SUMMARY:

This dissertation approaches the theme of heterosexual monogamous marriage and its role in the construction, actualization and maintenance of gender inequality, from the theoretical field of feminisms. Considering the polysemy of the term marriage, the research adopts the concept of gender technology, formulated by the feminist thinker Teresa de Lauretis, to correlate the feminist production to the theme of marriage. The analysis is based on central works of Western feminism such as The New Woman and Sexual Morality (Kollontai, 2000), The Second Sex (Beauvoir, 1967), The Feminine Mystique (Friedan, 1971), The Longest Revolution (Mitchell, 1967), Sexual Politics (Millet, 1971), The Dialectic of Sex (Firestone, 1976), and The Eunuch Woman (Greer, 1971) in order to understand the position of the authors on marriage as a locus of subordination and exploitation and ways to break and subvert this fate. By contextualizing the debate on marriage, the discussion addresses as problems the formal and legal equality in the marriage contract and the claim for equal marriage in the critical perspective to liberal conceptions of Western white feminism as the dominant political discourse. In this way, it is understood that feminisms are spaces for creating political realities that are resistant to the heteropatriarchal system with regard to marriage.
