The correct answer to the question is option b, which is A and R are correct but R does not explain A.
No evidence has been found suggesting child marriages took place during the early Vedic period. Historians are of the opinion that child marriages in India, were a result of Muslim invasion. Unmarried Hindu girls were seized by the invaders and taken away. To prevent this, Hindus started marrying off their daughters at an early age.
Most rituals during the later part of Vedic period were performed by males. It was customary for males to be involved in temple duties and anything to do with places of worship.
