BODOQUE PUERTA, Yolanda  e  SORONELLAS MASDEU, Montserrat. Couples in Transnational Space: The Plans of Women Migrating for Marital Reasons. Migr. Inter [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.3, pp.143-174. ISSN 2594-0279.

We base this article on a research project on women who emigrate to Spain because they have a romantic relationship with a Spanish man. We discuss partial results in order to demonstrate a unique migratory reality, which can also be approached from a transnational perspective. These women plan their migration and leave their country with the goal of forming a family in the destination country. This personal and individual plan, generally, is unconnected to migratory networks that could provide family or community support. A characteristic of these women's transnationality is their dependent incorporation into the destination country and the denial of their migrant condition, which entails the absence of a plan to return.
