Cross Cultural Marriages and the Problem of Adjustment in Conjugal Life

Abstract

India is a multicultural society and in the era of globalization people have become more mobile. Love relation among the members representing different cultures is becoming common. But societies and cultures being patriarchal, it is the women who have to make sacrifices and go through the painful process of learning and unlearning cultures. When the husbands extend all support, the wives manage to make the necessary adjustments but when the husbands do not stand by their struggling wives the marriages develop unreconcilable fissures.
