Abstract

According to Hinduism, marriage between two souls is a very sacred affair that stretches beyond one lifetime and may continue upto at least seven lives. Marriages in Hinduism, therefore, is not just a mutual contract between two individuals or relationship of convenience, but a social contract and moral expediency, in which the couple live together and share their lives ,doing their respective duties , to keep the divine order and institution of family intact. The concept of divorce is alien in Hinduism, as marriage are meant to last for life time.
