A Study on the Marriage Custom Changes of Oroqen Nationality: From an Ethnological Perspective | Chapter 7 | Anthropological Explorations of Gender, Identity, and Economics

Marriage, one of the most critical elements in the development of society, is also the key component in the construction of national culture (Ai Qin,1986). Moreover, the study of marriage changes has been one of the hottest topics in ethnology research (Wang Jun and Zhang Jianjun, 2010). This study explores the marriage custom changes of Oroqen nationality over time since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Specifically, the study will focus on exploring the changes in the Oroqen intermarriage circle and the marriage tie process. Meanwhile, based on literature review research, this text applies the Social Changes Theory of Karl Marx, proceeds from the vision of Ethnology, analyzes Oroqen Marriage changes, and probes into the original cause and tendency of such changes. The research explores the natural causes that lead to Oroqen marriage changes, which will benefit national and ethnic policies and build a harmonious society between Han Nationality and other Chinese minorities.

A Frozen Flower | Book Publisher International

 A Frozen Flower represents today's marriage, in which some people enter into hurried marriages based on wealth, education, and other material criteria, resulting in family disintegration, divorce, or death as a result of parental pressure and meddling in their children's love lives. In this play, Clementine finds herself in a similar circumstance. Despite her feelings for Simon, her family pressures her to betray him and marry Gakire in exchange for a large bride payment and other benefits derived from the forced marriage. The couple's existence came to an end in a tragic death and devastation. Such an event casts a bleak shadow over love in the minds of betrayed people like Simon, who have abandoned and rejected all things love-related.

Study on HIV Prevention, Infertility and Concordance in Partner Selection among Couples Living with HIV and AIDS in Rural and Peri-Urban Contexts in Botswana | Chapter 8 | Research Trends and Challenges in Medical Science Vol. 10

 Using qualitative research techniques, this paper investigates marital partner selection and the significance of fertility status among HIV-positive couples. This research was carried out in Botswana's Maun and Gaborone regions, where patrilineal marriage customs are prevalent and both civil and traditional marriage practises are practised. After new civil marriages and where HIV status was positive for both spouses, data was obtained from 32 respondents using in-depth interviews. The findings of the study show that HIV status has a social impact on the marriage partners chosen by HIV-positive couples. However, once new marital relationships are established based on HIV status compatibility, the cultural value of fertility and childbearing remains paramount, and unprotected sex rates remain high. Even when they were aware of mother-to-child transmission and increased viral loads in their own bodies, HIV positive and concordant couples engaged in unprotected sex in order to affirm positive social status through reproductive success. The importance of understanding cultural norms surrounding fertility desires and fears of infertility in developing effective HIV prevention programmes is demonstrated in this paper. In a context where HIV infection rates have remained high, HIV concordant couples still pursue fertility success with partners, and this paper adds to the literature on both partner selection with regard to HIV status and the importance of qualitative investigation to elucidate cultural challenges to HIV prevention. In order to help inform policies in the development of evidence-based preventive measures in Botswana with respect to people living with HIV and AIDS, the paper concludes with additional suggestions for recognising the frequently ignored cultural significance of infertility in areas with elevated HIV infection rates.
