Marriages of souls-till death do us apart!

In a marriage, it is considered that two people get into a relationship by taking an oath of keeping that relationship till death. I believe it’s the other way around, in the commitment of wedding two souls are bonded together by a natural feeling that is granted to the couple by God. He pulls the right souls together and creates their destiny together by pouring love, care and respect in hearts for each other.

No matter what religion of tradition is followed, the pattern of the promise of keeping that relationship remains the same. Whether it’s an Indian Hindu Marriage, Christian’s Court marriage or Muslims Nikkah Ceremony, the oaths are taken considering God as witness of their oath. Couples take vows by promising that they will take care of each other and will remain in this prestigious and respectful bond till death.

Getting into a bond of marriage is not a one-time thing you invest yourself in it by all means. It is important to maintain the promise made at the time of marriage. In Hindu Marriages, a Mandap is being set up at the day of marriage these arrangements are done by the parents of the bride. The Mandap is decorated with fresh flowers and Pandit sets a small fire in the middle of the Mandap, around which the couples takes 7 rounds, and each round has a vow. This is considered as one of the most scared and important affair of the marriage. Hindu marriages are based on traditions, customs, rituals and values that are sacred for them.

These seven vows that are taken around the little burning fire place within the Mandap are taken as the crux of the whole wedding. The whole process is called as “Saptapadi”.

In a crazy Indian wedding custom, if the bride is Manglik, she is made to first marry a Peepal tree or a dog. It is believed that marrying a Manglik woman results in the early death of the husband.

Profile Search

In traditional India, the giant nexus of the joint family, brokers, and the extended web of relatives and friends were used to look up the profiles of prospective brides and grooms. Looking up suitable profiles would take months and sometimes years as information available was not clear and no definite channels of information existed. Also, the geographical boundaries were restrictive as each broker had a comfort zone to which he/she stuck to, thus prolonging the search for the perfect partner.
