Indian society has moved a long way from the way the marriage is arranged in the story. Discuss.

A decade ago the marriages were arranged by the family members but this has changed drastically with time. Now, everyone wants a partner who is equal to them in all capacities. Men want to marry a mature working woman who is also self-sufficient. Women in the past were treated as mere objects on display who would be selected only based on their looks and the ability to cook food. Now, this has changed to a large extent.
