Types of Hindu Marriages
The holy scripture of Hindus, Manusmriti classifies weddings in Hindu religions into 8 types. Out of these 8 types of marriages, there are only few that command social approval. The other forms of marriages are forbidden. The marriage types like Brahma Marriage, Arsha marriage, Daiva Marriag and Prajapatya Marriage are considered to be good while other types like Asura Marriage, Gandharva Marriage, Paishcha Marriage and Rakshacha Marriages are avoidable.
