Małżeństwa powtórne w powojennej Polsce

Abstract

Marriage repetability belongs to phenomena which always have been existing among new contracted marriages. Quantities and motives of remarrying changed in different historical periods. This have been confirmed by long-term observations of demographic (the mortality level) as well as mental (the propensity for divorces) changes. The aim of the article is to present basic information on remarrying, including each next one, as well as on participating persons (age, civil status, period from last marriage, propensity for choice of partner about the same marital status) in after-war Poland.
