چکیده:
The present study aimed to investigate the generational differences in marriage value. Data were collected and analyzed using a survey of 379 people in 2014 (young generation of 163، middle-aged 175، and adult generation 41) in city of Hashtgerd. The findings showed that there is a significant difference in the value of marriage in the generations studied and this effect continues to exist in the presence of socioeconomic variables. However، the score for the marriage value index is moderate and in all three generations there is a combination of traditional and modern values in marriage. The greatest difference in generations is related to the relationship between the girl and the boy before marriage and then marriage with relatives. In other dimensions، in particular، the importance of consenting parents in marriage، the low age of the girl from the boy، and opposition to the suggestion of girls to boys for marriage the view of each generation is close to each other and the differences are small. The results of regression analysis showed generation variable along with gender، type of media and attachment to religious rites have a significant relationship with the value of marriage. The results of this article showed that marriage in Iran and in particular Hashtgerd is still valuable and the generational changes and differences in this area are more in dimensions that can lead to reduction in the harms of inappropriate marriage.
