Married to the stigma

In addition to all this there is the social stigma of having marriages break up. Of late most married couples are working individuals. With work pressure mounting and too many things to handle many relationships are strained and move towards a break up. It is at times like this that the conservative society does point fingers at the modern day love marriage concept. If you consider the same scenario where the working male is married to a girl who chooses to be a housewife in the orthodox arranged marriage system, there are chances the marriage would work, but is it worth the price for having to spend the rest of your life with a stranger.
What’s very difficult to comprehend is that the arrange marriage system still works in this country, but with some luck things will change for the better in a short period. Of late most weddings take place when a man and woman make this decision on their own. Also an educated sector of society is no longer hell bent on marrying people from the same religion. Slowly a segment of Indians has awoken to the fact that marriages are meant to unite a man and women rather than marry religion into religion.
