Attitudes towards interethnic marriages in modern society

the modern world is full of various new trends. One of them can be considered a change in attitude towards interethnic marriages. Such marriages are not only increasing in number, but also becoming more common, not causing rejection and negative perception among a large number of people. At the same time, there was, is and, probably, may remain in the future, a part of the population that has a negative attitude towards such marriages. Often, the acceptance of interethnic marriages is explained by certain factors: religious, cultural, social, political. In a world where there is an opportunity to learn about other cultures, be mobile, not depend on the opinions of others, and even families, interethnic marriages are becoming more real. This trend is especially evident among young people living in territories with clearly expressed polyculturalism, multireligiosity, egalitarianism. In territories of national and religious majority (for example, national republics and territories), the attitude towards multiethnic unions is more reserved, and sometimes clearly negative. We believe that the personality itself, its attitudes, values and views on life play a major role in the acceptance or rejection of polyethnic marriages. A personality that shows readiness for family life and tolerance is more capable of creating such a union and living in it, going through all the stages of the life cycle. At the same time, nationality will be only one of the components of family life. In order to study the attitude towards interethnic marriages, we conducted a study. In general, we received confirmation of the main trends in people's assessments of such unions. However, it should be taken into account that the territory where the study was conducted (Khabarovsk Krai) can be classified as accepting new forms of marital relations.
