What is the fundamental aim in a Hindu Marriage?

Since they are arranged marriage (Talking about traditionally)
IE, in Christianity, their aim is to have children and teach them about God

Also to have children and teach them about God.

i agree with the first reply

as with any other its to bring two people together it has nothing to do with children
and don't teach your children about God that is such BS why not teach them about things that are real like mermaids and dragons or leprechauns and cyclops or how about aliens and fairies
I hope you don't believe marry was a virgin

I can agree with the children part but I see the God part as optional.

Love and blessings don

when a Hindu marriage takes place, its not only the union of 2 individuals but also of 2 families..the brides family is giving their daughter to the groom's family.when a Hindu marriage takes place, it implies not only a relationship with husband but a whole bunch of relationships with other family members and the responsibilities which come with it which the wife has to perform.
She has to be someones daughter-in-law, someones sister in law, someones aunt etc. And the bride has to maintain these relationships.Keep the family together.
And with marriage comes the task of bringing the heir to continue the family tree.That is giving birth to a child.

So we can summarize that Hindu marriage has two aim-
1- keeping up the importance of family in society.
2.continuing the family by giving birth to children


A big joint family has too much importance in 'TRADITIONAL' Hindu culture.
