The Original ancient practice in India was “Swayam Var” meaning that the
girl has a right of choice to choose her husband.References to
swayamvar abound in our scriptures & religious texts. One of the
most prominent one’s being Sita’s marriage to Rama.
Over time that practice changed and slowly the practice of “parents arranging the marriage of their children” became prevalent . Even in this, the views of the bride & groom were paramount. This practice too over time has been eroded and the western viewpoint of “arranged marriage” has become common currency.
The bottom line is EVERY MARRIAGE is a social event and so HAS TO BE ARRANGED…arranged by whom is not important.
Also EVERY MARRIAGE has to have LOVE in it….whether that love happens before or after is a matter of chance.
