Some of the conditions that were part of the findings in the survey include that they wouldn’t want to change their surname post marriage, would like to stay independent post marriage, would like men to take up responsibility of the family and they’d like their husbands to treat their parents as their own. “The survey gives us an interesting insight into how the Indian mindset is evolving. Shaadi.com understands that over the last decade, the Indian woman has continued to evolve to be an even more multifaceted personality and confident in choices. “We have always endeavoured to remain relevant in her partner search and our new communication is simply an expression of her search for compatibility in the journey of togetherness,” Gourav Rakshit, CEO, Shaadi.com, said in a statement.
