Indian marriages were organized under patriarchy, family dominance, caste endogamy, and defined gender roles. Nevertheless, the expansion of education, urbanization, involvement of educated women in work, exposure to modern means of communication have made young generation rethink their views on marriage and family life. In this context, the present study seeks to explore the impact of education on changing gender marital expectations of educated youth in Rajasthan. The present study is based on primary data collected from 300 respondents belonging to different religions through structured interview schedule. This paper analyzes the attitudes of youth towards women’s education, women’s employment, dowry system, widow remarriage, divorce, role of family in decision making process in marriage and gender equality in marriage. The results of the study show that educated youth prefers equal marital relationship marked by mutual respect, educational compatibility and gender equality. In addition to this, the survey respondents emphasize the importance of parents' advice and family backing, which shows that traditional institutions retain their social significance in spite of evolving gender norms. Instead of superseding traditional norms, education seems to help people negotiate an adaptive process where modern and traditional norms coexist. This research makes a contribution to ongoing sociological discussions of gender, modernization, and transformation of the family as it shows that shifting marriage norms among educated youth can be seen as a result of developing hybrid types of gender relations.
