Brahmins Organized Indian Marriage System Tholkappiyar

Though marriage is considered to be sacred in Hinduism and has elaborate Rituals to solemnize and conduct marriages, I have not been able to find any definite information on who organized this system of marriage.

I could not find the origin of marriage details from the Puranas, Vedas or Ithihasas.

All these texts glorify and explain the rituals connected with Marriage.

The first written record on who organized marriage as a System is found in the ancient Tamil Grammar Book, Tholkappiyam, written by Tholkappiar, a disciple of Sage Agasthya.

* For a language to develop and to attain highly complex Grammar and Classical Literature the language should have evolved at least 1000 years earlier.

** These dates agree with the dates of Ramayana.
