N2 - In most countries, men are the principal asylum applicants, while women are admitted through family-reunification procedures. Family reunification implies that women’s residence permits are contingent onremaining married to their husbands. Using a staggered Difference-in-Differences (DID) Design, I documentthat granting asylum to family-reunified women improves their economic integration, increases the probabilityof divorce and decreases their risk of being victims of violence. I find significant impacts on victimization andeconomic integration regardless of whether the woman remains married or not.
