. Householder-life is virtuous, Anything else is not.

( )

The Home is joyful, children are well-behaved, the wife speaks pleasing words, good friends, enough wealth,
liking for ones wife, servants are dutiful, guests are honored, daily worship of Lord Shiva, wholesome food
and drink at home, ever resorting to holy company with all these the householders life is blessed indeed.

A wise man should

marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed. He should not marry one of a low-class
family, though she is a beauty. Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.

Those who are equal in wealth, and those who are equal in lineage.
Between them does friendship and marriage occur, not between opposites (strong and the weak)

First the [nobility of the] family should be examined, then the learning, then age [of the bridegroom].
Then the character and wealth of the bridegroom, followed by the region to which he belongs and then
his appearance/beauty and then should the marriage alliance be made.

[What do people look for in a prospective bridegroom while making a match?]

The girl goes for the looks of the boy, the mother is more concerned about how much wealth he has
acquired. The father wants his son-in-law to be well educated, relatives want to ensure that the boy is
from a good family while the rest of the people only look forward to the sweets served during the
wedding!]
