1. Indians take marriage very seriously.
2. Marriage in India is the transition to adulthood and it brings about many benefits.
3. Bigamy, which is the act or condition of a person marrying another person while still being lawfully married to a second person, is allowed in India.
I have to agree that marriage as an institution in India will still be continued in the future.
It is true because the Indians take marriage very seriously. According to the article, marriage is deemed as a multi-billion business in India. There are many avenues where businessmen can earn money, namely the houses they build for the newly-weds, the dowry and catering services during the wedding.
It is true because marriage is the transition to adulthood. In India, there are arranged marriages by the relatives and parents. It is also a very critical responsiblity that the parents have to shoulder. Being married brings about many benefits such as the redistribution of wealth among the rich and poor, restructuring social realignments, and of course, bring about the biological reproduction of the families.
It is true because bigamy is accepted in India. From the article, it states that it is very common for bigamy to occur among families in South Indian States such as Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. This means that the men can still be involved with two women at one time. Therefore, it prevents the breakups of families due to adultery since the law actually permits it.
On the other hand, it may not be true that marriage as an institution will still be intact in India in the future. As India is touted as the fastest growing economy in the world, marriage will bring about a higher birth rate which may hinder economic growth. Thus the government may try to implement policies that will discourage people in India to get married.
