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 on
remaining married to their husbands. Using a staggered Difference-in-Differences (DID) Design, I document
that granting asylum to family-reunified women improves their economic integration, increases the probability
of divorce and decreases their risk of being victims of violence. I find significant impacts on victimization and
economic integration regardless of whether the woman remains married or not.
