The institution of marriage and family has been a fundamental component of human society for millennia, serving as the primary unit of social organization, cultural continuity, and economic cooperation. Despite its enduring presence, the conceptualization and structure of marriage and family have never been static; they have evolved significantly in response to changing social, economic, and cultural conditions. In the contemporary world, particularly among young people, these changes are more pronounced than ever before.
