| Résumé: | Marital dynamics within the Nigerian diaspora in France are marked by the specificities of a female migration that is predominantly forced into street prostitution. The many challenges and trauma encountered in their life journeys, as well as the extremely difficult living conditions in Europe, affect the image, the function and even the very idea of the couple, thus transforming norms and practices associated with conjugal life. Based upon ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Nigeria and in France, in collaboration with the women concerned, this article explores their family and love lives, while considering their transnational dimension. Crossing data collected in different places allows a better understanding of what characterises these couples, often perceived as withdrawn within their own community, which is actually less a matter of conscious choice than of exclusion and poverty. |
