The Newlyweds: Rearranging Marriage in Modern India

by Mansi Choksi

Description

An intimate work of narrative journalism, this book follows three young Indian couples who seek to build marriages on their own terms in a society where love, family, caste, religion, and social expectation remain deeply intertwined. Through their experiences, it explores the risks and possibilities of choosing a partner independently—and the complex negotiations that follow with parents, communities, and institutions. Combining vivid reportage with cultural insight, the book offers a nuanced portrait of modern India and the evolving meaning of marriage, autonomy, and belonging.
