Hindu Dharma has prescribed four Purusharthas, that is Dharma (Righteousness), artha (Material gain), kama (Desire) and Moksha (Final Liberation). The purpose of the Vivaha Sanskar (Hindu wedding) is to ful?ll the Purushartha of ‘kama’ and then gradually advance towards ‘Moksha’.

Vivaha, which originally meant the wedding ceremony, but has to acquire the definition of marriage as a whole, is meant for procreation, and the establishment of a family (Kutumba). After one's wedding, one is believed to have entered the second stage of life, the grihastha ashrama, performing the duties of a household.

Marriage is considered to be necessary to fulfil these goals. The three goals of marriage include allowing a husband and a wife to fulfil their dharma, bearing progeny (praja), and experiencing pleasure (rati). Sexual intercourse between a husband and wife is regarded to be important in order to produce children, but is the least desirable purpose of marriage in traditional Hindu schools of thought.
