67. ) HINDU laws and regulations on the marriage question take it for granted that all men and women must marry. It is only those who may be suffering from disqualifications of mind or body that do not marry. There are no old bachelors or old maids amongst the Hindus. The regulations and directions are all con- fined to the matter of how to choose, and how and when the marriage is to be performed. It appears quite clear that in Vedic time there was some liberty of choice amongst both men and wo...men, as to their partners ; for it is thus written : " Three years let a damsel wait, though she be marriageable ; but, after that term, let her choose for herself a bridegroom of equal rank. If, not being given in marriage, she choose her bridegroom, neither she nor the youth chosen commit any offence. But a damsel, thus electing her husband, shall not carry with her the ornaments which she received from her father, nor those given by her mother or brethren: if she carry them away, sh commits theft.
