羌族是一个人口众多、传统悠久的民族,现在主要居住在四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州的汶川、理县、茂县以及绵阳市的北川县、平武县等地。据2005年的官方统计,户籍登记为羌族的人口约为32.65万。在2008年"5·12"特大地震灾难中,羌族人口损失将近10%。羌族地区至今仍保留着以原始宗教,万物有灵,多种信仰的灵物崇拜为核心的民事习惯,婚姻习惯是其非常重要的内容之一。"5·12"地震后,羌族人的婚姻习惯法有了较大程度的变化,从形式到实质都更加符合国家法的理念与要求,这无疑是羌族社会文明发展的重大进步。

Qiang is a populous nation with a long tradition, living chiefly in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Wenchuan, Lixian, Maoxian and Beichuan, Pingwu of Mianyang, Sichuan. According to official statistics in 2005, the population of Qiang in the household registration is about 326500. In ＂ 5.12＂ earthquake disaster in 2008, the Qiang＇s population lost almost 10%. Qiang still retains the primitive religion, animism and interfaith worship as the core of custom; the marriage custom is one of the very important content. After the ＂5.12＂ earthquake, Qiang＇s marriage customary laws have greatly changed, both in form and substance, to line with the concept and requirements of the national law. This is undoubtedly Qiang＇ s great progress of social civilization development.
