TL;DR: In this article, a survey of college students enrolled in the American University of Sharjah (AUS) focusing on their attitudes toward love, marriage, and family, including mate selection, polygamy, family size, and women's participation in the workplace was conducted.
Abstract: Rapid economic development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has triggered innumerable changes in Emirati society. Changes occurring in the social institutions of marriage and family, which are central to Emirati society, reflect shifting attitudes toward traditional gender roles and gender relations that inform some of the essential norms and values in Emirati society. This paper draws on data from a survey of college students enrolled in the American University of Sharjah (a Western-style university in the UAE), focusing on their attitudes toward love, marriage, and family — including mate selection, polygamy, family size, and women’s participation in the workplace. Arab Emiratis were found to be more likely to conform to “traditional” norms than non-Arab Emiratis or Arab and Asian expatriates, although Arab Emirati women displayed more “modern” values than their male counterparts.

TL;DR: Tanizaki Jun'ichirō's Chijin no ai (A fool's love, 1924-25) and its conversation with the prominent cultural discourses of its time as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This article examines Tanizaki Jun'ichirō's Chijin no ai (A fool's love, 1924–25) and its conversation with the prominent cultural discourses of its time. I focus particularly on the ideas presented by writers such as Hiratsuka Raichō and Kuriyagawa Hakuson regarding "love marriage" (ren'ai kekkon), a practice idealized as both a marker for an advanced nation and a site enabling individuals to "progress" and heighten their characters (jinkaku). The novel parodically rewrites and actively reexamines these discourses in relation to contemporary values such as self-cultivation (shūyō) and cultural knowledge (kyōkō), asking what "progress" means within the rapidly changing social landscape of the 1920s.

TL;DR: A clash of traditional and modern ideas and practices is occurring in Nepal, influencing newly married women's household status and relationship quality, and potentially impacting women’s health.
Abstract: Marriage is a point of change in young people's lives, especially in parts of the world that place high value on it, such as in South Asian countries including Nepal. However, marriage practices are changing, with a move towards more love marriage; this is likely to have important implications on women's status and agency, household and couple dynamics, and mental and physical health. The aim of this paper is to describe how changing marriage formation patterns and traditional practices such as co-residence and dowry are intersecting and impacting relationships post-marriage. In-depth qualitative interviews took place with 20 intact triads of newly married women, their husbands and their mothers-in-law, in one district of Nepal in 2017. Many marriages remain arranged; however, couples often talk or meet before marriage and feel that they are able to build a foundation of love before marrying. Access to technology facilitates this practice, although some couples are reluctant to admit their communication, suggesting stigma about this practice. Husbands have growing ambivalence about dowry, leading to confusion and negatively impacting on relationships post-marriage. A clash of traditional and modern ideas and practices is occurring in Nepal, influencing newly married women's household status and relationship quality, and potentially impacting women's health.
