1.1 Background of the Study
Romance films are one of the most popular genres globally, especially among youths and young adults. These films often portray idealized versions of love, relationships, and marriage, which can significantly shape the audience's expectations of real-life romantic engagements. In Jega Local Government Area of Kebbi State, where traditional values and family structures are deeply entrenched, the influence of romance films on marriage expectations could be particularly impactful. These films often depict scenarios of love, courtship, and marriage that may shape how individuals envision their future relationships (Nwachukwu & Okafor, 2022).
