"Marriage A Sanskar" |
|
|
It is
said that marriages are made in heaven and life partners are
decided on the birth |
| of a boy or girl even though the search
for the right life partner or match starts |
| when the boy or girl reaches marriageable
age. |
| In Indian Culture, marriage is a
"Sanskar" where the concept of starting a new FAMILY
|
| is cherished by every one. |
| ..... |
| The process of selection of life partners
has changed considerably over the years. |
| Earlier, girls were considered
marriageable at the age of 10-12 years, then 16, then
18. |
| This change is also a
reflection of the importance given to educating
girls. |
| ..... |
| Simultaneously, there was a change in the
system of marriage arranged by parents, proposed marriages,
|
| love marriages & inter-cast
marriages. |
| ...... |
| In olden days the Purohit used to suggest
the names of eligible boys & girls. |
| Then relatives, neighbours, family
friends started informing names of prospective boys &
girls. |
| Today, we are moving away from an era of
joint families. |
| We are adopting flat culture from old
houses/wadas when we move to cities for jobs or for higher
education. |
| Today our boys & girls are proceeding
abroad to pursue higher studies or |
| for better prospects in their
careers. |
| All this has
resulted in communication gap amongst
us and |
| people are finding difficulties in their
'search' for the right match. |
| ..... |
| The introduction of Marriage Bureaus, in
reality, helps parents to fill this communication gap by
providing |
| name, address and more details of
marriageable boys & girls at one place in their
search. |
| Reshim Gathi is a professionally managed,
provider of such services. |
