Wedding in India

Wedding in India is a special holiday, which is necessarily accompanied by ancient traditions and rituals. Indians believe that marriage is not only the joining of two people, but also of their souls. After marriage, the families of the bride and groom become very close. All problems are solved together.

Differences between an Indian wedding and marriages in other countries

 

In the developed countries of the world, the decision to get married is made by the girl and the boy, while in India it is made by the groom’s parents. It is they who choose a worthy wife for their much-loved son. Having found such a wife, the parents ask for the consent of the girl’s parents. If both parties agree, the wedding day is appointed.

The girl’s opinion is not taken into account. If her parents agree to marry their daughter to a favorable candidate, she has no choice but to agree to the marriage. A wedding in India is also often called «arranged marriage».
