Part 9/13:
When asked about the best era for marriage, some respondents suggest the 1950s and 1960s, describing a time when traditional roles were clearly defined and often more functional. However, they acknowledge that this was primarily beneficial for women, who often had a more comfortable domestic life. The decline of traditional marriage models is attributed largely to media influence and a shift away from authentic cultural traditions.
Participants emphasize that pre-1950s marriages operated under very different societal norms—far more hierarchical and self-sufficient—yet these are largely forgotten or hidden from mainstream narratives to promote modern, egalitarian ideals.
