Social transformation is characterized by changes such as rules of behavior, values, social organizations and cultural symbols. The processes of social transformation took place through migration, sex ratio, increasing literacy rate. Migration is the main process which leads to social transformation. Females contribute to streams of migration mainly for marriage. As far as the rural to rural migration is concerned, it occurs mostly for marriage and other socio-religious and cultural reasons. Such type of migration is essentially female-selective and is widespread in areas with low sex ratio. Haryana is such a peculiar state where very unusual phenomena has been taking place since last few years, which has attracted the attention of scholars from various discipline such as Sociologist, Geographers etc. According to census 2011 sex ratio of Haryana is 877 females per thousand males. In Haryana pressure of continuing the family tree is so immense that people who are unable to find a bride locally create a nexus of contacts in other states and import brides from different parts of India. The present work attempts to study social transformation through culturally distinct marriages in village Kharainthi, Rohtak(Haryana). The study has been conducted using primary data from the village Kharainthi which has been collected by conducting interview schedule and observation methods. The study finds that a large majority of the brides have been brought from different states of India. Most of them have been found to be belonging to the poor states mainly Bihar, Assam and Uttar Pradesh.
