I. 11 says that there are four inducing reasons¹⁰²⁸ for marrying a particular girl viz. wealth, beauty, intelligence and family. If all four cannot be secured, wealth may be neglected (as the least important of all); then beauty may be neglected if there is intelligence and good family, but there is a difference of view as to the latter two, some preferring intelligence to family and others family to intelligence. Mānava gṛ. (I. 7. 6-7) adds a fifth inducement for marriage, viz. vidyā (learning) after beauty and before prajñā. Vide also Vārāha gṛ. 10. - [Previous: v2.c26.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.27) - [Next: v2.c26.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.29) - [Up: v2.c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26) ## Cites (3) - [Mānavagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.manava.1.7.6) — Sanskrit - [Bhāradvājagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.bharadvaja.1.11) — Sanskrit - [Vārāhagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.varaha.10) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.28) · Pramāṇa
