Survey Claims 53% of Married Indian Women Report Extramarital Relationships

A survey commissioned by Gleeden, an extramarital dating platform, and conducted by IPSOS has sparked discussions about marital relationships in India. The study covered 1,525 married Indians aged between 25 and 50 across eight major cities. According to the findings, 53% of married women surveyed admitted to having intimate relationships outside their marriages, while the corresponding figure among married men stood at 43%.

The findings indicate a difference in reported extramarital relationships between men and women, drawing considerable attention. However, the figures reflect only the responses of the participants included in the survey and should not be considered representative of India's entire married population. The sample size, geographical coverage and research methodology are important factors to consider while interpreting the results.
