Marriage is a universal phenomenon and one of the great events in human life. Marriage migration across region and borders has been pervasive all over the world recently. Massive inter-state movements of both males and females to be spouses have received increasing attention among scholars and policy makers.
The number of inter-state marriages has been steadily growing since 1970s and has witnessed a rapid increase in the flow of inter-state marriage migration, particularly between the Kerala, Karnataka, Haryana and Tamil Nadu. There exist different types of inter-state marriages which commonly called as Haryana marriage, Mysore marriage, Mali Kalyanam and Arabi Kalyanam, etc. and a large number of women migrate to nearest states of Kerala as brides in every year.
Mysore marriages are inter-state marriages among the brides of northern Kerala and bridegrooms from Mysore district of Karnataka state. Dilshad (2014) in his study used the term ‘Mysore Kalyanam’ as the specific type of inter-state marriage in which the brides from poor socio economic background and belong to rural remote areas of northern Kerala are married to bridegrooms who are residents of Mysore (Karnataka State) and demand comparatively lesser dowry.
Over the past few decades thousands of village women from economically deprived northern districts of Kerala have chosen to marry men from Mysore, and migrate to live with their husbands. According to a recent survey conducted by the State Women Commission

  • Essay On Gay Marriage In Texas

    1500 Words  | 6 Pages

    Why should marriage in the state of Texas just be confound between a man and a woman? Many people in the gay and lesbian community are having a constant battle with the Texas government about recognizing gay couple’s marriage licenses. We all have the right to love who we love, but why can’t gay and lesbian community have that same right as well? In section 32 of the Texas Constitution it states that “Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman (The Texas Constitution).” I believe that all gay and lesbian couples should have the right to be married in the state of Texas because the U.S Constitution legalized gay marriage and because it wouldn't really effect anyone if gay couples got married.

The essence of this article is that in spite of all the new information of sex equality picks up in the working environment, women are not working out quite as well as reported. Coontz arguments is fundamentally that this new data with respect to women improving, and not withstanding outflanking, men in the working environment are extraordinarily overstated and that it is still basically a male-dominated world.

    Arranged marriage is a controversial practice in many cultures around the world. However, studies have found that roughly 85 percent of Indians prefer to engage in this tradition, and have a higher rate of marrital success than a marriage based on personal choice. (Dholakia, 4) Yet, even considering these statistics, it remains a concept that is met with dissapproval, thought to be archaic and demeaning to those involved. Chittra Banerjee Divakaruni’s short story Clothes depicts a young woman transition, from being obliged to follow this cultural norm, and the shifts in her mentality throughout this process. It is not unreasonable for the reader to view the protagonist, Sumita, to be a victim of this presumably inhumane practice.
