Sinopsis:

This book explores how women interpret, question, and challenge dominant grand narratives surrounding the institution of marriage through reflections on contemporary cultural representations. Drawing on hermeneutic perspectives and film semiotics, and inspired by the ideas of Anthony Giddens, marriage is seen as a social construct that has often framed women’s roles and identities within certain boundaries. Yet within these dynamics, women emerge as individuals capable of reflection, resistance, and transformation-gradually renegotiating the meaning of marriage itself. Rather than viewing marriage as a fixed social obligation, this book reimagines it as a relationship grounded in equality, companionship, and mutual fulfillment. Ultimately, it invites readers to see marriage as a conscious choice a journey that can be shaped with greater freedom, fairness, and humanity.
