| Zusammenfassung: | Abstract This article focuses on transnational polygamous marriages of migrants in Russia and how transnational polygynous practices influence people’s understanding of marriage, love and family. The paper shows how polygamous migrant marriages are negotiated between families, by presenting the perspective of individuals involved in such relationships in Russia. It argues that transborder relationships contribute to the transformation of social interactions. People function in two or sometimes more countries, creating opportunities for parallel partnering or other options that influence family networks in the migrants’ countries of origin. |
