese women are accused of failing to fulfill the obligation originally assigned. While they are allowed the liberty to refuse marital contract, their betrayal remains unforgivable.This paper will scrutinize the commodified marriage in Taiwan, in the perspective of the Taiwanese women, who used to shoulder the childbearing and the domestic labor imposing by patriarchism; the foreign brides, to whom the duties are now outsourced; the distinct life experience they go through; the upward mobility they both seek; and how they look each other.
