Abstract

Christliche und muslimische Theologinnen und Theologen diskutieren das Zusammenleben im Kontext der pluralen Gesellschaft. Dabei geht es insbesondere um den Wert, den die jeweiligen Glaubensgemeinschaften der Ehe beimessen, und darum, ob Ehe über Religionsgrenzen hinweg erwünscht ist. Sowohl im Christentum als auch im Islam wird die Ehe als Lebensform wertgeschätzt. Doch abseits dieser grundlegenden Übereinstimmung unterscheiden sich nicht nur muslimische und christliche Vorstellungen über die Ehe. Auch innerreligiös wird kontrovers diskutiert. Ob Sakrament, ›weltlich Ding‹ oder Vertrag, ob unauflöslich oder nicht – es gibt viele Punkte, an denen sich Debatten entzünden können. Letztlich sind Angehörige beider Religionen mit den Anforderungen einer pluralistischen und säkularen Gesellschaft konfrontiert, die auch alternative Lebensformen kennt. Angesichts dieser Entwicklungen kommen in diesem Band christliche und muslimische Stimmen zu Wort, die aus ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven heraus Aspekte der Ehe und ihrer Bedeutung in der heutigen Gesellschaft beleuchten.

Abstract

This paper studies the effect of increased access to antiretroviral therapy on risky sexual behavior, using data collected in Mozambique in 2007 and 2008. The survey sampled both households of randomly selected HIV positive individuals and households from the general population. Controlling for unobserved individual characteristics, the findings support the hypothesis of disinhibition behaviors, whereby risky sexual behaviors increase in response to the perceived changes in risk associated with increased access to antiretroviral therapy. Furthermore, men and women respond differently to the perceived changes in risk. In particular, risky behaviors increase for men who believe, wrongly, that AIDS can be cured, while risky behaviors increase for women who believe, correctly, that antiretroviral therapy can treat AIDS but cannot cure it. The findings suggest that scaling up access to antiretroviral therapy without prevention programs may not be optimal if the objective is to contain the disease, since people would adjust their sexual behavior in response to the perceived changes in risk. Therefore, prevention programs need to include educational messages about antiretroviral therapy, and address the changing beliefs about HIV in the era of increasing antiretroviral therapy availability.

Abstract

Using data they collected in rural Burkina Faso, the authors examine how children's cognitive abilities influence resource constrained households' decisions to invest in their education. This paper uses a direct measure of child ability for all primary school-aged children, regardless of current school enrollment. The analysis explicitly incorporates direct measures of the ability of each child's siblings (both absolute and relative measures) to show how sibling rivalry exerts an impact on the parents' decision of whether and how much to invest in their child's education. The findings indicate that children with one standard deviation higher own ability are 16 percent more likely to be currently enrolled, while having a higher ability sibling lowers current enrollment by 16 percent and having two higher ability siblings lowers enrollment by 30 percent. The results are robust to addressing the potential reverse causality of schooling influencing child ability measures and using alternative cognitive tests to measure ability.
