Abstract
The institution of family has persisted in all human societies. Our society is bound by old customs and traditions. Almost everywhere family and marriage is an important institution, which cannot be separated from each other. They are both a cause as well as an effect of each other. A change in the value system of a society is a longitudinal process. It takes place through generations. The young members of society appear to be more receptive to changing values as compared to older ones. The old people having mature attitudes are likely to resist the changes. This gap has always been there in all societies at all times. Every human group apparently has some form of marriage in the sense of public or legal recognition of a more enduring pair relationship and responsibility. Marriage contemplates a permanent union and the conferral of status. The Chinese scholar, Lee`s (1993) says " Individual have been drawn into marriage because of the two outstanding motives one is desire for offspring and the other is love".
