Relationships among young men and women are increasingly driven by digital platforms like social media and messaging apps, making it easier to meet, communicate, and stay connected.
This shift has led to the rise of cyber or "digital affairs," particularly in India. smartphones, cheap data, and constant connectivity have made such relationships common among the younger generation.
However, this digital trend has a darker side. With the growth of online affairs comes a spike in cybercrimes, including scams like "digital arrest" and "honey trap" schemes that ruin lives.
These online relationships often lack depth and commitment, leading them to end quickly. Despite their fleeting nature, they are contributing significantly to the increase in criminal activities.
