Marriage

Modern day marriages are better fixed after medical consultation rather than consulting the almanac [horoscope]. Couples should have children by choice rather than by chance. Otherwise, it will affect the health of the woman and be a heavy burden on the man's purse. Once marriage is fixed, counselling is important to plan the family -- for a happy and smooth married life. Both the partners either together or individually should consult their doctor before marriage or within a few days after marriage [before it is too late!]. The doctor will inform them of the various family planning methods available and counsel them--- the couple have the choice to choose. This counselling is necessary as an unplanned pregnancy can intefere with ones's education, profession and the zest for life in a newly married couple.

How soon or late a couple can have a child depends on the age, physical health, mental make-up and various others factors.
