    Is the sanctity of marriage gradually deteriorating in the high-tech era of today?

    The modern world of today has undergone plenty of changes. The festivals, the attires, lifestyle, food habits, and many other ways of life have been altered especially by young men and women. This situation has been created for various reasons. For example, those who work in corporate companies are always busy with their jobs and do not have enough time to celebrate the festivals with their family as they had done some years.

    Now, let me come to the point which has made me think about the way some youngsters argue about not believing in marriage and even if they get married to please their parents, they get divorced even if they do not see eye to eye with their partners for small matters. I have witnessed some cases where the parents had spent their hard-earned money on grand weddings of their daughters and were devastated when the daughters either got separated or divorced within a year of their wedding. It is justifiable to some extent when they argue that they do not care for the people of the society and want to come out of wedlock because they feel uncomfortable living with somebody who has different views towards life.

    I do agree that there are some genuine cases and appreciate those who oppose abusing partners and harassing in-laws and filing for divorce.

    Some young people also support live-in relationships and are comfortable living together with their partners out of wedlock. Marriages used to be considered holy and people used to have sentiments and were afraid of breaking ties with their partners. They used to think very carefully before opting for divorce.
    The way the divorce rate has been increasing especially in India makes me think 'Are the youngsters of today of marriageable age think about 'marriage' in a different aspect? Please share your views.

    We have discussed the same topic in various forms. In the following posts, members have provided their views in different ways.

    1. Divorce cases are increasing
    2. Harmonious marriages: does the old have nothing to offer, even now?
    3. Why are divorce cases in India increasing and how to reduce them?

    I don't think there will be different opinions from those mentioned in the above posts; hence, this thread is locked for further responses.

    It is true that the modern world has undergone many changes, including changes in attitudes towards marriage and relationships. The younger generation tends to view marriage differently than their parents and grandparents did. There are several reasons for this shift in perspective, including changing societal norms, economic factors, and individual preferences.

    One factor that has contributed to this change is the increasing emphasis on individualism and personal freedom. Young people today are more focused on their own goals and aspirations and are less willing to compromise their independence for the sake of a traditional marriage.

    Additionally, many young people today have grown up witnessing the high divorce rates and unhappy marriages of their parents or other family members. As a result, they may be hesitant to enter into a marriage that they perceive as potentially unhappy or unfulfilling.

    The rise of live-in relationships and cohabitation is also a reflection of changing attitudes towards marriage. Many young people today view these arrangements as a way to test the waters and see if a long-term commitment is right for them before making the decision to get married.

    It is important to note, however, that not all young people are opposed to marriage. Many still value the institution and seek out long-term committed relationships. However, they may approach marriage differently than their parents or grandparents did, placing more emphasis on equality and mutual respect in the relationship.
