Abstract
ln this chapter we will be examining attitudes to marriage mnong young
British Bangladeshi women. We see the move to new forms of Muslim piety among
these women as related in part to the problems posed by marriage in the contempo-·
rary British environment. New Islamic groups provide both social and int.ellectual
resources that may help to resolve difficulties and issues in relation to marriage and
the family, including tension between Western models of romantic love and marriage
and the desire to behave in a proper Islamic way. At the same time, the specific
forms of islamic practice adopted may also be constitutive of a new sense of self and
a new identity which carries along with. it a new and different sense of what the
marital relationship, the woman's relationship to her own body and self and her
relationship to her present or future children might be.
