Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]
Dating customs and practices can vary across different cultures. In Malayalam culture, dating is often influenced by traditional values and customs. Here are some interesting cultural insights:
1. Arranged Marriages: In many Malayalam families, arranged marriages are still prevalent. Parents play a significant role in finding suitable partners for their children, considering factors such as caste, religion, and family background.

3. Dating Etiquette: While the dating scene in Kerala has evolved, traditional values are still upheld. Public displays of affection may be frowned upon in certain conservative communities, so it's important to be mindful of cultural norms and practices.
