Juggling Paperwork Across Borders: Theorizing Transnational Legal Space
Life events such as marriage, divorce or the birth of children are not just intimate family matters but also legal matters. For transnational families, such life events are influenced by multiple overlapping nation-state orders, each with its own set of laws and institutions. This contribution builds on the concept of transnational legal space to study the social workings of law across borders from a bottom-up perspective of transnational family …
Doomed to Fail’: Dutch and West German Consulates Warning Against Mixed Marriages, 1950s–70s
This article demonstrates how official discourses in Western Europe warning against mixed marriages were built on colonial continuities as part of shared European heritage, as well as the importance of race and gender ideologies in those discourses. It addresses the exchange across borders of approaches to regulating ‘mixed’ marriages among Dutch and German consular officials, strongly advising European White women not to emigrate and not to marr…
Divorce in transnational families: Norms, networks, and intersecting categories
This paper highlights the originality and scholarly contributions of the present Special Issue on transnational divorces in three ways. First, it examines two sets of related literature and situates the Special Issue within them: one on divorces, in general, and the other on divorces in transnational families (also called here “transnational divorce”). This exercise identifies the scholarly tendencies and gaps needing immediate attention in the s…
‘Everything went according to the rules’. Female citizen sponsors’ legal consciousness, intimate citizenship and family migration law
Academic literature has studied the legal consciousness of common citizens: the way ordinary people think and talk about law in their everyday lives. Building on this literature, we explore how Dutch female citizens with a migrant partner experience the impact of migration law on their everyday lives. We questioned how legal consciousness is linked to intimate citizenship, thus demonstrating how ‘private’ matters such as intimate relationships, m…
Intimate citizenship: Introduction to the special issue on citizenship, membership and belonging in mixed-status families
This special issue investigates citizenship and belonging in mixed-status families, i.e. families consisting of both citizens and non-citizens. We critique the standard perception of citizenship as ‘hard on the outside and soft on the inside’. For citizens with non-citizen family members, the exclusionary nature of citizenship is very much ‘inside’, in the very heart of their families. We deploy the concept of ‘performing intimate citizenship’ to…
Regulating Dutch–Chinese marriages and relationships in the Netherlands (1920–1945)
This paper aims to contribute to The History of the Family by researching the historical relationship between family and state, and the roles that the concepts of 'race' and 'mixture' played. To this end, it analyzes the regulation of Chinese–Dutch marriages in the interwar period and Second World War in the Netherlands. It argues that the ways in which these interracial marriages were regulated were informed by colonial discourses on the Chinese…

Protecting Dutch Girls from the Harem: Premarital Counselling for Mixed Marriages with Muslim Men
In the migration history literature, the number of marriages between newcomers and the native population is considered to be the ultimate litmus test of the integration or assimilation of migrants. However, little attention has been paid to how the state has actively intervened to prevent such marriages. The premarital counselling for mixed marriages provided by Dutch state officials, in cooperation with churches and NGOs, represents one such int…

Regulating Mixed Marriages through Acquisition and Loss of Citizenship
Mixed marriages have always had an ambiguous and often problematic relationship with the law. On one hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a key indicator of sociocultural integration into mainstream society. In terms of the law, this perception has been expressed, for example, as privileged access to citizenship status for immigrant family members of citizens. On the other hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a threat to society and social …
Superdads: Migrant Fathers’ Right to Family Life before the European Court of Human Rights
In discussions about multiculturalism, migration, Islam, and law, migrant and especially Muslim fathers have predominantly been discussed in terms of their overall power over women and children. The recurring question seems to be how much room they should be granted to have a polygamous marriage, keep their daughters out of school, and marry them off. This contribution argues that the sociolegal position of migrant fathers is much more complex an…
A proper wife, a proper marriage: Constructions of ‘us’ and ‘them’ in Dutch family migration policy
Migration policy is a product and producer of identities and values. This article argues that discourses and policies on family reunification participate in the politics of belonging, and that gender and family norms play a crucial role in this production of collective identities, i.e. in defining who ‘we’ are and what distinguishes ‘us’ from ‘the others’. Tracing the development of political debates and policy-making about ‘fraudulent’ and ‘forc…
Not Without My Daughter: On Parental Abduction, Orientalism and Maternal Melodrama
In 1987 the book Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody became a worldwide best-seller. In the line of Mahmoody’s book, similar ‘true stories’ of western white women with oriental husbands were published. These books concentrate on topics like bad marriages, abuse and international parental abduction. In this article the books are analysed as popular culture products of orientalist discourse on mixed marriages. They are maternal melodramas in …
