About article:
The Marriage Market in Spain. Analysis of the Structure ofOpportunity in Mixed Marriages. The dual purpose of this article is to find out the importance and characteristics of marriages between foreigners and Spaniards and to study the opinions of the Spanish population on the possibility of their children having affective relationships with foreigners, since this is becoming an important element in the definition of the marriage market opportunity structure. For the first goal, data were acquired from the Movimiento Natural de Población (Vital Statistics) statistical source. For the second, data were taken from the national survey on attitudes of the Spanish population toward immigrants taken by the ASEP Company. The results show, firstly, that there is a gradual increase in mixed marriages, although there are differentiated patterns between men and women. Secondly, Spaniards are against one of their family members marrying a foreigner. Sociológia 2014, Vol. 46 (No. 3: 300-319)
