“…men in border provinces sometimes travel abroad to personally select their bride; in other cases, they work through middlemen to acquire "mail-order brides." Both ethnographic research and some press reports suggest that many women from these countries are eager to marry men they perceive as wealthier than men in their home countries (Belanger, lee, and wang 2010). in poor interior provinces, interviews suggest the scarcity of marriageable women has given rise to culturally despised forms of union, including polyandrous arrangements (yiqi duofu) in which the wife of one man informally services several others.…”

“…Of these marriages with non-Japanese spouses, 73% were between Japanese men and marriage migrant women (Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 2013). In Taiwan, "a third of all marriages registered in 2003 involved a foreign spouse, and marriage migrants, and 13% of children born that year had mothers born outside of Taiwan" (Bélanger et al, 2010(Bélanger et al, : 1111.

“…There is a wish to escape a rural life or to start a new life, a perceived lack of a future, the desire for an opportunity for work outside the home or the need to earn an income and to help the birth family by sending remittances (Bélanger et al, 2010). Combined with this, there is an emerging marriage-migration culture which can impose pressures on women to seek marriage migration.…”

“…Exacerbating this is the strong ideology of 'patriarchy', coupled with an asymmetrical preference of marriage partner by gender (for example, a preference for 'marrying up' for women and for 'marrying down' for men). This has caused a marriage squeeze: women from the upper socio-economic classes give up on marriage to concentrate on their careers instead, while men from the lower socio-economic classes still demand women who are only available from poorer countries (Bélanger et al, 2010;Jones and Shen, 2008;Lee, 2010b).

The Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series covers three important aspects of the migration progress. Firstly, the determinants, dynamics and characteristics of international migration. Secondly, the continuing attachment of many contemporary migrants to their places of origin, signified by the word 'diaspora'. And thirdly, the attempt, by contrast, to belong and gain acceptance in places of settlement, signified by the word 'citizenship'. The series publishes work that shows engagement with and a lively appreciation of the wider social and political issues that are influenced by international migration.
