Institution of Marriage
Advertisements
Solution
The ‘Tolkappiyam’, written by Tolkappiyar, states that marriage was an important religious ceremony, accompanied by many rituals. Naturally, the Aryan culture had now much impact on the institution of marriage. Earlier the Tamils had a relatively simple concept of marriage. They regarded it as “the natural coming together of men and women, mainly due to their physical difference.”
