Abstract

According to Manusmriti, Sonnetopatti and Dharma are the main objectives of marriage marriages. The liberation is achieved by the patriotism and devotion by devotion to God. 1. Similar thoughts have been expressed in Yajnavalkya Smriti. 2 But in the three objectives, the place of work is the most lasting and if any of these are abandoned Work must be abandoned first. The importance of childhood was rooted in the belief that the son only protects the father from falling into hell. Manu has presented the age of the bride and groom respectively 30 and 12 years and 24 and 8 years respectively. Similarly, in the disciplinary festival of Mahabharata, 30 and 10 and 12 and 7 years are given. 4 According to most theologians, Must be below the age. In the society, it was considered proper to marry such girls whose brothers are. 5 Manu and Yagnavalkya Dwen have spoken of taking cautiously in the election of the upper. Manu wrote that even if the virgin remains unmarried, but not to the virtuous bride, she should not give it to her 6 and if she gets a good and beautiful groom in the total and the conduct, then even if she does not get the age of marriage, then the father should give a daughter to Brahmavidya. 7 Yagnavalkya It is said that the girl is given only once (in marriage), but if there is a better second than the groom, then the given daughter should be taken away. 8 She is known for her family The emphasis is on free and genetic diseases. 9 But for the girl, with its beauty and good characteristic, all the texts have been given a lot of strength. 10 Sagittar, Saptar and Sapindi (seven generations of father and mother The blood of five generations used to be identical.) 11 The rules for not marrying a girl were mandatory. 12 Such marriages were not considered to be prominent. Both Manu and Yagnavalkya have described 8 types of 13 marriages in their memories, in which the first four paved (valid) and the last four have been disallowed (invalid).
