印度仍由父母決定婚姻

一項由《印度斯坦時報》及印度廣播新聞網所做的民調顯示，大多數印度人在與家人同住及選擇結婚對象等議題，想法還是很保守。

Nearly three fourths of the population surveyed believed that parents and not children should have the final say in marriage.

近3/4受訪者認為，父母應有對子女婚姻的最後決定權。

The survey also found that three fourths of the Indians surveyed are opposed to inter-caste marriage. Of all the graduates interviewed, 56 percent were opposed to the idea.

調查還顯示， 3/4被訪者反對跨種姓婚姻，在受訪大學畢業生中，5成6持反對想法。

Again, three fourths of the people interviewed believed that sons should stay with parents rather than set up separate households. Also, only 26 percent of all those interviewed favored dating.

再者3/4受訪者認為兒子該和父母同住，不該自立門戶；只有2成6受訪者偏好自由約會。

However, there was one bright thing that the survey brought forth. When questioned on inheritance, five out of every six Indians interviewed agreed that girls should have equal share in parental property. Xinhua

不過，這項民調還是反映出光明的一面。當被問到繼承權時， 5/6受訪者同意，女孩應有同等權利分享父母財產。
