  abstract = {{T}hrough the prism of gender relations within the couple, this article analyses how married couples manage birth control in the {P}alestinian {T}erritories, where fertility remains high despite women's high level of education. {U}sing data from the {P}alestinian {F}amily {H}ealth {S}urvey conducted in 2006 and from detailed interviews of married men and women conducted in 2010-2011, we analyse the prevalence of contraceptive use in the {P}alestinian {T}erritories and its determinants, as well as the influence of each spouse in contraceptive choices according to their type of conjugal relationship, and the link between gender relations within the couple and the type of contraception used. {A}lthough contraceptive use is widespread, it remains subordinate to the powerful social norm of having many children, especially sons, which prevails irrespective of the woman's socio-demographic characteristics. {T}he organization of fertility control varies according to the type of conjugal relationship, and depends on individual reproductive histories. {C}ontraception and reproduction nevertheless always involve both spouses, and the couple is emerging as the main decision-making unit.},
