La polygamie pose à la fois et tacitement, par son existence et ses actions symboliques, et explicitement, par le discours et les théories qu’elle produits ou auxquelles elle donne lieu, à un certain nombre de questions qui sont parmi les plus importantes de mon étude des sciences sociales, et, pour certaines, tout à fait nouvelles. Cette institution de révolte contre une forme particulière de violence symbolique, outre qu’elle fait exister des objets d’analyse nouveaux , met en question très profondément l’ordre symbolique en vigueur et pose de manière tout à fait radicale la question des fon

La nature de l’institution ou du contrat de mariage a vécu un changement fondamental pendant les dernières années en France et au Canada. Dans une première étape, la thèse analyse pourquoi au Canada et en France les législateurs ne permettent pas la polygamie après avoir libéralisé presque tous les autres aspects du mariage. Deuxièmement, la recherche démontre que la prohibition de la polygamie cause plusieurs effets sur les droits personnels et sur les droits fondamentaux qui sont parfois corrigés par la législation en acceptant la relation polygamique pour ces fins spécifiques.Finalement, la

Abstract:

This thesis is about the boundaries of domestic immigration law and international human rights regarding polygamy. It considers how polygamous wives are treated, and why. Polygamy has traditionally been viewed in the West as ‘harmful’, both to women and society. Western legal systems do not allow domestic plural marriage, and international human rights institutions recommend the prohibition of polygamy. Despite that, valid foreign polygamous marriages are recognised in the United Kingdom, particularly where it would be more harmful to do otherwise—except in immigration. The Immigration Act 198

Marriage serves as a license to engage in (otherwise illicit) sexual desires by rendering them “halal” or lawful in the eyes of Islam and Malay adat (traditions).

Abstract:

Historians have typically interpreted Mormon polygamy in nineteenth-century America through the lens of religious doctrine. This study takes a cultural approach and examines polygamous practice during its formative period in the 1850s by looking closely at two families, the Hales and the Heywoods. Private diaries, letters, and other family papers were used to reconstruct their relationships and analysis sheds light on how they viewed the marriages. The lived experiences of these Mormon pioneers show that polygamy was experimental. Men and women drew on traditional marital values such as domest

Abstract:

Traditionally, in Nigeria women play a subservient role in relation to men. While a man can practice polygamy by marrying many wives, women cannot marry more than one husband at a time. Although researchers have documented the effects of polygamy on the spread of HIV/AIDS, little is known about the experiences of polygamy by Nigerian women who stopped practicing polygamy by immigrating to the United States without their husbands. It is important to know the experiences of these women as they pertain specifically to the spread of HIV/AIDS so as to develop a preventive intervention for HIV/AIDS

This thesis focuses on the life of one woman, Amy Teresa Leavitt Richardson, who employed practical jokes, humor, and the assertion of will to cross gendered social boundaries and appropriate decision-making authority. At a time when the Cult of True Womanhood prevailed in America at large, confining females to the domestic sphere, Teresa claimed space for herself as a Mormon woman in her patriarchal church and male-run village. Within the liminal wilderness spaces of the West and the liminal psychological and social spheres where men and women tried to hammer out day-to-day living arrangement

Many factors affect the fertility level of women, and the type of marital union of a woman is one of these factors. The sub-thesis investigates the fetility differentials among women in monogamous unions and women in polygynous unions. It makes use of two data sets collected among the Yoruba women of Western Nigeria. The first survey was conducted in Ibadan and the second survey was conducted in Ibadan and Western Nigeria. Both surveys were conducted in 1973. The analysis of the two data sets indicates that the educational level, religion and age of a woman are some of the factors that

Abstract:

The issue of polygamy has become a political problem in the last twenty years in Canada, and in British Columbia specifically, because of legal ambiguity regarding the constitutionality of Canada's anti-polygamy law. This problem has been approached by academics primarily through a legal negotiation of women's rights versus religious minority rights. Popular polygamy discourse, however, is largely informed by a debate within the print media over core Canadian values regarding sexuality. This thesis examines the unequal power dynamics that serve as the preconditions for this debate and that

Polygamy is a collective name for marriages where a person is married to several people at the same time.

Her daily diaries culminate with the court trial of her husband for illegal cohabitation in September 1887. At the trial, she testified falsely, stating that she had been separated from her husband since the beginning of 1883, when in fact the couple did not separate until May of 1885.

Both novels describe the African society and the obstacles that exist for women in this society where men dominate. This study presents the transformation of Ramatoulaye that is a traditional and passive woman but she becomes modern. In addition, it presents the transformation of young Aïssatou that becomes an independent and strong woman, in these two novels. These two women are facing similar forms of discriminations and op

Abstract:

My thesis consists of a novel in stories, each taking place in or around the fictional town of Rose, Oregon. The thesis tells, in non-chronological order, the story of the Slaughter family, a group of polygamists founded by Blackstone Slaughter, and in particular the family's women: Blackstone's wife, Jestyn, and their son Colt's five wives, Alma, Kayo, Larina, Josephine, and Laddy. An additional story, "Rabbit Starvation," set not within the Slaughter compound but within the town of Rose, adds further perspective.

Abstract:

Le XXIe siècle se veut un siècle de la promotion et la protection des personnes vulnérables et de la lutte contre la discrimination. La communauté internationale s’intéresse davantage à la condition problématique de la femme et de l’enfant en tant que facteur révélateur de l’état global d’avancée sociale de la société. Or, l’Afrique demeure le continent ou le nombre de personnes vulnérables est le plus important de la planète. L’Organisation de l’Unité Africaine en son temps et l’Union Africaine ont déjà fait montre de leur engagement à s’attaquer aux problèmes concernant les femmes et les enf

Abstract:

Šis darbas yra skirtas banguotųjų papūgėlių veisimosi sistemos, kintant lyčių santykiui grupėje, tyrimams. Tyrimų rezultatai rodo, kad vyraujanti veisimosi sistema banguotųjų papūgėlių grupėje su vienodu lyčių santykiu, grupėje esant patinų trūkumui ir grupėje, kurioje trūksta patelių, yra monogamija. Poligamijos atveju, poliginiški patinai vieną savo patelių – dominantę - maitina geriau negu kitą, nedominuojančią patelę. Kopuliacijos su ne savo poros nariu yra retos. Patelės kopuliuoja su tais patinais, kurie geriausiai jas maitina. Ištirta, kad dominuojančios patelės veisiasi geriau negu ned
