| الوصف: | In contrast to much previous research on culture of honour, this article focuses on sons and contributes theoretically and empirically to an enhanced understanding of boys. The article explores two indicators of culture of honour based on the boys’ perceptions of their parents’ expectations: 1) restrictions of marriage: not allowed to freely choose future marriage partner and 2) expectations of chastity: expected to remain chaste until marriage. The analysis is based on a quantitative survey of 15-year-olds in metropolitan Sweden. While both indicators are found to identify boys with attitudes and experiences relatable to honour (ancestry from regions with culture of honour, more strongly religious parents with less social and economic resources, experiences of restrictions and violence), they differ from each other. Expectations of chastity identify boys with more religious parents, fewer restrictions, less violence, and associating sex with marriage, while restrictions regarding marriage identify boys with relatively less religious parents, more experiences of restrictions and violence. These differences are discussed as different ways of practicing culture of honour, where expectations of chastity stress age-hierarchical structures relatively more, and restrictions regarding marriage instead stress patriarchal structures more. |
