“…Other studies disclosed that different test has been used by countries to determine genuineness of marriage for cross-border couples to grant citizenship. In Danish, 7 years (Fernandez, 2019; Fernandez & Jensen, 2014; Kim & Vang, 2020); in Canada, consummation (Challborn & Harder, 2019). This is because the naturalization status granted can be revoked upon divorce.…”

Cross-border marriages have been found to be associated with domestic violence due to the migration experiences of the couples concerned and the stress experienced before, during, and after migration, despite local and international legislation on domestic violence. A systematic review using the PRISMA Statement was conducted to examine the relationship between domestic violence and cross-border marriages among cross-border wives from Asian countries. Six databases—Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online, Scopus, Web of Science, Sage Journals, and Springer Online library, were used in the research which found 179 articles for eligibility and 58 articles were finally used in the review. To be included, studies must have addressed domestic violence and cross-border marriage among Asians, report qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods, addressed the RQs, been published in polished English between 2010 and 2020 and published in a reputable journal with high impact factor. The systematic review found that immigration status, citizenship, culture, language barrier, diversity/intersectionality, age, and economic dependence are the risk factors for domestic violence, which leads effects such as divorce or separation, racism, loneliness, loss of identity & inheritance, stigma, abandonment, and discrimination. Yet these cross-border wives resorted to NGOs, social & religious groups, and traditional beliefs as coping strategies. The review suggests that legislations on domestic violence should be amended to include a definition of the rights of immigrant women, and the plight of cross-border wives, which should be protected. It is also imperative to propose favorable laws and policies regarding immigration status and citizenship for these cross-border couples.

“…With some important exceptions (e.g. Kim and Vang 2020), the scholarship on marriage migration and citizenship in the Asian context is largely focused on the policy effects of restricting citizenship gains and has given less attention to how marriage migrants negotiate the paradox of being admitted into gender-specific (and often maternal) membership of the family vis-à-vis non-or partial membership of the nation-state. While there is a broader literature on migration, motherhood and citizenship (mainly situated in western contexts) that foregrounds migrant mothers' agentic capacity to disrupt hegemonic notions of citizenship and group belonging through their 'carework' and 'culturework' (Erel 2013;Longman, De Graeve, and Brouckaert 2013), the literature drawing on marriage migration in Asia tends to focus on women's constrained roles within the family and limited purchase in making citizenship gains.…”

While mixed marriage can act as a 'facilitator of integration' for migrants, feminist scholars have argued that in Asia, pathways to citizenship for marriage migrants are precariously ridden with negotiations around gender, ethnicity, nationality and class. In this context, the family sphere lies between the individual migrant and the state, and features as a strategic site where citizenship categories take effect on migrant lives on the one hand, and where citizenship claims are mediated, negotiated and contested on the other. Drawing on two ethnographic studies of Southeast Asian women marrying Singaporean men belonging to lower socioeconomic strata, we show how the host nation-state's hierarchical control interacts with family processes in producing marriage migrants as partial citizens with limited rights to work, residency and citizenship. We also demonstrate how marriage migrants find leverage in negotiating the paradox of being responsible affinal subjects of the family and partial citizens of the nation-state.
