title: Religious identification and marriage.
abstract: "This study analyses religious intermix in Australia for both married and de facto couples.  It uses 1991 Australian Bureau of Statistics customised matrix data purchased by the author.... These data indicate that religious intermixing in Australia is only numerically significant amongst dominant religious groups.... It seems that in de facto relationships religious adherence has little effect on choice of partner."
