中国历史上一直存在嫁娶和招赘两种婚姻形式。由于各种社会、经济、文化和人口因素的影响，在农村中嫁娶式婚姻占绝对主导地位，而招赘式婚姻则非常少见。本文利用陕西省略阳县和三原县的调查数据，对于应时性和制度性两种类型的招赘式婚姻的影响因素进行了比较研究。

本文应用湖北省松滋县的调查数据，对婚姻形式和与父母共居时间的关系进行了研究。结果表明，在控制了其他重要的影响因素后，夫妻的婚姻形式对婚后保持与父母共居关系的时间有显著的影响。嫁娶婚姻夫妻，制度变化型和应时变化型“招赘”婚姻夫妻在婚后与父母共居时间上呈现递增的关系，婚后5年内是最可能改变与父母共居关系的时期。本文最后讨论了出现这种现象的原因及其社会意义。

Using data from a survey in Songzi county of Hubei province, this paper studies the influence of children's marriage form and individual factors on their family division from parents. The results reveal that children's marriage form significantly affects their decision on family division. Sons in virilocal marriage are more likely to undertake family division than daughters in uxorilocal marriage, and the timing of division is earlier for the former than for the latter. The likelihood of family division has been steadily increasing for sons, and daughters married in the period of collective economy. The majority of family division concentrates on the first 5 years after marriage for sons and distributes more or less equally over the first 5 years after marriage for daughters. Children's number of brothers has positive marginal effects and education has negative effects on their family division. Demographic and socioeconomic causes underlying this phenomenon as well as its social implications are also discussed.
