One very important aspect of Magar culture which distinguish itself from typical Hindu culture. One more thing which wasn't change with History and cannot change by the Nepali high class ruler.
Yes, I am talking about magar Marriage, which so different than Hindu culture but may be similar to other ethinic groups like gurung, limbu etc.
First of all we don't perform Yagna, its not at all imporatnt for us. (I have seen this trend in few Magars who are too much influenced by Khas) No saat phere, no pandit, no havan. And Magar's married life actually starts before the actual marriage. Like, girl has been brought to groom's home if they are mutually agreed, that phase is called "Di Le Chyapeko or Pani Le Chyapeko", hence both boy and girl can stay together with the same very day. This mutual agreement can be between their relatives or just between them.
After, this only the final date of marriage or dhaubet if fixed. (So we can see there is nothing called wedding night , here). Dhaubet is again just a simple process. Though this literally means "to worship/to give respect by visiting each other" (I could not find the better word). So, its just a ceremony in which the elders from both side meet each other, bride's get aquainted with groom's relative and vice versa. Basically, its a ceremony to formally recognise the newly wed couple as husband and wife.
Its so simply done. Previously, Magars didn't even use to refer to horoscope. We can either say it as lack of their knowledge or the non-importance in their life.
Now, you can imagine how simple was Magar marriage is done. You might get more information by your grandma or grandpa. At that there was no dowry system too. There can be little difference in actual ceremony but the one I have mentioned here is the outline.
