Last Sunday, one such marriage happened in Palakkad. They followed brahmin rituals till mangalya dharanam. No homam was possible. So, no sapthapadi also. After manglyadharanam, the boy's side took over. They lit a lamp and women from both sides went as a procession in front of the couple enclosed in a decorated enclosure and placed their thambalams (like thalappoli in Kerala goddess temples), and the rest was giving gifts and taking photos. The girl's father told me that by afternoon, they are vacating the hall and there is no further ritual. Is it the way we want our girls to get married?
