The study’s purpose was to gain comprehension and knowledge about immigrate women’s vision on benefits respective disadvantages with arranged marriages. The study’s question at issues was: (1) How do the women consider that the ideal marriage is suppose to be? (2) How do the women experience that their vision on marriage has changed in a new culture? (3) How do the women consider that parents reasons, around the choice of a partner at arranged marriages? To be able to answer these questions at issues we used a qualitative method where interviews carried out with four immigrated women from four different countries where Islam is widespread religion. Common for these women is that they all are Muslims and that they come from countries where arranged marriages are practiced. They also have concrete experience of arranged marriages, either through themselves or someone they know. Material from interviews was analysed with a help of patriarchal theory and social constructivism. We have also analysed the material with a theory about culture and a theory about groups. The results of the study showed that the women are mostly positive into arranged marriages. They argue their standpoint with that marriage is an eternal institution that is built on respect and common values. The women see disadvantages in marriages that are built on love because it often leads to divorces when the love is gone.

Ele evoluiu para encorajar atividades que levem a a??es reprodutivas bem sucedidas e ? respons?vel pela cria??o e manuten??o de la?os afetivos entre indiv?duos. Assim como h? diferen?as nos comportamentos reprodutivos entre os sexos tamb?m h? diferen?as em como eles amam e se apaixonam. Essas diferen?as poder?o ditar a din?mica do casamento e a satisfa??o marital no mesmo. O casamento favorece o sucesso reprodutivo individual promovendo a escolha de parceiro e a cria??o de um ambiente prop?cio para a cria??o de filho, e a satisfa??o marital ? vista como o mecanismo psicol?gico que acompanha os custos e benef?cios do casamento. O MARQ-Brasil ? um question?rio que permite mensurar o n?vel de satisfa??o marital. Uma de suas escalas, a Escala Amor foi desenvolvida para aferir o n?vel de v?nculo emocional entre parceiros em um relacionamento amoroso. Este trabalho teve como objetivo validar a escala Amor como alternativa para medir v?nculo emocional e analisar que caracter?sticas pessoais de parceiros(as) podem influenciar o amor de homens e mulheres e sua satisfa??o marital. No presente estudo participaram 176 indiv?duos em relacionamento est?vel. A partir dos resultados, conclu?mos que a escala Amor se constitui um instrumento v?lido como medida de satisfa??o marital. Al?m disso, verificamos que v?rias caracter?sticas pessoais influenciam o amor dos c?njuges. Apesar de ambos os sexos continuarem a avaliar a qualidade do relacionamento, as mulheres demonstraram ser mais exigentes nessa avalia??o. Observamos que caracter?sticas comuns no universo de escolha de parceiro permanecem importantes e exercem sua influ?ncia no amor e na satisfa??o marital ap?s a escolha de parceiro ter sido realizada
