Pankajsocial media isn’t really too social.
社交媒体不太社会化
It is bringing people closer. To that extent it is as per anticipation. But coming closer to some people may necessitate separation from existing companions. Earlier marriage was irrevocable in Hindu religion. With changing times & value system divorce has evolved. Old & new order have their pros & cons.
社交媒体让人们走得更近。某种程度上，这是符合预期的。但是某些人的走近，也许会导致已有的伴侣分开。早些时候，在印度教，婚姻是不可废止的。随着时代的改变，离婚也已经逐步形成。新旧秩序都有各自支持者和反对者。
Truth SachToo much involvement in Social media is destroying family values and relations…. Divorce is the end result.
社交媒体的过度卷入，毁掉了家庭价值观和关系。结果就是离婚

在印度可是事实，还有就是由于孤独，年轻夫妇转向社交媒体找新对象，没有给婚姻合理的呵护时间，这是婚姻破裂的主要原因。
Even before social media came into existance, people cheated. but they hid it more efficiently and te partners rarely found out. now with social media, such incidents are easier to track. also its easier now to FIND a person to cheat with using social media than it was when people met mostly only through mutual friends etc
社交媒体还未出现，人们就会欺骗了。就是隐藏得更深，很少会被发现。如今，随着社交媒体的出现，这种事件很容易就追踪到。而且，有了社交媒体，人们欺骗对方更容易了。
