Marriage is a very crucial ritual in India. It is performed with love, spirituality, family, and community. In our holy scriptures marriage is called a sacred rite and it is an endless blessing given to the bride and groom by the witness of family and society. Moreover, it is written in our religious scriptures that marriage is a penance that we need to fulfill honestly, lovingly, and responsibly. Marriage is a divine partnership. Even, our elders have lovely families because they have fulfilled this bond of marriage very heavenly till today.
In particular, google records that the 1st marriage took place on earth 4000 years ago, and to date, marriages are taking place but what do you think about present marriages? At the moment, marriage is being celebrated, as it is shown in our religious scriptures? It is safe to say that, the wedding has become a kind of event. As well as, divorce is more common nowadays than weddings. Why? Do you have this question too? Because today’s generation is gradually getting rid of the concept of marriage. Even though man is updating progressively but we cannot deny the valuable things in our religious scriptures.
Today’s youth are ruining the sacred bond of marriage by imitating western culture. Marriage is accompanied by love, affection, rites, blessings of elders, religious worships, rituals, and traditions. But, these all things are downcast for the new generation as they may find the concept of life in a relationship effortless than this. Still, they should also know that the notion of living in a relationship spoils the institution of marriage. On the other hand, the concept of marriage is considered a sacred rite in the village but what about cities?.
At this point, to inculcate decent culture in our future generations and brighten their futures, we should avoid imitating western culture at least in this concern. We must understand the ethical values of the Vedic Shastra. Similarly, we must emphasize the unethical way of live-in relationships. More to the point, The new generation must avoid premarital lovemaking and the misconception of marriage. Instead, they should give significance to the institution of marriage by establishing love, support, unity, commitments, and family by marrying according to the tradition stated in our scriptures. The elders should have revived the mentality of the current generation according to our spirituality.
Undoubtedly, love is the most fascinating and sacred aspect in the universe but after love, it is more sacred to marry based on scriptures. Eventually, a wedding performed by our family, guests, witnessing god and nature is considered the most sacred ritual in our society and scriptures. Ultimately, the generation needs to maintain its sanctity. They should prefer to consider marriage a sacred ceremony to maintain the institution of marriage. In the end, marriage is only a way for our current generation to have delightful life for their future generations. That is why they need to accept marriage honestly and give moral justice to this for our joyous and affluent life.
