Did Radha and Krishna marry?

I have no idea ..but i read it in Mahabharat forum that it's written in some purans that Brahamaji got them married...If so then why weren't they staying together ??Krishna married Rukmani , Satyabhama etc. and his 16,100 wives...but was Radha his wife??

I'm sure of one fact and that is Krishna ji had 16,108 wives..8 were his patranis..the rest 16,100 were the daughters of one king..They all were abducted by a demon called Narkasur...Krishnaji freed them all of his captivity...bec. nobody wud have married them after this, Krishnaji saved their honour and married all of them...here's the actual story..

On his return to Mathura as a young man, Krishna overthrew and killed his uncle Kamsa. He reinstated Kamsa's father, Ugrasena, as the king of the Yadavas and became a leading prince at the court.^[40] During this period, he became a friend of Arjuna and the other Pandava princes of the Kuru kingdom, who were his cousins. Later, he took his Yadava subjects to the city of Dwaraka (in modern Gujarat) and established his own kingdom there.^[41]

Krishna married Rukmini, the princess of Vidarbha, by abducting her from her wedding. According to some texts, Krishna had 16,108 wives,^[42][43] of which eight were chief - including Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati;^[44] Krishna subsequently married 16,100 maidens who were being held in captivity by demon Narakasura, to save their honor. Krishna killed the demon and released them all. According to strict social custom of the time all of the captive women were degraded, and would be unable to marry, as they had been under the control of Narakasura, however Krishna decided to marry them to reinstate their status in the society.^[45] In Vaishnava traditions, Krishna's wives are believed to be forms of the goddess Lakshmi - consort of Vishnu or special souls attained this qualification after many lifetimes of austerity, while his primary queen Satyabhama, is an expansion of Radha.^[46]

Radha was already married during the RAAS Leela even. Actually her husband was a "Kali Bhakt", and she had two sister-in-laws who used to keep an eye on her. Once they complained to her husband about Radha meeting Kanha, so when the husband came to look for Radha, Krishna took the form of "Maa Kali" and Radha's husband was mesmerised.

I also had heard a story-- that Radha's husband was actually HariBhakt in his previous life and did tapasya. When Bhagwan Vishnu wanted o give him blessing, he asked Bhagwan's wife should be his wife. Since Bhagwan is Bhaktabatsal, he granted him that and Radha became his wife. There is even a story which my aunt told me how Radha's sanctity was protected by Yamunaji, but I dont remember that well.


Can anyone pls explain--- I get a bit confused, is not Radhaji a reincarnation of Mata Laxmi? Then is Rukmini also a reincarnation of Mata Laxmi?
Pls explain

exactly! that means Radha and Rukmani both were different roops of Laxmi...Krishnaji had 8 patranis..He married Rukmani first..Satyabhama and Jamvati too were his patranis..there was no primary queen i guess..
