விவாஹசுப முஹுர்த்தபத்திரிகை

எனது நண்பர் ஒருவர் பெண்வீட்டுகாரர்கள் தங்கள் பெண் கல்யாணபத்திரிகையை ஏன் 'கன்யாதான சுப முஹுர்த்தபத்திரிகை' என்று அச்சடிக்ககூடாது என்று கேட்கிறார். அதே போல் வரண்வீட்டாரும் 'பாணிக்ரஹண சுப முஹுர்த்தபத்திரிகை' என்று அச்சடிக்கலாம் அல்லவா? இதை பற்றி கற்றுணற்ந்த பெரியோர்கள் தங்கள் மேலான கருத்துக்களை தெரிவிக்கலாமே!!!:wave:

Shri Narasimhan,

Actually, pANigrahaNam is the most important function in our tabra marriage, although, due to efflux of time this has all but lost its relevance today. Kanyaadaanam is only an indicatory rite wherein the father of the girl gives her as "daanam" to the son-in-law to be and, certain legal and social customs prevailed according to our ancient practices, about things given as grants or "daanams"; the most important of these, imo, is that the grantor of the gift or his/her successors will have absolutely no right over the gift in future and the gift becomes the absolute "property" of the donee or receiver. You will agree that all such things have lost their relevance today as per our new laws. Hence "kanyaadaana Subhamuhoorthappattirikai" will be a falsehood in today's circumstances and may be feminist groups will take umbrage of the very word "kanyaadaanam"!

Vivaaha was the name of the whole compact of rites and functions which, in ancient times, comprised a modern marriage. vivaaha means विशॆषॆण वाहयति इति (viśeṣeṇa vāhayati iti = one that is carried away in an unusual manner or special way). It seems this name came from most ancient times when girls, like cattle, were carried away after raids. Whether people, especially girls and/or their parents, understand this is doubtful. If they do and still agree on "vivaaha subhamuhoorthappattirikai", there may be no objection.

Still the best is paaNigrahaNam but today's girls would have shaken hands with many people and so that also becomes meaningless!!
Best thing is to 'daampathya subhaarambhappattirikai'!! dampati means a husband who has tamed or subdued (what else? his wife!); the root "dam" or dama means to be tamed or subdued ; to be tranquillized ; to tame, subdue, conquer, subject, control, restrain ; to quiet. Is this alright?
 
Shri Sangom Ji,
