Marriage: An Integrated Study in the Context of Cultural Variation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the structure of marriage, with regional and local variations, in a Kuwaiti tribal community and an Indian village. It provides a rich description of life and culture of the study area in which it highlights the cultural differences between these areas. As the study progresses, it gives a comparative account of marriage and attempts to explain how the structure of marriage is shaped according to the culture. It also sheds light on how the empowerment of women has affected the institution of marriage and family. Finally, the paper shows that marriage is the basic institution in any society, regardless of the cultural variation.
