PranAmAs to all my friends throughout the world.
Regd. marriage, whatever i have heard there is no concept called mAngalyam. 
Thats why we dont have any sruti vAkyam for that. It might have come during the 
muslim invasion or the English invasion. 
For us it is just the sapthapati, that is being considered as registration. If 
the husband dies before sapthapati, then the girl can re-marry according to our 
vedam.
My question, now-a-days people love each other (It usually happens in family 
staying in foreign countries and those who work in IT field ). suddenly they 
say they have married( Guy has tied the mAngalyam to that girl). Whether it can 
be considered as a marriage or not?
Only during pAnigrahanam the guy can touch the girl hand. Now-a-days it has 
bcom quite common.
(and to the worse I heard a guy marrying a girl of same gothram. She is 
considered to be his sister bcoz of same gothram.).
Whether these r acceptable??

Pranamas to all my friends all over the world.



I would like to know certain things. 



How marriage was arranged in those days for
brahmins?



In case of Kshatriyas, it is something different bcoz
polygamy was allowed for them.

They have various types of marriage.



(If am not wrong they have seven types of marriage
like love marriage, ghandarva etc.)



EX: Dushyantha's marriage with Sakuntala.



But that is not the case of Brahmins. 

For us it is only the sapthapati, that is being
considered as marriage registration.



My question is 

1. Do they follow any things like matching Gothram,
horoscope etc whatever we follow now-a-days??



Is there any instance in Sanskrit literatute or in
vedic text that quotes these things.
