Question

Marriage is an important institution of human society. In the remote past of human history man was living and behaving like an animal. Then he was hardly ever aware of his relationship ho his parents,brothers and sisters. In the biological kingdom, this primitive man was ever subordinate in status to the animals. Neither did he have the strength of an elephant nor the sharp teeth and claws of the carnivore. He did not even have the hard protective hide of the rhinoceros and could not protect himself by any other extraordinary physical capability. Nevertheless,he did possess the unique human instinct of cooperation and organization, with the help of which, he could dominate over the animals besides protecting and proliferation his own species. But in spite of this natural trait, in absence of permanent arrangements for housing,food and clothes,the primitive man was living in small groups,in large caves and on trees. Since in those days the institution of family had not come into existence, the relation between and woman was different from what it is today,in modern times.There is little doubt that tradition of marriage has made significant contribution in organization and development of human society and with the help of this institution man has been able to make significant achievement by joining much larger families and thereby enlarging fields of activities. Giving due importance to this human necessity, the Indian philosophers declared the ceremony of marriage as a great religious rite, decreeing that the bond between husband and wife be considered ever – lasting ,pious in all activities of life. The couple were to participate with absolute cooperation,so that their resultant contribution became many times than even their combined individual input.This institution of family further enlarged to constitute ethnic groups, which later became the foundation stones for the various nations of the world. The tradition of marriage was adopted by people all over the world with ceremonial modifications according to local requirements and local atmosphere of the region. Nevertheless ,the basic framework of the process continued to be the same in that the suitability of the would be husband for maiden was first ascertained by the father of the girl and on his approval,the couple was declared as man and wife after participating in some religious ceremony. While handing over the responsibilities for looking after bride(Kanya dan),the groom was also gifted with articles of domestic requirements like eatables,clothes and kitchenware.Nowhere in the scriptures there is reference to the so – called tradition of pre–fixing a dowry prior to matrimony, entertaining large number of guests from the groom’s party or celebrating the event with pompous dance,music and feasts for days.​
