Moroccan society is having to cope with the different stages of this
transformational process, so that the family too is exposed to a formidable
number of changes. In this study we intend to explore in greater depth the
changes of a socioeducational nature arising in Moroccan marriages, bringing
out the essential role played by education in the way the family is
constituted.
A variety of techniques were used to collect the data. Our main source
of information was the questionnaire, and this was complemented by
documentary research, direct observation, and the use of open-ended interviews.
Homogamy, endogamy and familiar roles prevail, with regional
differences attributable to the degree of modernization. We conclude that
further modernisation in Morocco is possible but must respect cultural diversity.
