Tuvans of Russia, Mongolia and China: Forms of Family and Marriage
https://doi.org/10.22162/2075-7794-2017-29-1-58-66
Abstract
The article aims to study the forms of marriage and family among the Tuvans of Russia, Mongolia and China from a comparative perspective. The study of the forms of marriage and family of Tuvinians is supposed to shed light upon the complex history of social relations in Tuva in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, and identify conditions for the existence of some archaic features of marriage relationships. At the same time, the study of marriage and family relations in the period of transformation processes can identify ways of building new forms of marriage and family required for further development and improvement of the norms of marital relations among the Tuvinians. The undoubted feature of the article is that fi eld materials collected by the author on the territory of the Republic of Tuva, Mongolia and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China have been apllied for the analysis within the study.
