Abstract
The objectives of this research were to highlight socioeducational influences on marriage formation in Morocco, and to analyse–by region and gender–the influence of education on strategies of marriage formation. A comparative methodology was employed, using proportional quota samples of three Moroccan regions: Greater Casablanca (the most industrialised and economically powerful region); the Interior (archaic and rural); Tangier-Tétouan (culturally similar to Spain). Homogamy, endogamy and traditional meeting strategies prevail, with regional differences attributable to the degree of modernisation. Moroccan culture, law and religion differ from western models, with concepts of family and marriage rooted in custom and tradition, and a universal respect for Islam. We conclude that further modernisation in Morocco is possible but must respect cultural diversity.
