No body can deny the fact that Indian women have got the position in the home and her profession both. She is walking step by step along with men. Now the women are become the backbone of big companies. The feministic authors helped the women to get their rights, by writing various facts about the women which she can not express herself to the world. Though the gender sensitizing is done in the job sector but the position of girls is inadequate as it is before many years. All the women of middle class or lower middle caste are chosen for the beauty when marriage proposal comes. Beauty is considered as fairness and usually darkness is not considered as beauty. Every man wants to get married with fair and beautiful girl.
In arranged marriages the element of colour plays an important role except when there is love marriage and in cases of dowry system. Some of the men put the proposal that their wife will not work outside the home after the marriage so her career gets doomed. In the urban areas this problem is tolerated to some extent but the condition is worst in the rural areas of India.

I was 22 and I had completed my graduation when I got married. We were 5 sisters and I was eldest sister among them. I wanted to make my carrier in the fashion designing but I could not do so because my parents collected money, not for my career but for my wedding. I wanted to go to Poona for the course but my parents did not allow me to go there because they thought that I am a girl and I can not protect myself living all alone in the new city which they are not aware of. Eventually I got married because I was the eldest daughter of my parents and the younger sisters will also get married after me. They told me that you can do what your in-laws want but my in laws do not want to send me out of the home. This is just my compulsion to get married as I was not prepared for the marriage mentally. Sometimes I think that I should not have been born in India because here, the customs compel a girl to get married. Everybody who hears about my marriage felt very happy for me but I could not say any thing against my parents wishes because it is the custom in our society. Now I started living inside my world in my home completely cutoff out side the world. I am having a daughter and I wanted to do every thing that I can do for her. I give her the wings to fly in the sky which I could not get from my parents and my in-laws.

Haldi is the practice at the time of Hindu marriages that is compulsory. The Hindu marriage ceremony takes about 7 days to be performed.

If we will write about Indian tradition than it become the myth because every Indian custom has some meaning and the way to do the same. The word suggests that kanyadaan is giving the daughter. A daughter is just like the paddy that grows on the different place and harvest on the different place means daughter will grow in the motherhouse and after the marriage, the husband home is the home of the daughter. In this custom the father give the bride to the groom’s hand (called hastmilap) and that time the daughter is becomes others. In this system the groom is considered as the great lord (bagman) Vishnu. There will be a shower of flowers and rice. Flowers make the life full of fragrance and rice represent the akshat means that never lost The groom takes the right hand of bride and takes the oath to take the responsibility of the bride as their beloved. It is the sad moment for the parents when their right is lost on his daughter and they will not see her in his home. So after taking the vows and ashirwad the bride started her new life of her own home.

According to the stories by our grand mother and father and some after reading the articles about the Indian shadi there are the four stages or parts of any human being.e.i in which the second is grahast period. In this period the human is having the married life. First the parent selects the bride for groom and matches the kundli. This is the way that the parent matches the behavior of the two by seeing their planets. This is most old system coming from the mahabharat and Ramayana period. It is also said that ram and sita are having the kundli that matches with 32 qualities means that pair is made for each other and there would not be any difference in there behavior and the marriage life is good.
