Marriage practices and women's duties




The marriage was practiced only after sexual maturity in the Vedic age. In Rig Veda there is no clear indication of the age of marriage. Avesta shows that the marriage of girls in Iran proves to be the use of the term 'Uvva' for the marriage of the age of 15-16 years, the virgin marriage is in youth. The girl used to go to her husband's house as a wife. Marriage mantra shows that married girls were not adverse to adolescent or teenager. To prove child marriage in the Vedic period, this evidence is given that for the slaughter, the word 'arbha' has been used in Rig Veda,But here the meanings of the meaning should not be taken from childhood, but with a sense of tenderness, because Vimad was an infant, but he had defeated his opponent and received the bride. Following the observance of the homes and the chronicles, it is known that the girls were married after the onset of puberty. In some of the astrologers, a symptom of a female chosen for a bride is described as nudity.Buddhist literature shows that till the 4th century BC, the marriage of the daughters was till the age of 16 years. At the time of marriage, she was in full puberty.Vishakha and Kundlakshi were 16 years old while entering the Sandhya, when the idea was about her marriage. According to Jataka tales, Pattacha had fled with her lover, Because parents were not allowed to marry if they wanted to. According to Vasishta and Buddhanan, if the eligible ward does not get, then the girl could be kept for three years even after the girl got married. Manu has written that even if a young woman remains unmarried in her father's house throughout her life, the father should not marry her in a virtuous person. In the marriageable age of girls around 400 BC, gradually decreased and during the age of 8 to 10 years, the age of the marriage of the girls began to increase. The nostalgia phase in the maternity leave is considered to be the most suitable age of marriage. According to Parashar Smriti, girl under eight years of age, Nugnika, Gauri, eight year old girl, Rohini, 9 year old girl, A girl of 10 year old girl and a girl above 10 years has been given the name of Rajswala. He emphasized that the girl should be married in the nude state and her parents go to hell because of keeping the girl unmarried till the wedding.If a Brahmin marries a married woman, she should not have any conversation with her or sit in a row with her and take it for food. Gautam Dharmasutra says that before marriage, the girl should get married and she does not feel guilty if she does not. Vasishtha and Boudhyan also provided that the father or guardian becomes a part of the sin of throwing the womb on each menstrual girl's daughter when she is single girl. This is also the case of Narada and Yagnavalkya. Brahmapuraan shows that the marriage of the daughters was started at the age of four years.Generally accepting the age of 8 or 10 years of Brahmin girls by the 6th-7th century. Most classical ideology was the party's point that the girl's marriage should be completed before sexual maturity.According to K. M. Kapadia, there were three important reasons behind the incidence of pre-marriage ideology: virginity, Sanskar and female occupation In the epic period, it was not necessary for the girls to be virgin but in the post-Agra period the girl's virginity was considered to be the best quality and it became an indicator of respect. From the point of view of upholding the moral level of society and the possibility of virginity, the Brahmins composed the pre-marriage marriage legislation. Marriage is the only sacrament for girls in the specified 16 rituals, which gives them purity. This ritual also offers them the initiation of caring for the rights of the households from social and religious perspective, so as soon as they get married, it is good, For this reason, the practice of child marriage may have been encouraged.According to the third legacy transfers, the woman was not considered worthy of freedom. Through the marriage, the transfer of father's lordship goes in favor of the husband, so before that the idea of ​​challenging this transfer in his mind should be marred. It is possible that this is the reason that the legislation of child marriage for girls came into existence.19 From ancient times to modern times, the girls do not raise the question that if the husband is not entitled to change from the marriage, It will be difficult for that reason that Brahmins have created the law of child marriage. According to Dr. Rajbali Pandey, after the complete conquest of India, Arya's life became pleasurable and luxurious and he got busy with full enjoyment of life. For this reason sexual life has started early and marriage too. On the other hand, the study of the Vedas Due to the binding of living a holy and disciplined life, it also became loose and there was no reason to delay the marriage till the time of the pending. The third thing was that foreign invasions started in India from the 4th and 3rd century BC East. Greek, Bactrian, Parthian, and Scythians who were less powerful than Indians but less civilized, Lordship over the North West Frontier Province. In these people the status of women was very inefficient and low level. In these people, women were considered as objects of joy and consumption.Hence, due to security reasons Hinduism's social life was created, premature marriage requirement became a necessity. The final fact also came to light that the girl was considered to be the gift of a gift to the husband by the father and the item which has already been used can not be offered as a gift. Hence, the marriage arrangement began in the nudity of the nude. When the age of the woman's marriage diminished, it was necessary for the boys to have an impact on the marriage age as a large difference in the age of husband and wife is not tolerated in the Hindus.Therefore, the practice of child marriage has been accepted for both boys and girls. 20 In ancient times, Gandharva marriages became popular among the Kshatriyas and others. But later the princes And the nobles raised the benefit of the Gandharva marriage given to the Kshatriyas to satisfy their sexual desire, which culminated in polygamy. It is clear from polygamous legislation in the theology that it was practiced in the upper caste. Brahmin four, Kshatriya three, Vaishya, and Shudra could have a marriage.According to ancient Indian historical traditions many princes and priests had majority wives. The polygamy prevailing in upper castes seems to be that they met most of the social surplus by which they used to follow the larger family. In the Mahatrayaan Code, there are ten wives of Manu found. According to Apstab, the man should not marry his second wife while living with the wife of the religion and the people. Narada is adaptive, moderate, proficient in homework, patriotism, The king has expressed the intention of harsh punishment for leaving a widowed wife and for a man who married a second wife. Hindu Dharmashastra has only given special circumstances, according to him, the wife is bound, her children do not survive, only give birth to the daughters, be feverish, in this situation husband could have another wife. Kautilya also allows sonless husband to have second wife. According to Yajnavalkya, the patients, strained, alcoholic, wasteful, Men can have second marriage even while living in a non-denominational and married wife. Vatsyyan Vandhya advises the wife to persuade her husband to keep her second wife.Yajnavalvay has clearly said that salvation is possible only through sons and grandsons. Therefore, if a person does not have a son from the first wife then he can have more than one wife. Buddhist literature shows that people of Raja and the elite used to polygamy. Mahavagg Jataka says that Magadha King Bimbisar had five hundred wives. Hindu Marriage was a sacred religious rite which could not be easily ended. In some unavoidable circumstances, it has been said that the separation has been done. It was possible only if the woman was an adulterer.Husband's neuter, traveler, seditious, In the event of degeneration, the wife could have abandoned her.Narada and Parashar also support it. According to Kautilya, there can also be a disagreement in case of mutual hatred in husband and wife. The idea of ​​Vaishneshwar is that if the wife is addicted to alcoholic, slimy, diseased, violent, If the unpleasant word is spoken, then the husband can renounce it and marry another woman, but it is compulsory to nourish the wife when she renounces. The perpetrator had the right to receive one-third of his husband's wealth. If the wife was poor then the husband was obliged to give her a loan for maintenance. But if the property had been exchanged in the husband's lifetime, then the wife got equal share of the sons. Smritikar women were opposed to independence. In each case, he had made a statement to stay with the husband and serve the wife and harshly criticized her for abandoning her husband. Manu had given this arrangement that in spite of her husband's abusive, unskilled and virtuous nature, the wife's religion is that worshiping her as if she was a god and worshiping him. Parashar memory says that poor, diseased, The sly husband should not also insult the woman or else she is born again and again in the form of a bitch. In Manu Smriti, marriage is a legislation to cut a woman who is segregating with a dog in public. In the Vedic period, the father's daughter provided some money to the groom's side for the sake of physical disability or in any other way to the contaminated daughters, who later took the form of dowry. Even in memory books, it has been said that marriage is fixed on the basis of bargaining, animal marriage. Draupadi, Sita, Subhadra, and Uday, all given valuable gifts, horses, elephants, Gems were given in the form of gifts. It is also learned from the Jataka tales that valuable gifts were given at the time of marriage. The gift which was given on the occasion of marriage. It was considered as a dowry. At that time gifts were given voluntarily, and it was given only during royal families or elite families at the time of marriage. These gifts in Rig Veda have been called 'Vatu'. Due to the taking of the father's property with the daughter in the lunar orchards, she has been addressed with the word dukhaa. In the religious area, the wife used to consume all the rights and regularly participated in all religious acts and rituals with her husband; In fact, religious acts were considered incomplete until the wife used to participate in it.Women used to participate actively in religious conversations. For the codification of scientific-religious theories and customs, In the gatherings of the unique religions and sects, taking part in the stories of Gargi, Brahmavadini, Vachaknavi, and coaching with men, indicates that in ancient India women had a higher place in the field of religious and education.Commentary written by Sabaraswamy on Gemini is that in the highest religious rituals the participation of men and women was equal. Himadri has called educated unmarried girls as savvy and told that such girls should be married to the same educated groom who was called Manishi. Participating such women of Vaishaknavi, and taking part in the workings with men, indicates that in ancient India women had a higher place in the field of religious and education.Commentary written by Sabaraswamy on Gemini is that the participation of men and women in the highest religious rites was equal. Himadri has called educated unmarried girls as savvy and told that such girls should be married to the same educated groom who was called Manishi. Participating such women of Vaishaknavi, and taking part in the workings with men, indicates that in ancient India women had a higher place in the field of religious and education.Commentary written by Sabaraswamy on Gemini is that in the highest religious rituals the participation of men and women was equal. Himadri has called educated unmarried girls as savvy and told that such girls should be married to the same educated groom who was called Manishi.
