Love marriages in our country are not a new trend of the modern times or shadow of western cultures on ours. Love marriages exist since ancient times. Our scriptural treatises such as the Manusmriti (compilation of over 2000 Shalokas by the sages Manu and Bhrigu) describe an alliance between a male and a female based on mutual attraction as Gandharv Vivah or a Love Marriage.
“Ichchaya anyoanas yogey kanaya ashachaivarashai chai,
Gandharv vasayetu viksheyo maithunai kaamsam bhavaye”
