So you thought that only different religions
(Hindus, Muslims, Christians) have different trends for weddings? It may
surprise a few to know that different wedding trends are followed with the same
religion as well. The reputed wedding institutes like Arya Samaj marriages are
conducted for Hindus by following the rituals of the bride and groom. Below are
some examples of different wedding trends in Hindu marriages:
·
In Brahma marriages, groom's
eligibility is decided by the knowledge of Vedas. Wedding is preferred only
after the boy has completed his student-hood so that he can take care of his
family after marriage
·
In Arsha marriage, either sages
or priests are preferred for marrying the girl
·
Prajapatya Marriages are
conducted in a simple manner without any major monetary transactions
· Besides these, there are other
forms - Gandharva marriage, Asura marriage, Rakshasa marriage, Paishacha
marriage etc. But these forms are not considered as proper as money is more
important here. At times, the bride is married to the groom against her wishes
Arya Samaj Mandirs have worked for the
betterment and up-lift-ment of the society and the women. Still, the evils are
prevalent in our society. Arya Samaj Mandirs in Sonipat were built with the
objective of empowering people to decide and get married without any hassles. This
has contributed in making the life of people much better and easier. The
marriage is absolutely legal and cannot be challenged anywhere in the world.
This has given a new ray of hope to the people who find it difficult to oppose
these unreasonable and age-old traditions followed by people.
