Abstract

This article focuses on a recent report from the Department of Psychiatry at Dr. M.K. Shah Medical College and Research Center in Gujarat, India, examining the transformation of the institution of marriage in India and the impact of dating apps on traditional matchmaking. It highlights that arranged marriages, historically based on religious, social, and familial factors, are evolving due to increased partner autonomy, shifting gender roles, and technological advancements, with dating apps playing a disruptive role. The research discusses both the historical context and contemporary challenges associated with these changes in Indian marriage norms. [Extracted from the article]
