Abstract
A prominent topic in migration research on marriage is interethnic marriage of migrants with members of the destination country (Glick 2010). Alternatively migrants may select partners from their own ethnic group in the destination country or, more rarely, migrants from other countries. The country of origin is another relevant place to search for partners, at least for certain migrant groups (Charsley 2012). Turkish migrants in Europe draw on all these marriage markets. The incidence of interethnic marriage is comparatively low but is increasing over generations (Huschek et al. 2011; Schroedter and Kalter 2008).1 At the same time, a considerable share of Turkish migrants select spouses from Turkey (Baykara-Krumme and Fuß 2009; Carol et al. 2014; Gonzales-Ferrer 2006).
