Some more details about Indian Marriages.
One place where the caste system is still well entrenched is the choosing of marriage partners. Long ago there were several types of marriages in India, like it was different for the Maharajas, Business people and also for Hindus and other castes. It was very tough and costly in ancient India and today is also the same. There are few mythological stories which tell us a lot of marriages of the God and Goddess, it has a different theme and style but now we only need to read a few of the ‘matrimonial’ advertisements which appear in many places, including the national Newspapers, to realize that marriages across the ‘Caste bar’ even among wealthy,  well-educated or higher caste people, is basically not on. 

The majority of marriages are still arranged by the parents, although ‘Love marriages’ are becoming more common, particularly in the big cities. When a couple are choosing a partner for their Son or Daughter,  a number of factors are taken into consideration: caste of course is pre-eminent, but other considerations are beauty and physical flaws – the matrimonial ads can seem brutally frank in this regard and a horoscope for the would-be partner is often called for. Many potential matches are rejected simply because the astrological signs are not propitious. The financial status of prospective partner’s family is also taken into account. 

Another facet of marriage is the pernicious dowry. A dowry was originally a gift to the bride from her parents, so she would have something of her own and would in turn be able to provide a dowry to her own daughters. These days, however, the dowry is a matter of status for the bride’s family – the bigger the dowry and grander the ceremony, the greater the prestige to the family. Although the practice is officially outlawed, a dowry is still expected in the majority of cases. 

For poorer families the marriage can become a huge financial burden. The amount of an expected dowry varies, but it is never small. The main determining factor is the level of education and social standing of the young man: a dowry of at least US $20,000 would be expected from the family of a young woman hoping to marry a graduate of a foreign university, a Doctor or other highly paid professional. A ‘Green Card’ (American residence card) is also highly desirable, and the holder of one can command a high price. Virginity is also of vital importance, and it is often listed among the woman’s attributes in the matrimonial columns.
