Belgium: One in Three Couples Is Multicultural, Study Finds

In Belgium, one in three couples is now multicultural, a study reveals. Over the past thirty years, the share of multicultural couples has doubled.

Dirk Geldof's team analyzed population data covering thirty years of married couples.

Most common pairings involve two Belgian partners, followed closely by Moroccan-origin couples. Researchers found multicultural relationships often face extra pressure from in-laws and friends.

Couples report unwelcome questions, prejudice, and racism that strain their bond daily. Experts urge tailored support, more counselors with migration backgrounds, and awareness training.
