This article offers an integrative review of the literature on women’s migration in domestic work and cross-border marriages in Asia. We tease out the converging and diverging factors underpinning women’s migration for marriage and domestic labor in Asia, with respect to the global political economy, gendered ideologies and desires, as well as brokerages that mediate the flow of women’s migration. We then discuss various modes of control over the rights, bodies, and mobility of migrant women, highlighting the distinctive mechanisms of control made visible through resistance on the part of migrant wives and domestic workers. By bringing the literature of marriage migration and domestic labor migration into dialogue with one another, we illuminate interconnected processes and parallels, and point out concrete areas that the two sets of literature can enrich each other by cross-fertilization for future research on gender, labor, and migration.
