A new trend of co-living hostels is rising rapidly in Hyderabad. Unlike traditional OYO rooms, these hostels allow boys and girls to stay in the same rooms. Many such hostels are opening across the city.
Parents send their children to cities for studies and jobs, hoping they will succeed. But news about boys and girls sharing rooms raises concerns about what their children are really doing.
This trend is not limited to Hyderabad alone; other major cities in India are witnessing similar changes. The lifestyle choices of young people are becoming more westernised, influenced by freedom and Gen Z culture.
Some youths are choosing multiple relationships before marriage. Spiritual leaders and speakers have warned that such trends may slowly affect traditional values.
This is not just about right or wrong, but also about concern. With such lifestyles, cases of stress, depression, and even suicides among young people are reportedly increasing.
Can short-term relationships lead to a strong marriage in the future? Or should society call it “modern life” and ignore the potential risks? Opinions may differ.
One thing is clear across all ages: morals and loyalty are essential. Without them, no relationship can survive.
