Read in the newspaper today that Mexico is planning to allow marriage contract for a fixed duration. At minimum someone will be married for 2 years post which is not renewed the marriage will be annulled. Very interesting thought!
A lot has changed since marriage was conceptualized, the roles of men and women have changed, the life with technology has changed, the social structure has been transformed so marriage as it exists is in some way outdated. No wonder the rate of failed marriages has increased manifold.
Few years from now I am sure a lot of what we take as sacrosanct like marriage will change and the current systems will be seen as we see the earlier systems. Take for example Purdah system, they were a reality and accepted sometime back but in today's context and the way we have grown it is nothing but a cruel system.. Question is - Marriage: Is the countdown for its end begun?
