Description
My paper will discuss narratives emerging from my ethnography on the Indian migrants in
Germany in which I look into the marriage scape as a site for negotiation of agency and power relationship under the umbrella of intimacy. The paper draws on an existing framework I built in my book (2023) on the tripartite liaison between “mobility, safety, freedom” and explores how these frameworks emerge in relation to each other and interact with one another to define and reproduce intimacy and agency for women in wedlock. The paper is based on the fieldwork conducted between 2022 and 2023, on the Indian Blue Card holders and students in Germany.
