A psychological study of marriages in Bengal

In post-independence India several changes have been observed in the structure of marriage. There are a lot of difference in the conditions prevailing before 1947 and the present situation. The economic social and political values have been thoroughly re-oriented. The marriage acts have brought in new life into the society which was conventionally deprived even to its most legitimate members. The new socialization, the inter personal relations, the national wars have paved a way for the speedy emergence of the new social ideas and with it new awakening in modern times.
