KERALA MARRIAGES

         Matchmaking in Kerala

Keralites follow the traditional methods of matchmaking. It is one of the main responsibility of the parents to find a suitable alliance. Even their family members also help in this. So the initial step is to inform the social circle or the internal community about the parent's intention of getting their child married. The boy/girls family members discuss about their marriage intentions and also the requirements for the prospective girl/boy. Finally a relative or any family member will approach the family with a suitable match for their child. They look into the details such as educational qualifications, interests, job, family background etc. Together with the individual compatibility of the girl and the boy they also check the family status as well as the financial capability. If the family is satisfied with these details they proceed further. In the case of Hindu families they check whether there is horoscope matching. It is one of the important factors during marriage decisions. Horoscopes are created based on the date, and time of birth and the birth star. In the horoscope matching, there are 10 matches. Some may have afflictions in their horoscopes such as the kuja dosha etc. In such cases it is very difficult and may take a longer time to find a suitable match.  If the astrological compatibility is about 7-8 matching out of 10, then the parents get ready to meet the prospective girl or boy. They fix an auspicious day and the boys family comes to the girls house to meet them. The girl dressed beautifully is presented before them. It is not compulsory that the boy has to come along with his parents. If both the family agrees then a date is fixed for the engagement. The family may put an advertisement of their children's marriage in dailies and magazines. There are new methods adopted for finding a perfect match. With the advancement in technology, there are various matrimonial sites developed for finding a perfect alliance.  The marriage seekers will post an advertisement in such matrimonial sites specifying their requirements.

History of Marriage

Most ancient societies needed a secure environment for the perpetuation of the species,a system of rules to handle the granting of property rights, and the protection of bloodlines. The institution of marriage handled these needs. For instance, ancient Hebrew law required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.

Different periods of time and different cultures have very different histories when it comes to women. Ancient Egypt in theory, gave women equal rights, but it wasn't always practiced. Medieval women faced dual responsibilities to religion and marriage.

Throughout history, and even today, families arranged marriages for couples. The people involved didn't and don't have much to say about the decision. Most couples didn't marry because they were in love but for economic liasons.

Some marriages were by proxy, some involved a dowry (bride's family giving money or presents to the groom or his family), some required a bride price (the groom or his family giving money or a present to the bride's family), few had any sort of courtship or dating, but most had traditions.

One nearly universal tradition is that of the engagement ring. This custom can be dated back to the ancient Romans. It is believed that the roundness of the ring represents eternity. Therefore, the wearing of wedding rings symbolizes a union that is to last forever. It was once thought that a vein or nerve ran directly from the "ring" finger of the left hand to the heart.

The notion of marriage as a sacrament and not just a contract can be traced St. Paul who compared the relationship of a husband and wife to that of Christ and his church (Eph. v, 23-32).
Joseph Campbell, in the Power of Myth, mentions that the Twelfth century troubadours were the first ones who thought of courtly love in the same way we do now. The whole notion of romance apparently didn't exist until medieval times, and the troubadours.

The statement of Pope Nicholas I in which he declared in 866, "If the consent be lacking in a marriage, all other celebrations, even should the union be consummated, are rendered void", shows the importance of a couple's consent to marriage. It has remained an important part of church teaching through the years.
There appeared to be many marriages taking place without witness or ceremony in the 1500's. The Council of Trent was so disturbed by this, that they decreed in 1563 that marriages should be celebrated in the presence of a priest and at least two witnesses. Marriage took on a new role of saving men and women from being sinful, and of procreation. Love wasn't a necessary ingredient for marriage during this era.
Years later, the Puritans viewed marriage as a very blessed relationship that gave marital partners an opportunity to not only love, but also to forgive.

Many people hold the view that regardless of how people enter into matrimony, marriage is a bond between two people that involves responsibility and legalities, as well as commitment and challenge. That concept of marriage hasn't changed through the ages.
