Le second mari
Singly François de. ? The Second Husband. An analysis of information relating to re-marriages included in the Family Survey conducted by INSEE in 1975 makes it possible to compare the characteristics of first and subsequent marriages. As a first approximation, it would be true to say that second marriages resemble first marriages, when the position of the second husband relative to the first husband is compared with the position of the first husband relative to that of the bride's father. A more detailed study of social homogamy and social mobility shows that the hypotheses of some sociologists who hold that a second marriage is often associated with downward social mobility are not confirmed. This is so, particularly as the difference in the social status of the partners is marked. It is possible that physical attributes, such as age and appearance, are of less importance in the choice of a second husband and that there is a greater concentration on social status.
