Transnational barriers to national support – how power dynamics distance abused ethnic minority women from access to formal help
Hvis du kun har en hammer, ligner alt et søm
Det er naturligvis dejligt med læsere, når et forskningsprojekt munder ud i en bog som “Minoritetsældre og selvudpegede hjælpere: Kommunal velfærd og omsorg i forandring” (Rytter, Sparre, Ismail og Liversage 2021), der kaster lys over et i dansk sammenhæng hidtil ubeskrevet område – nemlig indvandrer- og flygtningefamiliers strategier i forhold til ældreomsorg. Men i stedet for at forholde sig til bogens problemstilling om omsorgsarbejde og ældre…
Care arrangements between family and state – developing hybrid scripts of ageing in a context of migration
Due to demographic developments, the number of immigrant families with older members is growing across Western Europe. Poised between the different approaches to care in their countries of origin and destination, such families are treading new ground as they negotiate support for older family members. Based on semi-structured interviews with 26 older and younger family members from 20 Turkish immigrant families in Denmark, this article investigat…
Challenging Muslim Family Practices - Investigating a Danish Policy Initiative's Reception by Its Target Group
Nation states want to control their populations, including how they reproduce. In the present era of migration, this involves not only restricting marriage migration from ethnic minorities' countries of origin, but also involves attempts to affect Muslim marriages within their borders, as some such marriages can be considered 'anti-modern' and a potential threat to the state. Taking a governmentality approach - how states seek to shape 'the condu…
Muslimske kvinder og skilsmisse i en dansk kontekst
I Danmark kan nogle muslimske kvinder have svært ved at komme helt ud af deres ægteskaber. Det hænger sammen med forskellige opfattelser af, hvad der skal til for at opløse en nikah – et “muslimsk ægteskab”. Denne artikel bygger på interviews med fire muslimske kvinder – to indvandrere og to efterkommere – der er udvalgt fra et større interviewmateriale. Artiklen viser, at forskelle i kvindernes muligheder for at forlade deres ægtemænd blandt and…

At falde fra – beretninger om religiøst frafald på tværs af majoritetsdanske og minoritetsetniske miljøer
Religiøst frafald i Danmark har ikke haft stor bevågenhed i forskningen. Ud fra biografisk narrative interviews med personer fra et »Meningsdannernetværk « undersøger artiklen derfor beretninger om frafald blandt både majoritetsdanskere og etniske minoriteter. Her ses klare fællestræk, uanset om man forlader kristendommen eller islam. Forløbene, fra man oplever den første tvivl til ens endelige brud med religionen, kan være særdeles udfordrende, …
‘Migrant Carer- Wives’ – Between Transnational Marriages, Care Work for Older Husbands and Gendered Precarity
Migration is traditionally categorised into migration for work or family. However, utilising interviews with both immigrant families and publically employed care managers, this study documents the existence of a hybrid type, involving migrant wives who arrive to care for substantially older husbands – an arrangement about which Danish care managers use the term ‘fetched wives’. Register data also document that the relatively infrequent remarriage…
A Janus-Faced State—Uncertain Futures and Frontline Workers’ Support for Immigrant Women Experiencing Abuse
Utilising interviews with immigrant women and frontline workers, this article discusses the role of the state in relation to immigrant women’s divorces. The article argues that the state has a Janus face when it comes to such women’s “intimate belonging”. On the one hand, state legislation both legally enables female-initiated divorce and supports divorced mothers economically. Accordingly, frontline workers generally back immigrant women who see…
Remarriage among older immigrants and their host country peers – a countrywide study
With immigrants across Europe ageing in increasing numbers, this article uses Danish administrative data to map the unexplored remarriage patterns among three groups of older immigrants and compare them to their Danish host country peers. Results show that remarriage late in life is uncommon. When it occurs, men remarry more often than women, with the gender difference many times larger among immigrants. For choice of spouse, most marriages are e…
Experiencing ‘nikah Captivity’ in the West
Based on interviews with Muslim minority women and Islamic authorities, this article proposes a step-based model for understanding Muslim divorce processes in diaspora. Such processes are highly dependent on individual women’s embedding in gendered geographies of power: The analysis shows that second-generation immigrant women generally are quite easily able to put a full end to unwanted marriages. In contrast, first-generation immigrant women ma…
Abducting Children Abroad
Utilizing life story interviews of immigrant women whose children were abducted by abusive (ex-)husbands, the article unpacks a three-part pattern of transnational mobility: first, husbands apply strategies of coercive control to dominate wives in Denmark; second, wives draw on Scandinavian "woman-friendly" state support to challenge men and seek divorce; and third, men try to regain control through abducting children to the Middle East, seeking …

Generational (dis)agreements – family support, national law and older immigrants in extended households
As detailed knowledge on multigenerational migrant families is sparse, this paper draws on quantitative and qualitative data to investigate intergenerational co-residence for older Turkish immigrants in Denmark. Registry data show that 23 per cent of Turkish immigrants in the 65–74 years age group live in intergenerational households – a level halfway between levels in Denmark and Turkey. These extended households are predominantly of the ‘cultur…
From Work to Welfare
Using a mixed methods approach, this article examines gendered patterns of employment and of unemployment benefit uptake among Turkish marriage migrants in Denmark. The results show that men use co-ethnic networks to access entry positions. Subsequent eligibility for unemployment benefits enable these men to search for better jobs. Women enter employment more slowly and tell of such entry being related to entering the unemployment insurance syste…
Growing old in exile - a longitudinal study of migrant women from Turkey
Some studies on migrants and ageing focus on the question of return; others focus on how migrants, who grow old in their countries of destination, ‘age in place’, including whether they turn to their children or to public host country provisions for care and support. However, the issues of return and of ageing in place may both hold significance in individual migrants’ lives. To investigate the changing expectations of old age throughout the life…
Out of Touch
While ethnic minority children today experience parental separation almost as often as the majority of Danish children, research on how they experience divorce is limited. Hence, this article applies a mixed methods approach to investigate post-divorce father-child contact for ethnic minority children compared to Danish majority peers. Drawing on survey data, the article documents how ethnic minority children are more likely than their Danish maj…
Twice as many helpers
In research on ethnic minority families, the topics of marriage migration and filial support to the elderly have generally been studied separately. This article argues that the two phenomena are linked, as older immigrants are better able to receive family support when children-in-law arrive as marriage migrants, leaving behind their own parents in their country of origin. On the basis of interviews with 39 first-generation immigrants from Turkey…
Silenced Husbands
In both Denmark and Britain, legal and policy discourses have relied on a range of problems implicitly or explicitly linked to transnational marriages involving ethnic minorities in order to control and change the character of spousal immigration. These discourses often focus on the vulnerability of Muslim women, while Muslim men appear as patriarchal figures abusing their power over co-ethnic women. In this article, we use qualitative data from …
Fatherhood in the Nordic Welfare States
The five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, are well-known for their extensive welfare system and gender equality which provides both parents with opportunities to earn and care for their children. In this topical book, expert scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as UK and the US, demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in the Nordic setting through family and social policies, and how these contribute to…
Changing Times - Family Formation Processes among Turkish Immigrant Women and Their Danish Majority Peers
This article compares the family formation processes among young Turkish immigrant women in Denmark with those of their majority Danish peers. The study draws on biographical interviews and available statistics, both of which reveal marked differences between the two groups. The majority women's family formation processes consist of many uncoupled and reversible transitions, focusing on "gaining experience" until making the irreversible decision …
Transforming polygamy
In Europe, polygamy is often portrayed as emblematic of unchanging patriarchal traditions among Muslims. In contrast, based on research with Pakistanis in Britain and Turks in Denmark, we explore ways in which polygamy is transformed in the context of migration and transnationalism. Migration‐related polygamy features in accounts of the pioneer generations of Pakistani and Turkish migrants to Europe, but there is also evidence of great variety in…
Tyrkiske skilsmisser i Danmark
I Danmark ender ægteskaber langt oftere i skilsmisse, end ægteskaber i Tyrkiet gør. På baggrund af registerdataanalyser viser denne artikel, at skilsmisser blandt indvandrere og efterkommere fra Tyrkiet er blevet stadigt hyppigere gennem de sidste tre årtier, hvor niveauet er steget fra det lave tyrkiske til det højere danske niveau. Interviews med fraskilte tyrkiske mænd og kvinder i Danmark såvel som i Tyrkiet viser, at denne stigning blandt an…
Gender, Conflict and Subordination within the Household
The European-raised children of Turkish immigrants often marry spouses from their parents' home country. This article investigates the interplay between gender and residency when such transnational couples develop the culture of their newly formed households. While migration scholars state that such household culture is constructed as a ‘bricolage’ of elements from both the country of cultural origin and the present host country, they pay little …
Sharing Space-Gendered Patterns of Extended Household Living among Young Turkish Marriage Migrants in Denmark
While considerable research exists on US immigrant groups living in extended households, little is available on such households in Europe. Using a combination of register data, survey data and qualitative interview data, this article analyzes extended household living among Turkish immigrants in Denmark, and compares the findings to the situation in Turkey. The analysis shows that as many as 78% of young female and 38% of young male marriage migr…
Vital conjunctures, shifting horizons
Focusing on the underdeveloped field of high-skilled female migration, this article relies on life story interviews with high-skilled women immigrating for reasons other than work.The article conceptualizes migration as a'vital conjuncture', a critical life period in which both different futures and different identities are at stake, and shows how some women - mostly with skills from the natural sciences - were able to retain former professional …

Life below a `Language Threshold
In many immigrant groups, women gain less command of the host country language than the men. Using life story interviews with marriage migrants from Turkey, now living in Denmark, this article investigates this limited language learning, linking it to these women's lives as they primarily unfold in three social locations: households, workplaces and language schools. During their first years in Denmark a gendered division of work may relegate the …
Finding a Path
The labour market incorporation of high-skilled immigrants is of key concern to receiving societies and migrating individuals alike. This paper draws on life-story interviews with 19 high-skilled Eastern Europeans in Denmark to develop a time-geographical trajectory notation for analysing immigrants' individual movements in social space across time. I propose a typology of five paths, each partly shaped by variations in the intersections of indiv…
