摘要

新移民已經成為台灣的第五大新興族群，尤其新移民女性的婚姻問題在台灣倍受重視，故本研究乃在探討東南亞籍新移民女性來台結婚的動機及期待，瞭解在台期間所面臨的婚姻生活適應問題，並分析她們在台灣遇到婚姻問題時的處理及調適方式，以建構新移民女性婚姻適應的歷程。本研究採取質性研究的深度訪談法進行資料收集，並以桃園地區的東南亞籍新移民女性進行深入訪談，共訪談14位新移民女性，包括越南、印尼、泰國、菲律賓、緬甸、柬埔寨等。
本研究結果為：跨國婚姻的動機是新移民女性的自主選擇；在面臨婚姻問題方面，新移民女性認同台灣，並以台灣媳婦的身分在台灣打拼；至於在婚姻期待方面，新移民女性是以家庭「生活平順」的務實態度經營婚姻生活，並建構其婚姻適應歷程的三大模式，分別為：1.溝通家庭型；2.緊張家庭型；3.衝突家庭型。本研究亦就結論提出相關具體建議，如新移民女性和配偶應該接受更完整的婚前資訊與教育，以及規劃新移民女性和配偶參加婚姻生活輔導課程，另外政府和民間應建立新移民女性婚姻諮詢管道，並提供新移民女性進修機會和保障其工作權益。最後，由於本研究是區域性的研究，在學術引用上要特別留意。

New immigrants have become the fifth developing group in Taiwan, making the issue of how these females deal with their marriages an important issue in Taiwan. This study aims at exploring the motives and expectations of these southeastern Asian female immigrants when they come to Taiwan to get married to the locals, understanding the problems these women encounter in their married life here, and analyzing how they handle and adapt to the situation in which their marriages face problems. The goal is to construct a process showing how the new immigrated females face various issues in their marriages. This study is a qualitative research and adopts in-depth interviews as the research methods to collect data. The study subjects are 14 southeastern new immigrated females in Taoyuan area. Their nationalities cover Vietnamese, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia.
The results of this study revealed that the motive for inter-cultural marriages is a result of the independent choice of these females. When they face marital problems, these foreign brides recognize Taiwan and work hard as “Taiwanese daughter-in-laws.” In terms of their expectation of marriages, the new immigrated females have a practical attitude of hoping their marriages to “go smoothly” and their marriages can be divided into three types: communicative families, nervous families and confrontational families. This study has suggested that the new immigrated females and their spouses to accept more complete pre-marital consultation and education. Moreover, marriage consultation courses should be offered to these subjects. In addition, the government and the private sector should establish a marriage consultation channel for these females and provide them with the opportunities to study further and protect their work rights. A final reminder is that this study is regional and further quotation should be aware of this characteristic.
