Solution
In this type of marriage, a tribal youth lives in the house of his sweetheart for weeks or months together. Thereafter, if both the boy and the girl like each other, they may enter into the wedlock or incase of dislike they may be separated. If marriage is not solemnized, the boy will have to pay compensation to the girls’ parents. It is called probationary marriage because the boy stays in his would-be father-in-law's house as a probationer.
