Abstract

Marriage is the most valuable relationship in a person’s life in India. It is a sacred bond, aside from biological parents, yet it is essentially a one-time investment. If everything goes well with your transaction, you will be the happiest man alive; if not, awful things happen to you. In this paper, I primarily address the three marital patterns that are increasing commonly in India as well as the paradigm shift from hypergamy to hypogamy to homogamy. This shift is the result of global development which leads to change in mindset of people and women empowerment, but the question is whether there is longevity in such relationships. The paper is analytical as well as descriptive in nature seeking into all the three aspects of marriage and their consequence due to change in mindset and accepting the western culture of live- in relationships and just turning down love relationships by saying “I am over you†.
