Marriage is the institution by which men and women are united in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family. (Webster's Dictionary.) When a couple gets married, they make a vow before their loved ones and their God to be together for the rest of their lives and to respect each other. In the Hindu religion, which is the third largest religion in the world, weddings are very sacred, so a wedding ceremony requires a lot of time and effort and is made up of several rituals and ceremonies. Hindu marriage, "Lagna Vivah" is the union of two human beings in a wedding ceremony performed according to their religion. It is the bond not only between the married man and woman, but also between two families who from that day on will have a very special relationship. According to Hinduism, marriage is the union of a man and a woman spiritually, mentally and physically. Hindu marriages are arranged by parents. Parents choose the most suitable partners for their children by observing the personal qualities, social status and education of the potential partner. “In Hindu society there are five different caste systems, they are the Brahmins who are priests and philosophers, the Kshatriyas who are the warriors responsible for military service and upholding the law.
