Love, Marriage, Family Organization and the Puzzle of Neolocality in Non-Industrial Societies: A Cross-Cultural Study

Monogamy is more likely to be correlated with romantic love being a basis for marriage than other forms of marriage.

Generalized polygyny = 1, occasional polygyny = 2, pure monogamy = 3. Both 2 and 3 are significantly associated with love being a basis for marriage.
