स्वयंवर

svayanvar ka hindoo samaj mean ek vishisht samajik sthan tha. is bat ke praman haian ki vaidik kal mean yah pratha samaj ke charoan varnoan mean prachalit thi aur yah vivah ka praroop tha. ramayan aur mahabharat kal mean bhi yah pratha rajany varg mean prachalit thi. par isaka roop kuchh sankuchit ho gaya tha.

• rajany kanya pati ka varan svayanvar mean karati thi, parantu yah samaj dvara manyata pradan karane ke hetu thi.
• kanya ko pati ke varan mean svatantrata prapt nahian thi.
• pita ki shartoan ke anusar poorn yogyata prapt vyakti hi chuna ja sakata tha.
• poorv madhy kal mean bhi is pratha ke prachalit rahane ke praman mile haian, jaisa ki kannauj naresh jayachandr ki putri sanyogita ke svayanvar se spasht hai.
• aryoan ke adarsh jyoan-jyoan viramat hote ge, is pratha mean kami hoti gee aur aj to svayanvar ko upahas ka vishay hi mana jata hai.
• aryoan ne striyoan ko sanpatti ka adhikar many kiya tha aur unhean poorn svatantrata di thi. isi prishthabhoomi mean svayanvar pratha ki pratisthapana huee par dhire-dhire yah sankuchit aur phir vilupt ho gee.
