Introduction: This article, represent the present situation of Human Relations in India. Here we will be talking about Expectations of a boy from a girl or vice-versa before marriage or what they look in their would-be before agreeing for Marriage or before accepting the proposal. To prepare this article, I interacted with 770 people across the country, covering cities like Delhi-NCR; Mumbai;Chennai; Kolkata; Pune; Hyderabad; Bangalore and Chandigarh.

In last 5 yrs more people applied for divorce in different courts in India than they did in last 50 yrs. One of the reason is that the Expectations of Spouses are changing. What are these expectations? Lets have a look.
