The joint family system has been one of the salient features of the Indian society since a long era. The enormous changes in the family system has documented over a period of century which increases the freedom of marital choice, greater involvement of females in decision making regarding family matter, rises level of education among women, greater conflict between husband and wife, incidence of separation and divorce. Changes in the traditional family system are steadily diminishing the joint family structure from the urban scene. Thus, the present study explores how the love attitude, feeling of security and motivation to acquire relationship threatening information of couples contribute to the marital quality of spouses from urban area in the present era. The sample consisted of 15 couples from joint family and 15 couples from nuclear family. The age of the participants ranged from 30 to 50 years, with minimum five years of length of marriage, from middle to higher socio economic group, at least graduate and having at least one offspring. The participants completed Love Attitude Scale, Indian Adaptation of Maslow's Security-Insecurity feeling Inventory, Motivation to Acquire Relationship Threatening Information Scale and Martial Quality Scale. The data were analyzed using Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis (SMRA) separately for females from joint family, females from nuclear family, males from joint family, and males from nuclear family. Result showed that Erotic Love contributes 20.8% to marital quality for the group of female from joint family and 15.9% to marital quality for the female from nuclear family. Thus, erotic love contributes to marital quality as a whole for the wives from joint as well as nuclear family. On the other hand Pragmatic Love contributes 19.9% to marital quality in case of male from nuclear family. In case of male from joint family, Feelings of security contributes 18.8% to the marital quality but, the result signifies that feeling of security influences negatively to the quality of marriage for the group of joint family male.Keywords

Why do so many women still die in pregnancy or childbirth? WHO has summarized the lack of access and utilization of essential obstetric services as crucial factor underlying maternal deaths. Uptake of institutional birth or aided birth during delivery is the single most important factor in the fight against maternal mortality and morbidity. Yet, in many parts of the developing world the majority of births are still conducted at home with family members or with a traditional birth attendant. The medical causes do not seem to be the only factors that affect maternal mortality. There are various socio-cultural and psychological factors that affect maternal mortality. Maternal deaths are indicative of condition of the women in the society and have long term implication for the development of the country. In this review paper the reasons for uptake of home-delivery are discussed and there is an urgent need to be more sensitive to the psychological reasons behind their uptake of unaided delivery is stressed.Keywords

Violence against women is a universal reality which cuts across cultural, religious, economic and geographical boundaries. Various forms of traditional beliefs are upheld by the human society as social ethics for controlling the sexuality and status of women. This study explored how married women perceive and accept the situations of intimate partner violence. Women from suburban background between age 18years 30 years (Mean age, 27.12 years, SD, 1-55 years) who have undergone intimate partner violence were considered for the study. The research was conducted in the natural setting of the participant. In the research, purposive sampling approach had been used and continued till sample size was met. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for eight respondents from suburban setup. Considering India's patriarchal societal culture, subjugated women and justified male violence towards women. Lack of support from family members and the fear of losing social status numbed the voices women. The current study delves into the reality of female victims of abuse who are trapped in a society where they are forced to accept violence from their partners, divorce is not a choice and where social support of women is extremely restricted.Keywords

There are many misconceptions over the concept of transgender , which had immense impact on the life of the transgender people. They were ostracized by the mainstream society because of the concept of sex-gender binary. And the concept of cure made their life miserable for quite a long time. In line with this, research around the life of the transgender people majorly focused on biological, medical and pathological aspects. Researches were often done on trans people attending clinics, and the findings got generalized on whole transgender population. Only recently the lived experience of the transgender people started getting research attention, which is expected to create a space for the transgendered people to come out and exercise their agency .Keywords

Advertisements are regularly floated in the media that exhibit sufficiently 'bold' messages, to make them stand out in the cluttered world of advertising. Sex being the most primitive instinct of human beings, it is being widely used for tantalizing sexual fantasies of the consumers. This study was conducted upon 60 female participants, age ranging from 20-60 yrs, with the aim to develop an understanding about their acceptance of use of sexual appeal in advertisements. For this purpose, 9 advertisements having varying degrees of sexual content, selected from a pool of 194 advertisements based on judgement of experts, were rated by the participants for sexual content and sexual appeal on 10 point equal interval scale. Data were analysed statistically using Mean, SD, t test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Findings show that even when consumers perceived variation in the extent of sexual contents of advertisements, their liking for those sexual contents did not vary accordingly. Implications of the findings were discussed.Keywords
