How is marriage arranged in Nepal?
All groups in Nepal follow some form of clan, lineage, or
local descent group exogamy, at least through the fifth generation.
Hypergamy is not commonly practiced except among some Rajputs
in the Terai and a few interethnic marriages where trade-offs
are made between ritual status and class. For most Tibetan-and
Tibeto-Burman-speaking groups a ritual and often substantial
payment is made by the groom to the bride's family. Cross-cousin
marriage is not practiced among many groups such as the Sherpa
and Hindu caste groups. However, the Thakuri permit and prefer
cross-cousin matrilateral marriage. Other groups such as the
Tamang and Nyinba prefer bilateral cross-cousin marriage.
In general, most marriages are made between couples of the
same generation. However, the average age of marriage partners
is increasing as education becomes more important and available.
Monogamy is the most common form of marriage in Nepal, although
a few Individuals in most groups also practice polygyny. A
number of Tibetan-speaking people, such as the Nyinba, Sherpa,
and Baragaonli, practice variant forms of fraternal polyandry.
Throughout Nepal most marriages are arranged by the Parents
of the couple, though with varying degrees of involvement
and control. Among high-caste Hindus, marriages have typically
been arranged wholly through the decisions of the couples'
families. Young men and women of Tibeto-Burman-speaking groups
in the middle hills, on the other hand, have more occasion
to interact with one another and may induce their parents
merely to arrange marriage ceremonies for them. An unusual,
and perhaps more legendary than actual, practice among Tibeto-Burman-speaking
groups is wife capture. In such a case, following the abduction
of a woman, both she and her family need to agree to a marital
arrangement or the relationship is dissolved. Eloping is mainly
practiced among more impoverished families. After marriage,
couples typically live with the husband's extended family
for a number of years. However, among the Sherpa marriage
takes place in stages, perhaps for years. Thus a husband and
wife may continue to live with their respective natal families
for years and only visit each other. Once the wife's dowry
is arranged and/or they have children, they move in together.
In groups throughout Nepal young wives look forward to visiting
their natal families during their first few years of marriage.
It is not uncommon for women to leave their husbands and return
to their natal family or for men to leave their wives and
form a union with a new wife. If bride-price has been paid
it may have to be returned in part to the husband. Women are
allowed to claim rights to their husband's property if they
have been abandoned, especially if they have children. Second
marriages are not condoned for high-caste Hindu women, and
they result in a reduction in social and ritual status if
they occur. Men also gain a bad reputation if they divorce
their wives, but they do not lose ritual status if they remarry.
For other groups Divorce involves much less stigma for women.
Among the Magar, for instance, women who leave their husbands
and remarry lose a few ritual privileges, but this is nothing
compared to what happens to high-caste women.
