New York Must Recognize Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages, Governor David Pat
2008-05-29 17:45:00 Gay couples who were legally wed in Massachusetts, California and Canada will be afforded same rights as 'any other legally performed union.'By Gil Kaufman Photo: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty Images One day before California became the second state in the nation to legalize gay marriage, New York Governor David Paterson directed all state agencies to begin updating their regulations to recognize same-sex marriages that have been legally performed in Massachusetts, California, Canada and elsewhere. According to The New York Times, Paterson issued the directive on May 14, less than 24 hours before the Supreme Court of California struck down that state's ban on gay marriage. The new rule in New York, which came from the governor's legal counsel, David Nocenti, tells state agencies that gay couples married outside the state "should be afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed union." The revisions to the code could cover more than 1,300 regulations in New Yor...

Interracial Marriages Not Uncommon in Urban Areas
2008-04-21 17:30:00 When it comes to interracial marriage, many Koreans picture farmers marrying women from China in suburban areas. However, a recent government report said the trend is changing fast ― many of the grooms live in urban areas and are marrying for the second time with Vietnamese women.The report said many of these couples suffer from poor-communication and financial problems. They are also reluctant to have children, it said.According to the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, only 12.4 percent of 30,208 men married to foreign women in 2006 made a living in the agricultural or fishery sector ― a huge decline from 30-40 percent in the past.Many grooms were previously married. In 2001, 66.7 percent were getting married for the first time, but in 2005, the number decreased to 55.4 percent. The portion of males on their second marriage jumped from 32.3 percent to 43.2 percent over the same period.Lee Sam-shik, a researcher at the institute, said in these cases many men who div...

Interracial marriages forming at unprecedented rates: census
2008-04-09 04:10:00 TORONTO — Four decades after Hollywood's first interracial kiss in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" shocked mainstream America, Canada's multicultural society is increasingly showing signs that love is colour blind.The latest census figures released Wednesday by Statistics Canada show that, on this side of the border, mixed unions are forming at unprecedented rates.There were 289,420 mixed-race couples, married and common law, in 2006 - one third more than in 2001, the last time the data was collected.Yet there was a time in North America's not-so distant past that marrying someone of a different race wasn't just taboo, it could land someone behind bars.Before a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled it unconstitutional, 16 states still had laws banning interracial marriage.Since Sidney Poitier's landmark smooch, Hollywood continued the tradition of big-screen portrayals of interracial romances.

Mixed marriages rise 30 per cent in the last five years
2008-04-09 03:47:00 If Ward and June Cleaver were the idyllic picture of marriage in the 1950s, then Vishva Ramlall and Stephanie Linton could be the face of relationships in the 21st century.Mr. Ramlall was born in Guyana and came to Canada when he was 11. Ms. Linton was born in this country and grew up in several small towns across Ontario.The two met through friends in Ottawa, started dating and have been married for nearly three years.The couple represents a small but growing number of Canadians who are involved in interracial unions - a number that many experts predict will jump dramatically in the next few decades."The numbers are skyrocketing," said Minelle Mahtani, a geography and journalism professor at the University of Toronto who studies mixed-race identity.Nearly 300,000 Canadians were involved in mixed marriages or mixed common-law relationships in 2006, a rise of nearly 30 per cent since 2001, according to the latest census figures released yesterday by Statistics Canada.In 1991, just 2....

Village calls off marriages after cow's death
2008-03-11 14:44:00 It can only happen in incredible India. All marriages have been put on the hold in a Madhya Pradesh ( a province) village after a cow died. Local custom and belief decree that till such time there's a marriage in the family that owned the cow, no marriage can take place in the community. There's a problem though: There is nobody of marriageable age in the household.The story begins four months ago when a villager, Chandan Dhanak, while coaxing his cow, Sona (gold), to get inside the cowshed, hit her with a cane. Sona dropped dead, leaving Dhanak, his family and the entire village stupefied. Convinced that Sona died because of a curse, Dhanak and his son have gone on pilgrimage and done Gangasnan (holy dip in river Ganges - a sacred river for Hindus), not once but thrice.Despite his act of penitence, people in Chhapara village, 82 km from Vidisha district town and 40 km from capital city Bhopal, are not convinced. They insist that the curse can be shaken off only after a marriage i...

Weeding our Marriages
2008-02-06 06:02:00 T he following quote is from chapter three of the book, For Better, For Worse, For Keeps: God’s Gift of Hope for Every Marriage which I am having a drawing for here on February 14th. Possibly this is a book you might want to give to a friend who has a hurting marriage or donate to your church or local library. “Marriage is much like gardening. We can start off with high hopes and grandiose expectations, but as we are distracted by the pressures of daily living life in your marriage. We let the weeds begin to grow. Given enough time, they choke the life out of every healthy plant in the soil. Then comes the day, often too late, when we discover the enormity of our loss . . . Don’t let apathy and negligence choke out the last bit of your life in your marriage. Don’t settle for barren matrimony. Fight back. Regardless of how unfruitful the last several months or years have been, don’t give in to the lie that love can’t be renewed...
Why marriages Fail .... Why do churches truly address this?
2008-02-03 18:15:00 Why Marriages Fail LinkI found an interesting article recently about a study that was done about couples starting even before they married, and then followed up with them a number of times within the years of the relationship.If first spoke about Escalation, and how disagreements are handled. You may be thinking, "we don't fight like cats and dogs." And while that may be true, your marriage may still have this risk factor. Damaging escalation is not always dramatic. Voices do not have to be raised for couples to get into a cycle of returning negative for negative. Conflict over paying the rent, taking out the garbage, running errands that result in muttering to oneself, rolling your eyes, or throwing up your hands can also be examples of escalation.Couples who escalate arguments must control their emotions and control their tongues. James writes, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthle...
Of youth, "star" marriages and mob justice
2008-02-03 11:05:00 The Indian cricket board's much-villified experiments with youth aren't looking appealing as of now. India's batting blow-up in the Twenty20 one-off and the first ODI of the tri-series against Australia makes the return of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid seem more likely come the series against South Africa. India's youngsters need time to develop their potential of course, but there is a system to be implemented when an old generation is to be phased out. The selectors have sent a bunch of kids Down Under hoping that a series defeat would be a hardening and mind-moulding experience. Did I just say defeat?Talking of star marriages, we'd say that this concept was taken to a new level when French president Nicholas Sarkozy married model Carla Bruni. You'd wonder what kind of coverage this would have got in India. But our mental mindset would ensure that such things don't happen in this generation at least.One last point. Is mob justice becoming too much now? A seven-year old wa...

Interracial Marriages
2008-01-20 10:34:00 South Korean society is smitten with the issue of ``interracial'' or ``mixed'' marriages ― typically rural Korean bachelors marrying (South East) Asian women. Statistics are always cited: percentages, divorce rates, projected percentages of future mixed-marriage offspring and so on.Others speak of mixed-marriage repercussions on Korea's ``ethnic homogeneity'' with some assuming that such homogeneity has always been and others implying that it never has been. Amidst a rocketing divorce rate, others speak of ``saving'' these marriages, most commonly referring to communication differences, both cultural and linguistic.In fact, there's never a shortage of discussion on the various ways an interracial marriage can be undermined: miscommunication, or the inability to communicate at all, deceit on either side, pressure, and cultural dislocation.What is never entertained, however, is the possibility that many of these marriages never had a chance to begin with and what Korean cu...

McCain's Family: Bridging 2 Marriages, a Large, Close-Knit Brood
2007-12-27 04:43:00 Before Senator John McCain steps in front of an audience at a presidential debate, his daughter Meghan makes sure his nose is properly powdered. And from the campaign bus, Ms. McCain blogs about New Hampshire through the prism of politics and fashion (?I helped Dad pick out some swank Timberland boots.?) But Ms. McCain, 23, is one of the stark exceptions among the seven McCain children, who have generally shied away from campaigning. Among the Republican candidates, Mr. McCain, 71, of Arizona, has the greatest number of children, who span four decades, two marriages, numerous states and a broad swath of the political spectrum. But they are largely absent in a primary battle in which families ? and all that their presence implies ? are central ornaments.
How do arranged marriages differ from ones based on love?
2007-12-13 04:43:00 While most couples in Western societies marry for love, people in many other parts of the world follow the tradition of having marriages arranged. Even in the West, unions arranged by the couple's families occur among some ethnic groups.Arranged marriages appear to be more durable than ones based on love. In part, this is because the society usually frowns on the breakup of an arranged union and makes getting a divorce difficult. And in such cultures, women often cannot work and support themselves. But some scholars also believe that partners themselves tend to be more satisfied in the long run, because each goes into the marriage without expecting personal happiness. Since the wife and husband commit themselves to marriage and family rather than romance, they tend to stay together even when they are incompatible.Furthermore, spouses whose marriage has been arranged usually have strong ties to large families on both sides. This provides a ready source of close family friends, who m...

Iraq: Temporary Marriages MaybeOn The Rise
2007-11-18 04:36:00 BAGHDAD ? At 18, Zahraa Abdulrasool married a man 15 years her senior, a good man, she said, who never refused a day's work. To support his family, he drove a truck from Basra to Baghdad, a perilous journey in these days of war, sectarian violence and lawlessness."I pleaded with him to stop," she said, " to find some other kind of work, but there was no other work."On a spring day in 2004, he again set off for Baghdad. He never returned. His body was found on the side of a road. He was shot to death, his truck torched and destroyed. At 23, Abdulrasool was a widow."I lost my husband, father of my two boys and my only support in this world," she said.Alone to raise her family, she fell into despair. Her way out was to remarry, again and again and again. She betrothed herself to men who provided dowries and a sense of security and comfort, if only fleetingly."It has become a way of life to me," she said.These temporary marriages ? called mutaa or "pleasure" marriages ? are said to be ...
Photo Sessions at Marriages : An Increasing Trend...
2007-11-16 12:01:00 There is an increasing trend of photo sessions in Pakistan at the matrimonial functions. For this a professional photographer is hired who takes in snap shots of the bride or the marrying pair and most of the times, of the sisters next in number to the bride for sending in pictures to ?Rishta Walay?. That I think is a mere extravagance. Even if the girl or boy is not willing for the session, they are forced.Photographers charge thousands for an album they create. But the parents are like compelled to do so as it is the requirement imposed by society. Here I think it is self imposed by one?s own self. It is really not that necessary. What one has to do it except watching the same face in artificial faces again n again? The beauty that is portrayed in a natural photograph can?t be captured by posing.So another burden added on the already present expenses of marriage. Still I think it is upon us to stop it. What if we don?t have a photo session at our marriage and save those thousands ...
