🔹Marriage and family therapist Pooja Mamidanna, said that within traditional Indian culture, marriage is seen as holy matrimony and the blending of two families. Indians primarily only want to get married once to someone from their own ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and aren’t open to intercaste, interracial, and inter-religious marriages.  While the older generation of Indian Americans tends to hold more of these traditional, orthodox perceptions of marriage and divorce, the younger generations have developed more progressive views. ⁣⁣

🔹Mamidanna said that these statistics may have to do with acculturation, as the present generation is more inclined to find a spouse who has a blend of Indian and American cultural identity. Since the Indian Americans who were born and raised here were exposed to different societal ways than those in India, she notes that many also want that for their own families and future spouses.⁣⁣

🔹They really can tell the [traditional Orthodox] patterns that exist within their family system, and some of them want to advocate to live a life for themselves where they’re able to be independent when they want to be, but then [are] also able to have that family support,” Mamidanna said.⁣⁣
