Abstract	Abstract The emergence of digital media has profoundly transformed social relationships and institutions worldwide. One of the most affected institutions is marriage, which has historically been a cornerstone of family structure and social organisation. Digital media platforms such as social networking sites, online dating applications, and communication technologies have reshaped how individuals form relationships, communicate with partners, and manage marital life. This study examines the impact of digital media on the institution of marriage from a sociological perspective. The research investigates both positive and negative influences of digital media on marital relationships, including partner selection, communication patterns, marital satisfaction, trust, and conflict. The study employs a mixed-methods research design that combines survey data, secondary literature analysis, and sociological interpretation. Findings suggest that digital media has expanded opportunities for partner selection and enhanced communication among couples.
