“…Tribalat (1987) showed that in the Federal Republic of Germany only marriages between German women and Turkish or Yugoslav men displayed higher rates of divorce than other co-ethnic marriages and mixed ethnic marriages. In California, Maneker and Rankin (1988) found that the divorce propensity was higher only in marriages between Black men and White women. Schwertfeger (1982) was the first to use panel data, following a 1968 cohort of first marriages among residents in Hawaii to 1976.…”

The increasing proportion of ethnic minorities in Britain has been paralleled by an increase in the occurrence of mixed ethnic marriages between one White partner and an ethnic minority partner. Such marriages are thought to be at higher risk of divorce, but empirical studies so far have been inconclusive. This paper uses the Office for National Statistics longitudinal study for England and Wales to investigate whether mixed ethnic unions are more likely to end in divorce than co-ethnic unions. We followed married couples in 1991 to 2001 and examined their risks of divorce. We found evidence that mixed ethnic unions have a higher risk of dissolution than co-ethnic unions. However, after controlling for partners' characteristics, most importantly the younger ages of people in mixed ethnic unions, the risk of divorce for mixed ethnic unions was no longer elevated, but lay close to the higher risk found for the two constituent co-ethnic unions.

“…Research using this perspective focused on determining whether and which cross-group marriages were most likely to dissolve. Early literature (e.g., Cheng & Yamamura, 1957, whose sample included all ages utilizing vital statistics) and more recent literature have found that cross-panethnic marriages have greater rates of divorce (Rankin & Maneker, 1987, whose sample included all ages utilizing vital statistics), although there may be differences by specific panethnicity and panethnic combinations in terms of stability. For example, using samples (ages ranged from 18-44) from the years 1990-2001, Zhang and Van Hook (2009) found that interracial marriages involving African Americans were the most likely to separate, followed by Latinos/as.…”

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia (1967), the landmark civil rights case that invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage in the United States, this review describes the field's past and future directions for studying interracial romantic relationships. We briefly present history, theories, and research about interracial and interethnic romantic relationships, and provide suggestions for future research. We also highlight the need for flexible racial and ethnic categories as demographics and distinctions shift in the United States by proposing the use of adaptable panethnic (a set of related ethnic groups that have been combined and collectively labeled) categories, rather than racial categories, or the use of more specific ethnic or nationality categories depending on a variety of factors. Finally, we discuss multiracial and multiethnic individuals in the research on romantic relationships, acknowledging that multiracial and multiethnic individuals are both the offspring of such unions and a rapidly growing demographic.

“…African Americans may be more predisposed to divorce due to the higher prevalence of social characteristics that have been associated with marital instability, such as first marriages at younger ages and poverty (Teachman 1986). Rankin and Maneker (1988) found that marriages that involve African American husbands and Caucasian wives were much shorter in duration and had fewer or no children. In addition, both partners were likely to have attained relatively high levels of education and husbands were more likely to have been married previously.…”
