CHAPTER
V
ON
CERTAIN FORMS OF MARRIAGE1
WHEN a girl cannot meet her lover frequently in private, she
should send the daughter of her nurse to him, it being understood
that she has confidence in her, and had previously gained her
over to her interests. On seeing the man, the daughter of the
nurse should, in the course of conversation, describe to him
the noble birth, the good disposition, the beauty, talent, skill,
knowledge of human nature and affection of the girl in such
a way as not to let him suppose that she had been sent by the
girl, and should thus create affection for the girl in the heart
of the man. To the girl also she should speak about the excellent
qualities of the man, especially of those qualities which she
knows are pleasing to the girl. She should, moreover, speak
with disparagement of the other lovers of the girl, and talk
about the avarice and indiscretion of their parents, and the
fickleness of their relations. She should also quote samples
of many girls of ancient times, such as Sakoontala and others,
who, having united themselves with lovers of their own caste
and their own choice, were ever happy afterwards in their society.
And she should also tell of other girls who married into great
families, and being troubled by rival wives, became wretched
and miserable, and were finally abandoned. She should further
speak of the good fortune, the continual happiness, the chastity,
obedience, and affection of the man, and if the girl gets amorous
about him, she should endeavour to allay her shame2
and her fear as well as her suspicions about any disaster that
might result from her marriage. In a word, she should act the
whole part of a female messenger by telling the girl all about
the man's affection for her, the places he frequented, and the
endeavours he made to meet her, and by frequently repeating,
`It will be all right if the man will take you away forcibly
and unexpectedly.'
The
Forms of Marriage
When the girl is gained over, and acts openly with the man as
his wife, he should cause fire to be brought from the house
of a Brahman, and having spread the Kusha grass upon the ground,
and offered an oblation to the fire, he should marry her according
to the precepts of the religious law. After this he should inform
his parents of the fact, because it is the opinion of ancient
authors that a marriage solemnly contracted in the presence
of fire cannot afterwards be set aside.
After the consummation of the marriage, the relations of the
man should gradually be made acquainted with the affair, and
the relations of the girl should also be apprised of it in
such a way that they may consent to the marriage, and overlook
the manner in which it was brought about, and when this is
done they should afterwards be reconciled by affectionate
presents and favourable conduct. In this manner the man should
marry the girl according to the Gandharva form of marriage.
