just want to note how indian marriage is different from marriage in other countries. in our understanding, marriage is a joint decision of the bride and groom, and in india the decision to marry is fully taken by the groom's parents.

they are looking for a worthy bride to their son, agree with her parents, and in case of obtaining consent, the date of the wedding is set.

a wedding in india is not only a combination of two hearts, but also a combination of two souls. hindus believe that a wedding ceremony unites souls for seven consecutive lives. divorce and remarriage for indian women is very rare.

great importance is attached to the bride's chastity, no one marries a girl deprived of chastity. people who have entered into an unchaste marriage immediately become social outcasts.
