- More about The Decline of Marriage in Namibia - Kinship and Social Class in a Rural Community
In Southern Africa, marriage rates have declined significantly, but the value of weddings and marriages has not. Julia Pauli's book explores the meaning of marriage when only a few marry, using the appropriation of marriage by a rural Namibian elite as a case study.

Marriage was once a prevalent and widespread tradition in Southern Africa. Nevertheless, over the past few decades, marriage rates have experienced a significant decline. In her book, Julia Pauli delves into the significance of marriage in a society where fewer people are choosing to tie the knot. Despite the sharp drop in marriage rates, the importance of weddings and marriages remains unwavering. Marriage has become a symbol of upper-class status, a aspiration that less affluent individuals strive to achieve. Through the appropriation of marriage by a rural Namibian elite as a case study, the book intricately weaves together the narratives of class formation and the decline of marriage in post-apartheid Namibia.
