"Monogamy is so last season"

If that's what you believe, well, you're not the only one.

One has to be living under a rock to have not noticed the changing face of modern day marriages. As more and more young (and not so young) couples choose to redefine what it means to be monogamous, for some, the institution of marriage is dying a slow death, and for some others, it's no longer what it used to be. No matter which side of the debate you fall on, there are enough and more statistics to tell you that marriages aren't what they used to be, and married men and women are cheating on their partners now more than ever.

The French extra-marital dating app, Gleeden, recently did a survey to understand and comprehend why Indian women cheat on their husbands. The app has been in India for almost a decade and has a total of over 5 lakh subscribers in India, out of its 5 million global users. And one of the most interest findings of this survey was that 20 per cent men and 13 per cent women of the app's subscriber base in India confessed to having cheated on their spouses. The average age group of the app's female subscriber base in India is 34-49, and more and more women are choosing to get online to find an equation outside their marriage.
