In India, there are a variety of religious personal rules that govern marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant that binds two individuals together for their entire lives. Marriage was originally viewed as a social institution to prevent men from engaging in unlimited polygamy and to establish paternity for their children. The state has made rules to control every element of human life over the years, and marriage is no exception. Marriages in India are governed by the personal laws of the religion practised by the parties to the marriage.
