COMMENTARY

I totally agree with you Murshed. The constitution of marriage is most definitely positive aspect of society; it passes on culture capital from one generation to the next. Unfortunately, the concept of marriage has somewhat changed within our post-modern societies, and is now associated with material things. It’s a shame because history itself has shown the marriage is great aspect of society with the exception of the last 80 years or so. No one’s saying its perfect but its good.

Marriage has been considered as one of the building pillars of society. if it's rate declines, the social norm of the people may decline in any rate. Sex must be constrained within a certain limit, and marriage conserves it to a certain extent. A modern state may politically exist as long as the economic driving force exists, however, not a socio-political state which ensures a longer state-life than the former one.
