Sindhoor and maang--so is that it?

All right, this may very well be the most absurd question you will get in a while.


I've now seen in this and other shows how a couple is considered married when the guy fills a woman's maang with sindhoor. Now what Swati did was a bit different. The thought was touching, but slightly corny. But who am I to say?


Now, is that all it takes to consider oneself married? I thought there were more religious aspects and rituals. So am I wrong when I say just filling the maang does not qualify as married???


My mistake on the earlier spelling--wasn't even thinking of the correct spelling, b/c it's rarely used as a word here.

hi btw it's called maang (moong is what we eat)

it's called maang not moong .

Yes! In the ancient days they use to practice that ...if a guy fills in a maang of a girl with sindoor she is his legal wife..
