Goode's foundational work on the fertility transition identified own-choice
marriage as a factor driving fertility decline, part of a widening repertoire of
choice pertaining to marriage and childbearing. Yet research supporting this
connection in today's transitional societies is scarce and somewhat
contradictory, and it is unclear how other marital traditions, such as
consanguineous marriage, shape this relationship. This study evaluates Goode's
theorized connection using pooled Demographic and Health Survey data from Turkey,
comparing children ever born, use of contraception, and parity progression across
four types of marriage: own-choice and arranged marriage; and marriage to a
cousin versus an unrelated spouse. Results are largely consistent with the idea
that a move towards own-choice marriage reflects a widening repertoire of choice
that also leads to fertility decline. However, they also show that hybrid models
like own-choice marriage to a cousin tempers these effects.
