Whether the concept is justa pre determined notion by the ancestors to succeed in the society or is it absolutely essential forsurvival is debatable. The different existent communities of the world have different customs andtraditions associated with the concept of marriage.

CASE STUDY ON ABOLITION OF MARRIAGE2The advancement of technology has also led to factors which negatively impact theconcept of marriage. This is because the technological advancement has led to increased levelsof social connectivity and therefore the need for being with one particular person has decreased.People are connected with thousands of people from all around the globe. They also fail to fulfiltheir marital as well as familial responsibilities and thus make it extremely difficult for them tostay in a positive and understanding marriage. The social networks lead to increased levels ofaddiction towards the online connectivity networks and lesser and lesser interest towards aperson’s daily life (Gordon, 2013). The increasing amounts of responsibilities of an individual’sjob life leave no scope for fulfilling the familial responsibilities as well. Marital discord as wellas instances of application for divorce has risen and the divorce rates have also increasedsignificantly over the years. All these prevalent issues has lead to the concept of the abolition ofmarriage. This means that marriage needs to be completely and formally put an end to. This issupposed to mean that people of marriageable age should completely ignore getting attached tosomeone officially at their suitable age because they need not consider this ritual at all (Frimmel,Halla & Winter-Ebmer, 2014).It can be said that when a person is young, there are relatively non-existent liabilities, butwith age and also with marriage come a huge number of responsibilities. There have beeninstances where people have been forcefully dragged into the institution of marriage and theyhave failed at retaining it. There have been increased divorces rates in different countries all overwhich vouch for the fact that going into marriage especially for young people is absolutely not agood idea. In case the divorce rate statistics are to be believed then it can be easily said thatpeople have divorced more than once even in cases where they have married according to theirwill and wish (Fletcher, 2013).
