I matrimoni combinati nei contesti d'immigrazione

[Autom. eng. transl.] There are many more young women with immigrant backgrounds who rebel against forced marriages than one might imagine and the outcome of this opposition is sometimes dramatic. The new classification models of acculturation processes have radically restructured the method of analyzing the migratory experience and the behaviors acted by the migrant: in fact, it is the complexity and conflictuality of the migrants' experiences that constitute the framework from which one cannot regardless. And if this is true for migrant parents, it is all the more true for their children, who are committed to defining their own identity, starting from a background that is often not experienced firsthand, but only perceived through the habits and traditions of the family home. Since very often, in the path of acculturation especially of the daughters, the new social context offers visions and family models in antithesis to those of the parents' cultural tradition, a practice such as that of arranged marriage, outside the culture of origin that generated it , from a "consenting" marriage it is transformed, in the eyes of those who see it imposed, into a "forced" one, devoid of that social meaning that made it legitimate in some way.
