Tying mangal slutra is the "culmination" of day's marriage. You may ask me is there a night marriage? Of course, yes!. The "consummation ceremony " is the pinnacle of a marriage. Let's not digress.
Over the last two decades, the brides in this part of the world shed tears at the time of tying knot. No longer the womenfolk are at the receiving end. With the legislation favouring them to the hilt. At least, in South India, section 498A (a dreaded provision) of the IPC is misused.
then,
Why does bride shed tear?
Probably, is it because she loses her individuality or MAN your independence comes to an end from this moment onwards or Henceforth, a group of people( mainly, groom's siblings, parents and groom himself) will be coming under her"rule".
