Classical Hindu law distinguishes the childhood, youth, and adulthood of male children in terms of ritual and legal eligibility and duty. Childhood is marked both by freedom from the constraints and obligations of ritual and law and by ritual ineligibility and legal incapacity. The consecratory rite of the sacred thread marks a son’s eligibility and obligation for religious study and ritual. Youth is the period of religious training that culminates in the completion of studies and in marriage. Legal majority is recognized for sons at age sixteen, while full ritual rights and duties commence only with marriage. In the classical texts, the onset of menstruation marks a daughter’s eligibility to marry, though her legal capacity remains restricted in principle. Daughters thus figure prominently in the intricate negotiations of marriage, kinship, and family reputation.

Successful marriage is a dynamic growing relationship in which the personalities of both partner continue to develop to achieve personal satisfaction. The earlier the adjustments are made, the more likely is the marriage to be happy and the fewer the areas in which the couples fails to adjust, the better are the chances for happiness in the marriage. The findings of the study revealed that factors that emerged to be important for enhancing marital satisfaction were respect for emotion, attitude towards marriage, expression of love, regard for views and importance to the likings of the spouse, ignoring weaknesses of the spouse, sexual adjustment, temperament, value, taste and interest. The lower ranks of management of time, management of income, technological factors and job related factors reflect that these are not considered serious because couples are already enjoying labour saving and luxury items and frequently go for outings. With respect to conflict resolution avoidance was given higher rank in comparison to arbitration.Int. J. Soc. Sci. Manage. Vol-3, issue-1: 60-64
