Marriage has been a part of almost all human cultures on the planet for thousands of years. Most human beings crave companionship. It is an accepted way for showing commitment to each other. It has numerous social benefits as it is a bond for a stable family, happier children and a more stable society.
Indian marriages are a community affair that are celebrated with great pomp and show. This has made marriage a costly proposition for lower income group families who struggle to fulfil their daily needs.
Here comes the meaningful concept of Mass Marriages. Collective marriages are not just a marriage arrangement, but its effects and benefits in social interest are far-reaching. There is no other positive work than marrying a girl of a weak, needy or helpless family.
It is also laudable that now these group marriages are seeing relatively good numbers. Winning the marriage of these institutions can also lead to liberation of time, waste of time like charity, charity and dowry. But it is necessary that a large section of society should also be included in it so that no needy and vulnerable family feels left out.
Marriage is not a business. Many laws have been made to tackle dowry but it is still prevalent. Due to this, many girls from financially weaker section fall into the trap of brokers who sell them to wealthy clients or remain unmarried till late age.
It is a good step for society to organize mass marriages as it help many people save the expenditure of marriage. Money saved can be used to support the newly wed. It can be expected from new young men and women today that they can understand these things and prepare their family for mass marriage, and save their parents from this wastage of debt and fall into the debt trap
AAS Ashram along with partner organisations, under auspices of SadgurudevSatyashri have already solemnised more than 500 marriages. Be a part of this social change and spread the word. If you are unmarried, take an oath to get married in a collective marriage, if you are married, then tell others the pros of this effort.
Join hands… be a change…
