Hi Guys,
I'm a relatively silent member of this forum and I watch SSLK occasionally, I read the written update for today and the last part of the show caught my attention where the priest person said the time for engagement is over - what does that even mean?
I'm not religious nor do I participate in any rituals as such but Im curious to understand what does this even mean - an engagement is basically a promise that these 2 people are going to get married and are committed to one another. What is the need for a "proper" time for this? Similarly what is the logic behind a "proper" time to conduct the marriage ceremony? Here in the west you get married when you find a venue and set a date.
Do people also find a proper time to file for a marriage licence which is when you are officially in the eyes of law married?
If the argument is that it ensures conjugal harmony then I'm sorry I fail to accept that as there are countless marriages that occur after matching horoscopes, picking auspicious times etc but the marriages dissolve or the couple is not happy - likewise countless people get married with out any of that and are happily married.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
