Marrying for a Future

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the impact of the Sri Lankan civil war, the book examines how marriage has become a vital tool for Tamil communities to forge connections across borders following mass migrations. Sidharthan Maunaguru highlights the roles of wedding photographers, marriage brokers, and legal processes in rekindling relationships among dispersed groups. By focusing on the temporary spaces utilized by migrants, the work offers fresh insights into transnational marriage studies and kinship, addressing the challenges faced by a community fragmented by conflict.
