Decline of Marriage System

                                                                                                                                                                                       Marriage system is based on Contract or on religious Sanctity. However its concept depends upon the relative religion of the concerned parties. Besides that it is also a foundation of civilized societies.  It is being observed that the marriage system is now loosing its main purpose of disciplining  the young couples who are supposed to create the good and pleasant societies. The system which was formed on Understanding, Adjustments, and sacrifice has apparently lost all its qualities . Therefore the cracks are appearing in the marriage system. The Economical conditions, Marriage laws and the Wrong concepts of Privacy/ Liberty have thrown Fuel in the Fire.

                                           In the view of above the new concept of living in relationship with contract or to live in relationship with understanding has come up. That amounts to have licence to live in intimate relationship or  sexual relationship without any responsibilities on the part of concerned partners.These are the clear cut signals of declining marriage system.
                                           The half of America is single.It may be because of death of the one of the spouses or a person is divorcee or a person is unmarried. The divorce rate of the married couple is also increasing. The divorce rate of the world to day stands to 20% while it is 50% in USA. It is observed from survey that the Average age for marriage in  USA  for boy is  about 33 years while for girl it is about 28 years. This shows that next generation is delaying the marriage for the best reasons known to them.
                                            Even the rate of divorce is also going  up. The Japan is traditional and  very conservative country wherein the divorce rate has reached as high as 32%.  Even in India also the divorce rate has gone up to 14%. The marriage is considered  to be pious and  life long  bond in Indian Culture.  In spite of that the divorce rate is increasing in India. It is a matter of great concern for Indian society.
                                             The question arises in the mind that "Why so many divorces are  taking place in the Society ?  There are some specific reasons for the divorce but we have fail to rectify the same.  Following are some of the reasons for divorce.
1) Nowadays the Marriage are mainly based based on physical attraction which vanishes with the time.
2)Some time different brought up with different natures or status or  traditions also creates rift in the couple and ultimately it reaches to divorce.

 3)The ladies are now well educated which makes them  career minded. It blocks the road of adjustments

4) There are no feeling of sacrifice, and adjustments among the partners.

5) The wrong concept of limitless liberty and too much privacy also bring the divorce.  

                                               However all these things show that marriage system is on declining stage. Therefore it is necessary to take corrective steps in order to stop further deterioration of the marriage system.  It is better to take necessary action before it is too late
