There are lot of wrong notions have come up like dowry and show of wealth and status in marriage ceremony. On the other hand there are simpler form of marriage as prescriber under Special Marriage Act 1955, providing registration of marriage with no ceremony it also facilitates marriage between persons of different cast and religion. The notion under Hindus that once marriage is perform second marriage is discourage in case of death of husband. This concept has gradually changed now and widows can perform a remarriage basically for safety and security, while under the western culture male female stay together without marriage and even though there are marriages the result in eak down and divorces in multiples. So gradually human society is progressing and developing with the institution of marriage though it may not be as strong as it use to be with lot of alternatives and forms and the rate of dissolution of marriage has also gone up suggesting a new trend.</p>
