Abstract :

Spousal selection has been the most basic human activity in the family during the thousands of years of community life. These actions have always been inspired by personal tastes, ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds to determine who has played a key role in their lives in the future. However, today, changes in living, ethnicity, immigration and the growth of communication networks have brought about serious changes and increasing harm to this part of human life. The present study is a qualitative research of thematic analysis that examines the views of people about the damages of spouse selection in Isfahan city. Targeted sampling method was used to collect the experimental data and was performed by semi-structured interview with 20 people in the community. In the analysis of the themes, it has been determined that economic thinking in choices plays a decisive role. Decreased religious and ethical standards and the choice of individuals to grow and improve social situations have increased significantly. Also, the minds of young people have a kind of mental paradox in the style of modern and traditional choices, the power and role of families have diminished, and choices are quick and merely romantic
