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.
