Could India Soon Have Marriages Between People & AI?

"In sickness and in health. Till death do us part" That's one of the notions that make for a strong marriage, as per one of the major religions of the world. But, sometimes, marriages may have rocky foundations. Sometimes, the spark fizzles out. Sometimes, people get bored and they don't find monogamy all that appealing. Maybe, over time, priorities change and people in a marriage start giving each other less time. Some may end up wanting more support. Others feel like they have to compromise on getting a perfect partner worried they will end up never being wed. Maybe, at some point, each party of a couple ends up becoming just co-habitants of a house. But, does technology change all of that? Sure, it seems like the golden age of AI is underway. But, beyond the apparent impact of AI across industries, has it gone beyond business use cases to provide something more personal? The 2013 Hollywood movie "Her" with Joaquin Phoenix, before he became a Joker, seemed to warn us, but at the time, it seemed too futuristic for any of us to really care. But, are those connections really forming?
