US COUPLE PREFER LIVE TOGETHER RELATIONSHIP



Fifty per cent couples in the US are choosing to live together before they are married and forty per cent of them end up tying the knot, according to new research. The number of women who move in before marriage has increased across all race groups, except for Asian women, the study by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found. Researchers found that between 2006 and 2010, about half of women included in the study had lived in with a partner before getting married, versus 43 per cent in 2002 and 34 per cent in 1995. The relationships might even be better for it as 40 per cent of those women ended up married within three years and one in five became pregnant, New York Daily News reported. The amount of time couples live together before marriage has also increased - from an average of 13 months in 1995 to 22 months in 2006-2010. Education plays a big part in cohabitation, according to the study. Seventy per cent of women without a high school diploma moved in before marriage, versus 47 per cent of women with at least a bachelor's degree. Experts said the data reflects on looser attitudes about marriage and having children out-of-wedlock. Twenty-three per cent women said marriage was their first time living with a partner. Researchers based their findings on more than 12,000 interviews of women aged 15-44, between 2006 and 2010.

Doctors and hospitals got a stern message from consumer fora, which asked the Centre and the Medical Council of India (MCI) to identify and take action against the "black sheep" in the profession who did not hesitate to put patients' lives at risk for greed. "We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MH 370 CRASH AREA NOT INDIAN OCEAN

The search for the missing Malaysian jet suffered yet another blow today after Australia ruled out a large area in the Indian Ocean where four acoustic signals were detected as the final resting place of the plane. The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Bluefin-21, completed its last mission searching the remaining areas in the vicinity of the acoustic signals detected in early April by the Towed Pinger Locator deployed from the Australian ship Ocean Shield. "The data collected on yesterday's mission has been analysed. As a result, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre can advise that no signs of aircraft debris have been found by the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle since it joined the search effort," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre that is leading the search said.
