In India, marriage is more than a contract. It is the joining of earthly and divine goods.
Marriage forges a new path for the next generation as well as riches, social standing, gratification, and refuge. It is also a wonderful melding of ideas, emotions, as well as hurdles and their corresponding resolutions.
Put simply, Indian marriages are not just a two-person affair. It is the coming together of family and community with love at the forefront.
