In modern times, people are constantly encouraged to exercise their individuality, yet the pressures of conformity have not become obsolete. Conformity is a pressure that is built into the fabric of society because even though people want to stand out in certain aspects, they want to “conform” in others. Thus, the whole notion of conformity needs to be broken down into its branching elements. Undeniably, throughout various eras, different elements are emphasized or deemphasized. As a result, although the extent of conformity has remained constant, people are conforming on different spheres within these categories. In particular, conformity in marriage has existed throughout time, but the nom has changed as a result of religion, social status, and educational level.
