Researchers use a wide spectrum of terms to refer to marital unions composed of partners coming from different religions, ethnicities or countries: mixed marriages, intercultural families, cross-ethnic intermarriages, cross-cultural marriages or intermarriages. Mixed families are one of the main areas where migration generated intercultural relations are manifested and many of the respective studies are investigation of the relationship between intermarriage and cultural diversity. Social scientists thus turn attention to mixed families to gain valuable insight into the nature of inter-group relations. Mixed marriages are most often investigated as a measure of social distance, assimilation and inter-group harmony – in other words they become the focus of studies that are interested in processes of cultural adaptation, levels of integration of various minority and immigrant groups as well as the nature of power relations between different states and cultures.
