Abstract

At least one of every five marriages is consanguineous (between couples who are second cousins or closer) in the Middle East and North Africa, and the rate is higher than 50% in some parts of the world. We find that a Turkish education reform that increased mandatory schooling by 3 years made women less likely to find consanguineous marriage an acceptable practice. The reform reduced women’s propensity to marry a first cousin or a blood relative, and it altered women’s preferences in favor of personal autonomy, indicating that educational attainment alters behaviors and attitudes that may be rooted in culture.

教育与血缘婚姻

在中东和北非，每五次婚姻中至少有一次是近亲结婚（二次或近亲结婚），在世界一些地区，这一比例高于50%。我们发现，土耳其的教育改革将义务教育增加了3年，使妇女不太可能认为近亲结婚是一种可以接受的做法。这项改革降低了女性与表亲或血亲结婚的倾向，并改变了女性对个人自主的偏好，表明受教育程度改变了可能植根于文化的行为和态度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
