自1995年起迄今，我國男性與東南亞女性通婚的數量已累積超過十八萬人，而通婚管道大致包括透過婚姻仲介、親友介紹、自己認識。經過近三十年的發展，通婚數量與通婚媒介也有了戲劇性的變化。本研究以居住於高雄市及南投縣296戶跨國婚姻家庭資料進行分析，探討這類跨國婚姻通婚管道的變化，以及影響通婚者選擇通婚策略的因素。歸納結果如下：一、這類跨國婚姻浪潮的初期，經由跨國婚姻仲介而完成者甚多，隨後因法律禁止婚姻仲介，通婚的數量也隨之驟減，表面上看來，似乎通婚媒介轉為以親友介紹和自己認識為主，但這類通婚的管道選擇習慣並未改變；二、有跨國婚姻經驗者，不會影響其親友的通婚管道使用情形，依此，即使跨國婚姻數量逐年累積，也不會改變跨國婚姻管道的選用；三、教育程度愈高的人，透過跨國婚姻仲介業者而結婚的機率愈低，可能是因為教育程度愈高的人有較高機會接觸異族，或者他們對於婚配對象的選擇愈謹慎。四、這類跨國婚姻的延續與增生，主要因為臺灣社會對東南亞女性的熟悉感與接受度提高。整體而言，法令的介入改變了跨國婚姻的通婚管道，進而可能改變了國人對新住民的價值評估、新住民的自我評估，在制訂與跨國婚姻移民相關的政策時，必須有新的認知基礎。

Since 1995, more than 180,000 men have intermarried with Southeast Asian women, with orchestrating channels of intermarriage generally comprising marriage intermediaries, introductions from relatives and friends, and personal acquaintances. After nearly three decades of development, the number of intermarriages and the orchestrating medium of intermarriage have also changed dramatically. This study analyzes data covering 296 transnational marriage families living in Kaohsiung City and Nantou County to explore the changes in the channels of intermarriage and the factors influencing the choice of intermarriage strategies among parties to intermarriages. The results are as follows: (1) In the early days of this wave of transnational marriages, many parties entered marriage through transnational marriage brokers. Later, due to legal prohibitions on marriage brokers, the number of intermarriages dropped sharply. On the surface, it seems that the orchestrating medium for marriages has shifted to “introductions by relatives and friends” and “personal acquaintances”, but the choice of channels for this type of marriage has not changed. (2) Parties having experience in transnational marriage will not affect the use of intermarriage channels by their relatives and friends, and accordingly, even if the number of transnational marriages increases year by year, it will not change people’s choice of transnational marriage channels. (3) The more educated people are, the lower the chance of them entering marriage through a cross-border marriage agency. This may be because the more educated people have a greater chance of coming into contact with people of different races, or they are more cautious in choosing their marriage partners. (4) The continuation and proliferation of transnational marriages is mainly due to the increased familiarity and acceptance of Southeast Asian women in Taiwanese society. On the whole, the intervention of the law has changed the intermarriage channels for entering transnational marriages, which may in turn change people’s evaluation of the value of new residents, as well as the self-assessment of new residents.
