«Надо б в церкви, для крепости»: почему в 1920-е годы в Советской России продолжали венчаться

This article explores religious marriage in the USSR during the New Economic Policy (NEP). From the start, the Soviet authorities made great efforts to gradually eliminate religious beliefs within Soviet society. One of the first steps in that direction was the removal of marriage from Church jurisdiction. Moreover, Soviet power was constantly trying to compromise the tradition of religious marriage. However, many people still preferred to be married in church in addition to civil registration. A wide range of historical sources studied in this research (political and sanitary propaganda, communist and entertainment media, printed court reports) reveals that the new “civil” marriage was considered to be extremely unreliable by “ordinary” people, especially young girls of marriageable age and their parents. It was too easy to enter into such a marriage and to end it. It was associated with divorces, alimony suits, almost legalized cheating. The intention to marry in church at least meant a serious commitment, a willingness to take responsibility. Also, even many years later, during the Census of 1937, the majority of the population of the USSR considered themselves believers. This situation continued until a crucial change in ideology and social politics took place in the late 1920s, when most churches were closed. This study is focused on psychology of the “little man” in an epoch of global political and social changes.

Cognitive Gender Differences in Comments to Gender-Related Hot Topics on Chinese Social Media

In contemporary society, issues of women’s rights and gender equality have always been a focus of attention. Despite some progress made over the past few decades, gender inequality persists across various fields, sparking a series of feminist movements and actions. In China, a unique gender equality concern—the “bride price”—has garnered significant attention. As part of traditional Chinese wedding customs, the bride price symbolizes the groom’s respect for the bride. Nevertheless, in modern society, the escalating bride price amounts have led to differences in perceptions and competitive mindsets, making it a significant point of conflict within marriages. This paper analyses the commentary content on topics such as childbirth, the workplace, sexual assault, and the bride price on China’s social media platform, Weibo. Using textual analysis, it examines the emotional differences and content variations in comments between genders. The research reveals that female bloggers (67%) are more engaged in discussions related to gender issues than males (33%). Word frequency analysis shows similar concerns across topics, but men tend to prioritize material and financial aspects,” when discussing bride price. Women, on the other hand, express dissatisfaction through personal experiences, while men tend to consider the issue from their own perspectives.

Misyār Evliliğinin Uygulaması ve Meşruiyeti: İslam Hukukunda Eleştirel Bir Analiz

The family, as an institution dating back to the dawn of humanity, holds a paramount position in the lives of individuals from birth to death, providing them with initial education, guidance, and emotional support. In Islamic jurisprudence, the family is esteemed as a sacred sanctuary akin to a protective fortress. Islamic law places significant emphasis on the family, establishing meticulous and dependable provisions that safeguard the interests of all parties involved, preserving their rights, and ensuring the continuity of generations to foster the establishment and endurance of this vital institution. At the heart of the family unit lies the institution of marriage, which is the foundation upon which society's foundation is built. Families founded upon sturdy ethical principles and values are better equipped to fulfill their expected roles and contribute positively to the broader community. In contrast, families with frail foundations and unstable dynamics can become a burden not only to the family itself but also to the community, ultimately affecting the well-being of individuals within them. In light of these considerations, it becomes imperative to investigate and scrutinize the practice of "misyār marriage," a phenomenon that has gained prominence, particularly in Gulf nations. It has shown inclinations to spread to other Islamic states. This form of marriage has sparked discussions and debates regarding its compatibility with Islamic jurisprudence and its harmony with the desires of individuals under specific conditions. This study aims to unveil the similarities and divergences between misyār marriages and traditional marriages practiced in society, emphasizing examining their legitimacy within the framework of the conditional theory of Islamic family law. Despite historical gaps in understanding this practice, our study aims to evaluate misyār unions compared to established matrimonial norms, shedding light on their dynamics, implications, and societal significance. The research delves deep into contemporary Islamic contexts. It thoroughly examines references from the Qur'an, the Sunnah (traditions and practices) of the Prophet Muhammad, and the opinions of classical and modern Islamic scholars. Throughout this extensive inquiry, the study maintains a critical yet impartial stance in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by misyār marriage. Furthermore, it seeks to provide an outlook based on conditional theory for assessing the genuineness and validity of misyar marriages in challenging situations, thereby enhancing our comprehension of the distinct dynamics and consequences associated with such unions. This research strives to advance the understanding of the merits and demerits of misyar marriages within Muslim societies. Additionally, it aims to foster constructive discourse and deliberate reflection on the intricacies of Islamic family structures and relationships. Ultimately, this research serves as a bridge, connecting Sharia principles, the perspectives of Islamic scholars, and the evolving landscape of contemporary society, thus enabling a more profound grasp of the adverse effects of misyar marriages rather than their short-term benefits.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE INFLUENCE OF ISLAM ON FAMILY AND MARRIAGE RELATIONS IN KAZAKHSTAN SOCIETY

The influence of the Islamic tradition on the institutionalization of the family in countries with secular content can be traced through the examples of individual families and the discourse analysis of the topic of family in the information space. The legislative norms based on which families are created and family-marriage relations are regulated represent a clearly proven mechanism operating in the realities of secular Kazakhstani society. However, it can be noted that the Islamic tradition of marriage, such as «nikah-neke», is becoming a condition of necessity for many religious families, especially in youth families. What is this connected with? With the advancement and influence of Islamic values after the collapse of the USSR, a desire arose to deconstruct atheistic culture and its influence, including on family life. A study of the influence of Islamic family traditions shows that they influence the formation of a modern family. This is especially noticeable in such circumstances as marriage registration, marital relations, raising children, and divorce.
