Prajapatya Wedding is one of the eight methods to conduct a marriage acknowledged in dharma literature, or religious responsibility treatises.
Prajapati was the name of the creator in Hindu mythology,
and this term implies that the aim of this marriage was for individuals to
fulfill their forefathers' duty by procreating.
When a parent offers his daughter to a man on the condition
that they perform their civic and religious obligations together, this is known
as a Prajapatya marriage.
Because it was arranged by the girl's father, this was one
of the four authorized (prashasta) kinds of marriage.
However, since the girl was offered in marriage with
restrictions, it was seen less praiseworthy than the other acceptable kinds.
The finest method to offer a daughter in Indian culture is
to put no restrictions on it.
