In recent years, discussions around relationships, loyalty, and marriage in India have taken a new turn. Social media, dating apps, and changing lifestyle choices have reshaped how men and women approach love and marriage. One noticeable trend is the rising debate on why Indian girls are being accused of cheating more often and why many Indian boys are losing trust in marriage. While not every relationship faces this issue, the growing perception highlights deeper social, cultural, and psychological factors.
In traditional India, marriage was considered a sacred bond, largely arranged by families. But today, many individuals, especially in urban areas, explore love marriages, dating apps, and live-in relationships before committing. This shift has created confusion between commitment and personal freedom, often leading to misunderstandings and cases of cheating.
One major reason cheating happens is unmet emotional needs. If partners stop communicating openly, the emotional void can push one towards someone who listens and understands better. This happens across genders, but men often highlight girls cheating due to emotional dissatisfaction.
Exposure to Western culture through movies, OTT platforms, and social media has normalized casual dating, breakups, and multiple relationships. While exploring relationships isn’t wrong, it has led to a reduced seriousness about loyalty, which directly affects marriage trust.
It’s unfair to say only Indian girls cheat. Boys cheat too, and cheating is a human problem, not gender-specific. The difference is that social media narratives highlight women’s cheating more, making it seem like a bigger trend.
The rising mistrust in marriage is not just about girls cheating but about changing values, expectations, and priorities in modern India. Both men and women need to practice loyalty, communication, and emotional maturity for relationships to last. Instead of blaming one gender, society should focus on understanding modern challenges in love and marriage.
