Marriages in India and China share some similarities but also have key differences. In India, divorce rates are extremely low at 1.1% compared to 50% in the US, and weddings represent the union of two families in a traditional ceremony that takes place outdoors. In China, marriage traditionally involved six rituals including matching birthdays and gift giving selected by families, though now women can choose partners. Indian wedding attire includes saris for brides and long shirts for grooms, while Chinese weddings feature cheongsam dresses with phoenix prints for brides and black silk coats for grooms.

In ancient Mesopotamia, marriages were arranged by parents with girls often married at 14 years old. Weddings were simple ceremonies without many guests. Brides wore long dresses with jewelry and tattoos while grooms wore long, plain gowns. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs chose their own spouses and some married siblings. Common weddings lacked ceremonies while royal weddings were grand public events. Egyptian wedding dresses featured colorful robes and crowns. In ancient Rome, parents typically chose spouses and divorce was uncommon. Simple ceremonies sometimes included music and vows.

Marriage Practices used in Two Different Cultures

MARRIAGE PRACTICES 2
Marriage Practices used in Two Different Cultures
Marriage practices have been around for decades. The way each culture celebrates their
new found love is different in every culture. The two cultures I am going to focus on are Oraibi
and Hindu. The way each of these cultures share their new life is not only beautiful but it is very
different. In this essay I will discuss how the two cultures celebrate and prepare to wed.
The Oraibi tribe resides in the villages of Tusayan which is located in Arizona. The
Hindu tribe resides in places like India and Nepal. Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the
world. The marriage ceremony of the Oraibi tribe is both complicated and long-lasting. The
marriage ceremony of the Hindu tribe is long and spiritual.
The Oraibi tribe also goes by the name of Hopi Indians of Arizona. Among the Hopi
Indians marriage by purchase does not exist. (H.R. Voth, 1990) They believe that you should be
able to marry whoever you want. They actually keep their relationship from the public until they
are ready to marry. Then the man asks the father for her hand in marriage. In some cases the
mother and the father may have some input in the two being married but it is less likely to
happen. When two people marry because they want to it is believed that the marriage will last
longer.
The Hindu culture uses a different approach to marriage. In a Bengali Hindu marriage
negotiations for marriage begin either directly or indirectly. They start of by making matches
between the boy and the girl depending on how powerful their families are. In all these cases out
of pocket fees are to be paid; and, in the event of a successful negotiation, a certain fee must be
paid. (D.N. Mitra, 1946). The next step is a party where the girls and the boy’s relatives go to
each other’s parties to select two or more boys or girls to wed.
MARRIAGE PRACTICES 3
The final selection of both parties will depend on what the men of the family have to say.
In the Oraibi tribe they even have a ritual for the big wedding day. They start by making
sure the wedding is set for autumn or winter because during summer and spring they are usually
working in the fields. As soon as the mother or aunt knows about a woman in their family getting
married they start by doing her hair in a hitherto which is worn between two coils and ties a knot
in the loosened hair of each side. Then either later in the day or early morning the bride to be and
her mother take a meal made from white corn to the future husband.
When the bride gets to the future husbands house she immediately starts working on
making white corn meal and the mother returns home. The men go about their usual day of work.

Marriage in india
Marriage customs vary significantly across India's religious groups. For Hindus, which make up 83% of the population, marriage is considered a religious duty and parents arrange marriages between individuals of the same caste. Brides traditionally wear ornate saris and jewelry and weddings last 3 or more days. Dowries, where the bride's family provides property or wealth, were historically common but are now illegal. For India's Muslim and Sikh minorities, criteria like caste, chastity and maintaining family lineage are important in selecting spouses. Wedding customs incorporate religious rituals and community celebrations.

Arrange marriage
The document is a research report on arranged marriages in Bikaner, India. It provides an introduction to arranged marriages in India and how they have evolved over time. It then outlines the objectives, methodology, findings and conclusion of the research study.
The research was conducted through surveys to understand people's perceptions and preferences regarding arranged marriages. The key findings were that while most respondents still prefer arranged marriages, they rate love marriages more favorably. Respondents were also uncertain if arranged marriages are disappearing. Parents and relatives were seen as playing the main role in arranging marriages. Parental choice and satisfaction were viewed as the main motivations behind arranged marriages.
In conclusion, the report states that both arranged and love marriages have
History of arranged marriage in india
Arranged marriage has a long history in India and has undergone significant changes over time. Originally, girls were married very young, before puberty, and had no choice or say in their partner. Now, arranged marriages involve more input from both individuals, who must consent, and love marriages have become more popular as social reforms have increased women's independence. While still important culturally, arranged marriages now occur later in life and with consideration of the bride and groom's compatibility and preferences.
Indian Ways for Dating, Marriage and Family
1) In India, marriage is traditionally arranged by parents and viewed as a union between families rather than just two individuals. Factors like religion, caste, and astrological compatibility are heavily considered in arranging marriages.
2) While arranged, Indian couples are still able to choose whether to accept the arrangement after an engagement period where they can meet and get to know each other. This engagement period functions similarly to dating.
3) The traditions and roles around marriage in India are gradually changing, though arranged marriages remain common and cultural norms still emphasize family, commitment, and respect between genders within marriage.
Hindu weddings
Hindu and Muslim interfaith marriages are extremely difficult to organize due to strong religious traditions and family pressures in both faiths. Hindus believe in concepts like karma and reincarnation, while conversion from Islam is forbidden and considered a sin. If a Hindu-Muslim couple wants to marry, the non-Muslim partner usually has to convert, but combining traditions is complicated without full family support. An interfaith wedding ceremony blending both religions is virtually impossible.

The document discusses Chinese culture as a high context culture. It explains that in high context cultures, much of the meaning in communication comes from contextual cues and background understanding rather than being explicitly stated. China is described as a prime example of a high context culture, where indirect communication and understanding cultural norms is important. Traditional Chinese weddings are used to illustrate this, outlining preparations, ceremonies, and traditions that emphasize maintaining social harmony over directness.
