    Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Mate Selection
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1980) Jain, Manjusha; Sharma, M. L.
    All societies consider married life the most desirable type of existence for adults. Marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union between one or more husbands and one or more wives that accord status to their off-springs and is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners. The Universality marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions it performs, such as procreation and prevision !or sexual gratification and regulation, care of children and their education and socialization, regulation of lines or descent, division of labor between the sexes, economic production and consumption and provision tor satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status and companionship. The kinds of institutions and customs that a society develops to fulfill these functions depend on a number or characteristics, as size and complexity of a society, level of economic development, form of kinship system and the nature of economic, political and religious institutions. That's why, the Marriage Pattern in the Western countries is quite different from that of the Eastern countries. In Western countries one of the most unique feature of mate selection is the importance of apparently irrational factor, romantic love, which tells something about their attraction and emotions, little about their compatibility. Lavs and customs also alike are based upon dreams of spinsters, the result has been an extreme prevalence of divorce and an extreme rarity of happy marriages. This type of mate-selection system in Western countries is not coming from the ancient time but it is the product of social changes and a.. mere fact of equality among both sexes. Ideals of marriage are all constantly changing into entirely new forms, in response to general changes in the social environment.
