In primitive times, marriages (esp. in India known as Shaadi)
were considered a pious ritual. Hindu marriages would portray Bride and
Groom as God and Goddess and would need them to sit in front of Fire
and perform all the rites with full devotion and dedication. Fire being a
symbol of piousness and incarnation of Hindu God is considered the
purest and both bride and groom need to take oath in front of fire.
They
would basically swear by the fire and take the resolution of being
together for rest of their lives, for standing by each other in bad
times any much more. Those were the times when marriages would be
decided by the parents or the parents would involve a third party or a
middleman to find a perfect match for their children. Children were the
least involved in this process.
They would come into the picture only when the marriage was fixed by
the parents and the respective bride and groom were informed that they
are hitched for their lives now. It is also said (as we have heard by
our elders) that bride and groom would usually see each other only after
the marriage had been solemnized. Marriages were mostly performed at an
early age. Traditions have seen modifications with passing generations.
Now-a-days, marrying before you reach the age of 18 is illegal in
India.
People want to be settled enough to support their future family
before they enter this nuptial affair. With the reason people tend to
marry in their late 20’s and for some the age goes up also. Also,
marriages have no longer remained restricted to parents. Children are
equal participants; in fact they are the owners of their nuptial
decisions. They usually prefer finding partners on their own and then
introducing them to their parents. Being extremely occupied with their
professional lives and finding hardly any time off, people tend to look
for their partners online. This has given birth to numerous online matrimonial/ match making sites.
