?:abstract
  • Doubts are raised if the still dominant phenomena of religious homogamous marriages in Germany can be interpreted as an indicator of social distance between religious denominations, based on conflicting religious attitudes and norms. To explain why the amount of interfaith marriages is still very small in Germany, regional disparities in the denominational composition of the population and the change of religious affiliation in the context of marriage are presented as an alternative hypothesis. Based on odds ratios the trend of religious homogamy in Germany is analyzed using national statistics. To determine the impact of regional disparities the German Family Survey of 1988 was used, and effects of changing affiliation in the international context were studied using data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), 1991. The observed predominance of religious homogamy can in fact be explained almost completely by the regional structure of marriage markets, i.e. by opportunity structures. However, in Germany in contrast to other countries, the effect of changing affiliation on religious homogamy seems to be only of minor importance. In contradiction to a frequently raised claim, religious affiliation is (or at least has become) quite irrelevant for marital. choices in Germany. It seems not to be very useful and may in fact be misleading to interpret religious homogamy as an indicator for rules of endogamy or as an indicator of religious preferences concerning the marital partner.
