Jain Matrimony: Navigating Tradition and Modernity in Marriage

Jain matrimony is a perfect mix of customs followed in Indian culture and the current trend and idealisms of the Jaina community, beliefs in spirituality and the changing trends in marriage. Some of the prominent ceremonial practices of Jain weddings are non-violence, simplicity and rejection of possession. Such ceremonies are not only concerning the two people building a relationship but also two families who value these principles as well. However, like other cultural practices of marriage, the Jain matrimony is also slowly and gradually coming into modernity, where tradition and modern aspects of life are being given due consideration.
