“Threads
of Identity: Fashion as a Symbol of Self-Expression in Kavita Daswani’s For Matrimonial
Purposes” is a research paper that explores how characters use fashion to
assert their identities, challenge societal norms, and navigate cultural
expectations. The study uncovers the relationships between fashion, gender
roles, societal norms, and cultural heritage, highlighting fashion’s emotional
and psychological dimensions as a means of self-expression and empowerment. The
paper suggests potential areas for future research, such as exploring the
intersections of fashion with race, class, and cultural heritage and addressing
ethical considerations and sustainability practices within the fashion
industry.
