BACKGROUND/AIM: Why has the apparently high rate of cousin marriage among Bradford Pakistanis been sustained, 50 years since Pakistani migration to Britain began?
METHODS
A review of the anthropological literature on Pakistani migration and settlement, British Pakistani marriage patterns and the phenomenon of transnational marriage.
RESULTS
British Pakistanis are diverse in regional origins and social class characteristics, with many Bradford Pakistanis originating from the Mirpur district and northern Punjab. British Pakistani marriages often involve a partner from Pakistan who joins a spouse in the UK. Transnational marriage of first cousins offers relatives in Pakistan opportunities for a 'better' life in the West and are important for British Pakistanis for economic, social, cultural and emotional reasons. These processes are also differentially influenced by region of origin and class characteristics in Pakistan as well as by education, employment and locality in Britain. The pattern observed in Bradford may not be applicable nationally.
CONCLUSION
Further research examining marital decisions over several generations in families differing by social class, region of origin in Pakistan and locality in Britain is necessary to contextualise the findings from Bradford.
背景/目的：自巴基斯坦人开始向英国移民至今已有50年，为何布拉德福德的巴基斯坦裔近亲结婚率仍明显居高不下？
方法
回顾关于巴基斯坦移民与定居、英裔巴基斯坦人婚姻模式及跨国婚姻现象的人类学文献。
结果
英裔巴基斯坦人在地区出身和社会阶层特征方面存在差异，许多布拉德福德的巴基斯坦人来自米尔布尔地区和旁遮普北部。英裔巴基斯坦人的婚姻往往涉及一名来自巴基斯坦的伴侣，其前往英国与配偶团聚。第一代堂兄妹或表兄妹的跨国婚姻为巴基斯坦的亲属提供了在西方过上“更好”生活的机会，对英裔巴基斯坦人而言，出于经济、社会、文化和情感方面的原因，这种婚姻也很重要。这些过程还受到巴基斯坦的出身地区和阶层特征以及英国的教育、就业和居住地点的不同影响。在布拉德福德观察到的模式可能并不适用于全国。
结论
有必要进一步开展研究，考察不同社会阶层、巴基斯坦出身地区和英国居住地点的家庭中几代人的婚姻决策，以便将布拉德福德的研究结果置于具体背景中。
