Creating Families Across Boundaries: A Case Study of Romanian-Egyptian Mixed Marriages : Cairo Papers in Social Science Vol. 28, No. 1 (Cairo Papers in Social Science)

Based on unstructured interviews with thirteen Romanian–Egyptian couples presently living in Cairo, this study focuses on three interrelated aspects of these mixed marriages: the contexts that allowed the formation of the mixed families; the practices in which the couples engage in terms of household organization, gender relations, and kinship; and the role of religion in the lives of the mixed couples and how both the men and women position themselves in this regard.
