The need and Scope

Although it is said that marriages are made in heaven and it is considered as one of the sweetest moments of our life, which may end up in contrary and not all the couples are lucky enough to have a perpetual marital bliss due to improper selection of life partner. Every couple may have some dispute at some point in time, but some couples face serious problems regarding their marriages which leads to divorce and these problems may also give rise to frustration, depression, conduct disorder and even suicidal motive among them.
Marriage is not a fun factor. It is perhaps the most complex and multidimensional human relationship and marital choice is perhaps, the most crucial decision of a lifetime. Its effects are lasting and highly significant, not only for the well being and happiness of the couple, but also for the welfare of their children, family and for society as a whole. But unfortunately, couples may not be equipped to deal with the challenges, they face in marriage. Today life is very hectic. People experience tremendous pressure in all fronts. Families are mostly nuclear in size and attitude. There is no bond created by tradition, heritage or religion, leaving most young people in an atmosphere in which they do not know what to expect from their partners during their marriage. Married couples face problems which may have developed for many reasons. Faith or mutual trust is the foundation of any marital relationship and when that faith is shaken, the foundation becomes unstable. Also phenomenal change has taken place in the status of women. Strangely enough men and women accept each other as equals at workplace, but the scenario at home is entirely different. Women are rebelling against such automatic role allocation and are less willing to accept injustice, oppression or second class treatment within a family. Thus a need is felt for proper guidance to both partners to make them understand role-sharing in married life. Marital discord arising from such role issue or any other issue is the constant for many couples and if not addressed earlier then, it may end up in divorce. The percentage of arranged marriages in India is still high and in such cases couples don’t have the opportunity to know each other at the pre-marital stage. It may cause many problems in post-marital stage.
All over the world, divorce rates are in rise. In India the percentage of divorce has increased from about 5% in 1974 to about 30%. At present the rate is increasing steadily. Invariably the cause is found to be either physical incompatibility or emotional incongruity between partners. Research has found that happily married couples have lower rates of illness, depression and conflict in and outside their marriage. Well adjusted partners make easier transitions to parenting and tend to be more supportive parents. For most people, marital satisfaction is the best index of family satisfaction; which is the best predictor of well being.
Observations have been shown that in 90% cases, the trauma of unsuccessful, unhappy marriage, separation or divorce can be avoided if the couple undergoes “Marriage Counselling” just before they tie the knot. People are realizing that it is high time they ascertain the compatibility of the couple on more practical and realistic grounds by undergoing counselling and certain medical check ups.
It is no more the stars and planetary configurations in one’s horoscope alone which make or break up a marriage. Pre-marriage counsellors and their tips also play a key role in ensuring a successful married life. It has been established that couples exposed to pre-marriage counselling, have a better chance of coping successfully in their marital life, than those who have not.

The Way of Counselling

Pre-marriage counselling is a psychological and allied counselling, given to prospective wives and husbands before marriage. It plays an important role in building healthy marriage, enabling the couple to understand better each other’s family culture, socio-economic status, personality traits, thoughts and emotions, sexual orientation & preferences etc. to overcome challenges and difficulties, that might occur in marital relationship. Pre-marriage counselling also assists one in selecting the right life partner for him/her and in determining if he/she is fully ready physically and mentally for marriage. It clears up misconception about sex, talks about issues like interpersonal relationship, intimacy and family planning.People are fast becoming aware of sexually transmitted diseases and they want to be sure about the physical well being of both partners before they get married. During counselling blood group matching and other tests may also conducted with the consent of the counsellee to diagnose physical incompatibility. Parents may at times be unaware of certain conflicts and concern regarding their child. This is where pre-marital counselling helps to bridge the gap.

PRE-WEDDING RITUALS

Ashirbaad - On an auspicious day the elders of the groom's side go to bless the bride and vice versa, by sprinkling husked rice and trefoil on their heads and giving them gold ornaments. It is a kind of acceptance of the boy and the girl on both sides.

Aai Budo Bhaat - A bachelorette party for the bride before the D-day thrown by relatives or friends. It signifies their approval as well, and also encourages community feeling.

Holud Kota - A ceremony in which five or seven married women of the household grind turmeric with mortar and pestle and anoint the bride with turmeric paste. This brightens up the bride's complexion and makes her skin glow.

















Dodhi Mongol - At dawn on the day of marriage seven married ladies adorn the bride's hands with the traditional bangles Shakha and Paula - one pair of red and one pair of white bangles, and feed her a meal of curd and rice, the only meal for the day.

MAIN WEDDING RITUALS

Bor Jatri - The members of the groom's house as well as his friends dress in their best attire and journey to the bride's house where the wedding takes place.

Bor Boron - When the bor jatri reaches the bride's place, usually the mother of the bride along with other members come out to welcome the groom and his family by showing the holy earthen lamp, sprinkling trefoil, and husked rice placed on a bamboo winnow (kula). Then they are served sweets and drinks.

Potto Bastra - After the groom is seated at the chadnatolla (wedding altar and canopy) - the sanctum sanctorum where only the groom, bride and the priest takes their place, the groom is offered new clothes by the person who is to do the sampradaan - a kind of gift to the boy from the girl's side.

Saat Paak - The bride, usually seated on a low wooden stool called pidi is lifted by her brothers and is taken round the groom in seven complete circles. The significance is they are winded up securely to each other.

Mala Badal - After the circles are completed, still sitting high on the piri, the bride and the groom exchange garlands of fragrant flowers thrice. This is the first step in which they accept each other.

Subho Dristi - After garlanding one another the bride and the groom are made to look at each other in front of all the assembled invitees. This exchange of loving glance is to initiate them to be together officially by the society.

Sampradan - The bride then takes her place at the chadnatolla where an elderly male member of the bride's family hands her over to the groom and the couple's hands are bound by the sacred thread amidst recital of Vedic chants and are placed on the mangal ghot - a brass pitcher filled with water that is covered with mango leaves attached to one twig and a green coconut placed on it.

Yagna - The bride and groom sit in front of the sacred fire and chant mantras after the priest. Agni, the fire god is made the divine witness to the marriage.

Saat Paak - Seven circular rounds are taken by the couple around the fire thereby solemnizing the occasion.

Anjali - An offering to the fire is made. The bride's brother puts puffed rice (khoi) in the hands of the bride, and the groom standing close to her holds her hands from the back and extends their arms forward. They then pour the offering into the fire together.

Sindoor Daan and Ghomta - Once again seated at their respective places in chadnatolla the groom applies sindoor or vermilion (a symbol of marriage worn by Hindu women thereafter) on the bride's hair-parting. The bride then covers her head with a new sari offered by the groom as ghomta or veil.

POST-WEDDING RITUALS

Bidaay - This is a farewell - mixed moment of joy and sorrow as the bride is bid adieu with blessings of her parents and relatives to start a new life with her beau.

Kaal Ratri - After the couple reaches the groom's house and the initial welcome ceremony is over they are separated for the night, probably to get a refreshing sleep and prepare for the next day's final wedding ceremony.

Bou Bhaat & Bodhu Boron - The girl cooks and serves all the members of her husband's family. A banquet is held to treat the guests who lavish gifts on the new bride.

Phool Shojja - The couple is adorned with flowers and are left together alone in their room to enjoy conjugal bliss on a bed laid with flowers.
