Abstract

About 70 percent of the international marriages is that of Japanese men and foreign women who are mainly from Asian countries such as Philippine, the South Korea, the North Korea and China. The causes of its increase is international migration due to the social and economical situation both in Japan and foreign countries. <br>The foreign wives are bewildered by the differences of language, life styles and values in Japan where they are discriminated economically and are assimilated to Japanese culture. They also have confronted the communication gap in their family and the weakened ethnic identification. <br>Now not only the families of international marriage families but also the whole Japanese societies are required to solve this issue concerning the foreign wives. <br>This paper aims to provide some implication how to establish a multilingual and multicultural society that would accept various values and customs by summarizing the characterization of current international marriages and problems faced by the foreign wives, basing on the view of family sociology.
