婚姻习俗与国家在场:新中国成立初期民族地区婚姻纠纷调解机制研究

Marriage Customs and the State's Presence: A Study of the Mediation Mechanism for Marital Disputes in the Ethnic Minority Areas in the Early Period of PRC

审视新中国成立初期民族地区婚姻纠纷的调解机制可看到,一方面,1950年《中华人民共和国婚姻法》与1953年的贯彻《中华人民共和国婚姻法》运动并未在民族地区推行,而是实行了变通的稳定政策,保留了民族地区传统的婚姻调解机制;另一方面,在社会动员的背景下,国家元素影响了民族地区固有的婚姻调解机制,从而为迈向现代型的婚姻与法律关系奠定了基础。在此悖论逻辑的背后,透视出中华人民共和国成立初期中国共产党对民族地区的治理理念,即在保持民族地区相对稳定的前提下,对民族地区社会进行渐进性的改造。

By reviewing the mediation mechanism for marital disputes in the ethnic minority areas in the early period of the People’s Republic of China,we can find that on the one hand,the ＂Marriage Law＂in 1950 and the movement of its implementation in 1953 were not carried out in the ethnic minority areas. The state adopted an alternative stable policy and retained the traditional mediation mechanism for marriages in the ethnic minority areas. On the other hand,against the background of social mobilization,the national elements affected the inherent mediation mechanism for marriages in the ethnic minority areas and thus laid the foundation for moving towards to modern marital and legal relations.This paradoxical logic implied the governance idea of the Communist Party of China in the early period of the PRC,that is,a gradual social transformation in the ethnic minority areas under the premise of maintaining their relative stability.
