在欧洲，一夫多妻制经常被描绘成穆斯林中不变的父权传统的象征。相比之下，基于对英国的巴基斯坦人和丹麦的土耳其人的研究，我们探索了在移民和跨国主义背景下一夫多妻制的转变方式。与移民有关的一夫多妻制在巴基斯坦和土耳其移民到欧洲的先驱世代的叙述中具有特色，但也有证据表明，当代多重婚姻的做法多种多样，并且由于跨国移民的特定条件而产生了一夫多妻制的新排列。国家内部和国家之间并存的法律制度；配偶和解的机会；多重婚姻愿望；跨国联系和地理距离共同创造了一系列一夫多妻制的机会和动机，包括一些“技术上的”一夫多妻制在实践中掩盖了一夫一妻制的情况。
In Europe, polygamy is often portrayed as emblematic of unchanging patriarchal traditions among Muslims. In contrast, based on research with Pakistanis in Britain and Turks in Denmark, we explore ways in which polygamy is transformed in the context of migration and transnationalism. Migration-related polygamy features in accounts of the pioneer generations of Pakistani and Turkish migrants to Europe, but there is also evidence of great variety in contemporary practices of multiple marriage, and new permutations of polygamy arising due to the specific conditions of transnational migration. Coexisting legal systems within and between nations; the opportunities of spousal settlement; multiple marital aspirations; and both transnational connections and geographical distance combine to create opportunities and motivations for a range of polygamous situations, including some in which ‘technical’ polygamy masks monogamy in practice.
