Village also had two barbers who were important part of the society in the village. As per customs, no boy ever saw the girl or the girl saw the boy before their marriage was fixed. Only elders in the family were the decision makers and their decision was conveyed to the elders in the boy’s or girl’s family through the barber. Barbers were well taken care of by parents of girls who wanted to ensure a good groom through the barber. In most of the cases, the marriage happened before the girl reached age of ten and the boy fifteen. In some cases the marriage happened as early as two years of age for both of them. For villagers it was a means of improving family ties and indirectly controlling more land belonging to each of the family. As per the custom, marriage happened in very early ages. In most of the cases neither the bride nor the groom ever realized that they are getting married. For them it remained a play of dolls and a special day for them. Once married, they remained separate back again with their parents. The marriage worked only as a booking of the bride and the groom. Once the girl achieved puberty, it was time for her to go to her husband’s place. This happened through a ceremony which is still popular in North India as “Gouna” or second marriage. This time, the bride and the groom are allowed to live with each other to lead a happy and married life, although still very young as compared to our modern time of late twenties or early thirties.
