Married by Force
This testimony exposes the realities of forced marriage. Leila tells of how she was brought up in France by Moroccan-born parents and then forcibly married to a man 15 years her senior whose language she couldn't understand. She tells how she escaped the violence of this marriage to fight back against family tradition.
The Marriage Motive: A Price Theory of Marriage
While this book contains numerous facts and empirical findings and touches on policy issues, its main contribution to the existing literature lies in the theoretical perspective it offers. The core of this book is a general equilibrium theory of labor and marriage presented in Chapter 2, which provides the conceptual framework for the rest of the chapters. Two major implications of the theory are sex ratio effects and compensating differentials in marriage. The book demonstrates how a few core concepts, linked via economic analysis, help explain a multitude of findings based on statistical analyses of data from a wide variety of cultures. It is hoped that readers of this book will improve their understanding of how marriage works to help us design better economic and social policies as well as help people live better and happier lives, making the book of interest to not only economists but sociologists and anthropologists as well.
