Socio-Religious and Socio-Cultural Perspectives of Delayed Marriage
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Marriage remains an important institution laying the foundation of a family which is the bedrock of a society and an ideal, even though it is delayed due to modernity (Kelani, 2014). Modernity is the shift in the philosophy of the West about the world due to the breakthrough of science and technology which transformed traditional society of the past to modern society as it is found today in the West. This shift in the philosophical base totally undermined the super structure, of which marriage institution is one, of Western societies. In the world today, modernity and modernization have untied the leash on the connotation of marriage and this has given way to various alternatives to marriage such as cohabitation, single parenthood, gay and lesbian marriage and delayed marriage. Generally, the trend in the age of first marriage in contemporary societies among the educated is on the rise, for the reasons of long stay in school, career pursuit, urbanization, exposure to mass media and so on (Kelani, 2014).
