云南少数民族家庭结构与婚姻匹配情况调查——以孟连县拉嘎村为例

Investigation Report on the Family Structure and Matching of Marriage of Ethnic Minorities in Yunnan:A Case Study of Laga Village in Menglian County

以孟连县拉嘎村为例,对云南边境地区少数民族的家庭结构、婚姻状况进行调查。结果显示:各少数民族村民小组家庭结构差异不大,主要以核心家庭为主,4~6人的家庭规模最普遍。夫妻年龄匹配以传统的男大女小的匹配模式为主;在受教育程度匹配方面,由于村民普遍受教育程度较低而表现出低水平的同质婚。在考察婚姻形式时,将汉族村民小组纳入比较,结果显示跨境婚姻在各小组普遍存在,跨族和上门婚仅在少数民族村民小组存在,汉族村民小组中则不存在。了解云南边境地区少数民族的婚姻现状和家庭结构,对于进一步理解当地的族群关系、社会发展和文化变迁都具有重要意义。

In this fieldwork carried out in Laga Village,Menglian County,the researcher studies the family structure and marital status.The result shows that there are no significant differences in family structure,most of which are of nuclear families consisting of 4-6 members.As for the age of marriage matching,most couples demonstrate the pattern of'elder husband and younger wife'.In the meanwhile,there is a low level homogeny in educational assortative mating,owing to low educational degree.Besides,the villagers’group of Han ethnics is taken to be compared when investigating the form of marriage,and the outcome presents that the cross-border marriage and live-in marriage only appear in the groups of ethnic minority.It is of great significance to grasp the marital status and family structure of ethnic minorities in border areas of Yunnan,and further understand the local ethnic relations,social development and cultural change.
