One gender had to leave the house. The sons used to till the land along with the father, so they decided it was the daughters that should go to the other family. It was called a 'daan', but was not really a daan. But still the sin was great as the parents practically threw one (or more) of their children out to others. That's why - the GANGA SNAN - to do the penance. That's why the groom's family was worshipped by the bride's family - as they were the ones accepting her in their family. The daughter was given her full financial share and the all the functions and all the gifts to her from time to time were just to tell her - you (and your family)are still a part of the family. In case of any problems (like widowhood), the girl were supposed to come back to the family.<BR/><BR/>So basically, it was just a social organization of life - for convenience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
