来自巴基斯坦的大量配偶移民是当代英国移民的一个显著特征。本文认为，这种婚姻，这是堂兄弟之间的常见效用，不仅在移民策略或亲属义务方面，但作为在跨国背景下的婚姻的风险谈判的一部分。它侧重于英国妇女和来自巴基斯坦的男子之间的匹配，探讨了婚姻和风险，相关性和地方，亲密和距离的概念化，以解释跨国近亲婚姻的吸引力。但是，尽管这些安排希望减少一些风险，但它们也产生了其他风险，这些风险既来自移民的激励，也来自亲属之间婚姻的内在逻辑。因此，英属巴基斯坦人的婚姻选择以及由此产生的移民可以被视为基于文化的风险对话以及如何最好地管理风险的结果。
The substantial numbers of incoming spousal migrants from Pakistan is a notable feature of contemporary British immigration. This article argues for the utility of viewing such marriages, which are commonly between cousins, not only in terms of migration strategies or kinship obligations, but as part of the negotiation of the risks of marriage in a transnational context. Focusing on matches between British women and men from Pakistan, it explores conceptualizations of marriage and risk, relatedness and place, and closeness and distance, to explain the appeal of transnational close kin marriage. But while these arrangements hope to reduce some risks, they also produce others, generated both by the incentives of migration, and by internal logics of marriages between relatives. Marital choices among British Pakistanis, and resulting migration, can thus be seen as a consequence of a culturally-grounded dialogue on risk and how best it can be managed.
