Abstract EN:
Al though there are few numbers of civilian and religious matrimony and non-instituional cohabitation forms are gathering momentum, the high consideration of young people living in urban areas of congo for marriage makes it impossible to envision a crisis of this institution. Their matrimonial behaviour appears to be totally driven by family pressures and traditional schemes, evidencing the fact that family in congo is noy not likely to adopt western models soon, even in urban areas.
Abstract FR:
Malgre les faibles scores des unions civiles et religieuses et en depit de l'expansion des cohabitations non-institutionnalisees, l'extreme valorisation du statut matrimonial licite interdit l'idee d'une nuptialite en crise chez les jeunes citadins congolais. Leur comportement matrimonial apparait totalement assujetti aux pressions familiales et aux modeles conjugaux traditionnels, de sorte que meme en milieu urbain, la famille congolaise ne semble pas prete de s'occidentaliser.
