Gwrjiya Lakhinai Haba Marriage Tradition
Highlights
Solemnization and Groom's Service
The Gwrjiya Lakhinai Haba marriage is solemnized at the bride's home, occurring only in families that lack a male child. Prior to the marriage, the groom is expected to provide service to the bride's household. This commitment extends even after the marriage, as he is required to live with and serve his wife's original family until his death.
Purpose of the Marriage
This marriage custom is specifically practiced by families who do not have a son. The primary objective of this arrangement is to ensure that the wife's family is cared for by the husband as her parents age. By taking a male as Gwrjiya, the family ensures continued support and upkeep for their household.
