Hindu Wedding Rituals Vratham Kankana Nandi Kasi Yatra Detail

In an ideal Nandi Srardha, 12 Brahmins are invited, Dhotis and Angavastras are ditributed, their feet washed amidst the chsning of the Srardha Mantras.

Kasi Yatra.

In Hinduism a Man has Four Stations in Life,

Brahmacharya, the Ceibate,

The Grihastha, The Married,

The Vanaprastha, the detachment state, and

The Sanyasin, The Renounced State.

Boys aged 5 are anointed with Upanayana(read my post on this ceremony) and sent to a Guru for the Adhyayana or the repeated learning of the Vedas.

When they reach the age of 13 they are married.

Now the marriageable age has changed.

When the boy comes of age for Marriage,after the Vratham, Kankana Dharanam and Nandi, the Boy goes to Kasi(Benares, Varanasi ,the Holy City of The Hindus, to meditate on the Brahman, The Reality.(Symbolically)

The bride's father intervenes and requests the Bridegroom not to undertake the trip,become a Grihastha as Grihathaasrama is the fundamental Stage of Dharma or the Path of Righteousness, and offers his daughter in Marriage , promising that she will be his soul mate in performing the Vediac rituals that would guarantee spiritual enlightenment.

Men Women For Sex When Alone

This is an observation by a Lower Court in India and The Higher Court has taken objection to it!

I am surprised.

Is quoting a fact of Life condemnable?

I would have understood this stricture coming from a Feminist Group,come to think of it, from a Woman, as if a woman does a favor to Men by indulging in sex and that women are least interested in Sex.
