In
India seven steps are carried out in marriage ceremony by bride and
bridegrooms. These steps mean the promise or commitment for happy and
healthy married life. In this we introduce one more step that’s the 8th oath/vow to welcome girl child in family.
This is the commitments of new pair to welcome girl child.
This concept is very much successful in society. Many mass marriage ceremonies
are conducting this concept. This concept gives many benefits. 1) No marriages
below age of 19 (F)/21(M) yrs. 2) No dowry 3) No financial burden 4) Welcome
girl child promise/ vow.
Dr Sudha started new concept
of taking 8th Vow of welcoming birth of girl child along with the
tradition of taking 7th vow in Indian marriages.
She made mantra for the 8th Vow/ Aathwa fera. In the introduction gathering of Bride -Bridegroom and parents she is spreading this thought very effectively. Up till now, almost 10500 couples took 8th vow in mass marriage ceremony. In this work Lokmangal Prthishtan Solapur contribute its major part. Health ministry of Rajastan has giving instructions for taking the 8th Vow/ Aathwa fera and Chief Minister of Hariyana has announced the grant amount for this 8th Vow.
“लेका एवढीच लेकही भारी, हाच संदेश घरोघरी
आठवा फेरा घेऊया, स्री जन्माचे स्वागत करूया ”
