According to the research, nowadays there is a huge decline in the number of virgin wives.

You will be shocked to know the reason behind this. This research not only highlights social change but also shows how there is a clash between modernity and old customs.

What does the research say?

A recent study conducted by a prestigious Social Science Research Institute found that nowadays there has been a huge reduction in the number of virgin wives at the time of marriage. According to the research, this number has fallen by about 40% in the last decade. This research was done in various cities and rural areas of India, which included women aged 18 to 30 years.

Researchers believe that there are many social, economic and cultural reasons behind this decline. Some of these major reasons are discussed in detail below.

Education and economic independence

Nowadays women are more educated and financially independent than before. Due to increasing awareness towards higher education and career, women are now getting married late. During this time they also take independent decisions in their personal life, which also includes sexual relations. According to research, this trend is being seen more in urban areas.

Change in social customs

In old times, virginity was considered an important criterion for marriage. But nowadays this perception is gradually changing. In modern society, people no longer give as much importance to virginity as it was given earlier. Liberal views of society and spread of sex education are also a big reason behind this.

Effect of dating culture

Nowadays the prevalence of dating culture is increasing rapidly. Young people now date for a long time before marriage and having sex during this time has become common. According to research, more than 60% of the youth admitted that they have had sex before marriage.

Effect of media and internet

Media and internet have also played an important role in this change. There is an open discussion about sexual relations through films, web series and social media. This is also changing the attitude of the youth.

Reduction in family pressure

In earlier times, the pressure of family and society was so high that girls were forced to remain virgins till marriage. But nowadays family pressure has reduced and girls are taking their own decisions.

Effect on society

This change is having a profound impact on society. On the one hand, while it reflects the freedom of women and their rights, on the other hand it is also creating a conflict with old customs and culture. Many people are seeing it as a decline of society, while some consider it a part of modernity and progress.

Expert opinion

Sociologists believe that this change is natural with time. Dr. Anjali Sharma, a renowned sociologist, says, "The role of women and their thinking is changing in modern society. Their view on virginity has also changed. This change is a part of the development of society."

This research not only highlights the changes taking place in society but also shows how there is a conflict between modernity and old customs. In the coming times, this change will be even more evident and society will have to adjust to it.
