In the last few decades the manner in which we engage and select a partner has changed drastically in most cultures around the world. In the Indian community in South Africa the change is experienced even more intensely as the post apartheid years have given the youth more independence and freedom. Young adults are consulting parents and elders even less regarding decisions such as choice of marital partners etc. When the author became aware of the number of young couples in the community separating after a short period of marriage, a discussion with elderly people in the community spurred the thought in the author’s mind of whether the method of selecting a mate influences marital satisfaction. The primary purpose of this book was to investigate the marital satisfaction between couples of arranged marriages and that of autonomous marriages in an Indian community in South Africa. The analysis has shed some light on whether the selection of partner affects the levels of satisfaction one experiences in marriage. This book should interest Marital Therapists, Psychologists, Social Scientists and married couples from all walks of life.
