Abstract
Dans les sociétés actuelles, la famille est en crise et par ricochet, l’institution matrimoniale. Le Bénin n’y a pas échappé. L’âge d’entrée en union ne cesse d’avancer.
La réticence de l’entrée des jeunes en mariage s’accompagne dans le même temps de la mise en place de nouvelles stratégies pour vivre en couple, ce qui n’est pas sans conséquences sur la démographie en général.
La communication vise à montrer d’une part les fondements sociologiques de la réticence des jeunes au mariage et d’autre part, les nouveaux comportements matrimoniaux adoptés et leurs conséquences sur la structure familiale et la santé de la reproduction.

Title (Translated)
Marriage in Benin: young people’s reluctance and alternatives to marriage in Cotonou
Abstract (Translated)
In today’s societies, the family is in crisis and, as an indirect result, so is the institution of marriage. Benin is no exception. The marrying age has not ceased to increase. Young people’s reluctance to get married has been accompanied at the same time by the use of new strategies to live together as a couple, which have not been without consequences on demography in general. This article aims to show, first of all, the sociological foundations for young people’s reluctance to get married and, second, the new matrimonal behaviours adopted and their consequences on family structure and reproductive health.
