Journal Title: Kieleckie Studia Teologiczne - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
In the introduction of his article, the author presents the basic information of Hinduism concerning its doctrine, literature and history. He emphasizes that traditional Hindu marriage has a deep religious meaning for Hindu believers. It seems to be the most important event in the life of each individual and of each family. The author continues presenting the different forms of marriage of the past and he states that there is no standard ritual for marriage in Hinduism, as the rituals change according to every region. Speaking about the contemporary ceremony of a Hindu marriage, he presents the most common elements of this ritual. The author concludes that traditional Hindu marriage is regarded as a religious institution founded on the sacral organisation of the joint family. The Hindu traditional marriage is a ritual event associated with a stage in life, that repays debts to the gods and to one’s ancestors, in order to purify the individual and progressively lead to the liberation of the deity that is within each human being according to Hindu religion. Traditional Hindu marriage into a joint family is not only culturally different from the Catholic sacrament, but differs in the very hermeneutics of life, reality and revelation.
