On the basis of household registers maintained by the Japanese colonial government, CHUANG YING-CHANG and ARTHUR P. WOLF map the frequency of three forms of marriage-major, minor, and uxorilocal-in Taiwan between 1881 and 1905. Although both the major and minor forms of marriage were virilocal, minor marriage differed from the major form of marriage in that it involved a child bride marrying into her husband's family. The authors find that minor marriage was more prevalent in the north than in the south, and that uxorilocal marriages varied from locality to locality and not along a north-south axis. Contrary to explanations that link the practice of minor marriage to conditions of poverty or to ethnic differences, they argue that it was the result of a "hot" marriage market in the north created by large numbers of Han Chinese settlers, a dearth of brides, and relative prosperity generated by the tea trade.
