Indian Urban Relationship - New Trend

As time changes humans have to change and this change is actually changing the culture. Here is a brief report of change in trend of Indian Urban family lifes.The major thing is that its changing to a different culture in such a pace that it will override the western culture very soon (both in good and BAD ways).

A survey conducted by CNN-IBN reveals the following things in the urban family life moreover urban concept over marriage.The survey shows that 10% of Indian urbans want to have the marriage of girls before the age of 18. While 80% wants it to be after 18. There is a minority of 1% people who wants the marriage of girls only after the age of 30. Any way it shows a good sign compared to 30 years ago. Still the feeling of ' a girl cannot be married after she is 30' or ' there is a problem with a single woman after the age of 30' seems to be predominating.

Coming to boys the survey shows that 10% of urbans think that a man should marry only after the age of 30. While the majority or 78% people thinks that the marriage of man should happen before the age of 30. Interestingly 3% of urban boys wants their marriage before the age of 18.

Coming to live-in relations, 22% of young metro men agree that there is no problem with live-in relations. 10% of the Urbans also think in the same way.28% of women also back them with similar views.

69% of the Urban Indians feel that marital infidelity is not the end of marriage. 63% of non-illeterates support the same feeling while 79% of them are graduates.

Divorce : 48% of the urban indians support divorce if the couple is found to be incompatible. Another interesting thing to note is that when asked seperately 13% of the married persons would like to remarry if they are given a chance to do so. These reports show the weakening relationship in our urban society.

79% of the single men would like to have their own children while 84% of single women wishes the same. Another fact found out is that 28% boys think that there is no problem with sex before marriage and 36% girls support them with same views. Some expressed the feeling that "Marriage is just an indian certificate for a girl and boy to sleep together".

Changes are always good and they are necessary for the survival. But one thing that we have to take care is donot induce change just for the sake of a change.
