Love is evil, love anyone! There is a well-known proverb about this. Quite often it happens that a couple, which at first glance has nothing in common, converges and even gets married. What comes of it?
About the concept
Probably all people have heard such a thing as "misalliance". This is a term that simply means an unequal marriage. Previously, only socially unequal marriages were called this way, but today this term has somewhat transformed and expanded its boundaries.
Social misalliance
The most common and ancient type of unequal marriage is social misalliance. This is a union of people from different social strata, from different classes. An example would be a couple consisting of a simple construction worker and a professor's daughter, the son of a diplomat and the daughter of an ordinary rural milkmaid. It should be noted that such relationships very rarely cross the line of acquaintance with parents, because often relatives of the "stronger" side do their best to get rid of the wrongly chosen half of their child.
Intellectual misalliance
Interesting enough is the intellectualMisalliance is a union of people with different levels of mental development. It is noteworthy that if a stupid woman is paired with a smart man, this is normal. A man stands out from his wife, and this is considered normal. However, if a woman is smarter than her husband, the lady will most often be pitied, because in modern (still patriarchal) society, it is believed that a man leads the family. And how can he be the head of the family if he is poor in mind?
National misalliance
The next subspecies of unequal relations is the national misalliance. This is a marriage of people of different nationalities. Now you won’t surprise anyone with interethnic marriage, but before such relationships were rare: few people wanted to “mix” their blood. The problems in such marriages are quite large, because it is often very difficult to combine the rites and traditions of different nations, and most of all conflicts arise on religious grounds.
Political misalliance
A fairly new kind of political misalliance in marriage. It arose on our territory after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when there was one party. Today, there are many of them, as well as political views and sentiments. The union of people with different political views is called a political misalliance.
Household misalliance
There is also a household misalliance. Almost any couple can be attributed to this type of relationship. A clean woman and a confused man who scatters his socks everywhere; a pacifist woman and a military man, and so on. There are many variations of everyday misalliance.
Pros
In any situation, you can find both minuses and pluses. If a couple, unequal according to certain criteria, wants to be together (what to do, such are the games of fate), misalliance is not so scary. A huge plus may be the fact that one of the partners, who is clearly losing against the background of the other, will begin to strive for a higher level. This perfectly disciplines and makes a person develop, and self-improvement has never harmed anyone.
