At present, foreign marriage in Italy is increasing at a rate of 20000 pairs per year, which has surpassed the proportion of men and women of their own nationality getting married.
According to the Italian newspaper "Messenger" on March 24th, 60% of Italian men marry foreign wives in foreign-related marriages, while 40% of Italian women find foreign husbands.
In all foreign-related marriages, 50% of couples have an Italian husband and an Eastern wife; 25% of couples have an Italian husband, while their wives come from Central and South America, with Brazil and Colombia having the highest proportion of women.
For Italian women in foreign-related marriages, 40% of them seek Muslim husbands, mostly from some countries in North Africa.
The report states that the increase in foreign-related marriages is mainly due to the increasing number of immigrants entering Italy in recent years, with many immigrants obtaining legal status through marriage; Some people want to change their economic situation; Some people even want to "smell" the scent of another world out of curiosity.
Given the increasing trend of foreign-related marriages, Italian sociologists have analyzed that, according to this development, by 2010, half of Italy's population will each have a foreign relative.
