India is a land of rich cultural traditions and rituals. Marriages are celebrated across the country lavishly with ultra-modern pomp and show following the rituals that have been passed on from generations. In the present context we need to examine the utility and relevance of the rituals which originated hundreds of years ago. All of us follow the traditions some of which have become obsolete but are given religious sanctity and slight deviation from them become sacrilege. Kanyadaan is one such ritual. There is a need to question it, revalidate it and the girls be saved from this sacrifice. The present study undertakes to trace its origin and relevance in the present times.
