The aim of the Hindu marriage is to help the full growth and development of the husband and the wife and to promote the preservation and progress of society and its culture by enjoining upon the couple the procreation of children and their proper education. Children, especially sons, were also indispensable for offering the monthly oblations to the manes, residing in heaven.
