@centerofright

more or less it happens

5:01AM Wed, May 12 2010

@sanjukta

I think woman's gotra changes, at least thats wht happens in bengalis. Am confused about this Gotra thing though..

5:02AM Wed, May 12 2010

@raggedtag

the gotra changes - in the shaadi ceremony there is a proper section where the pandit educates you about this.

5:02AM Wed, May 12 2010

@jaideepsk

Womans gotra changes. child taks fathers gotra and not half and half

5:02AM Wed, May 12 2010

@vsumanthkumar

Yes after marriage the Gotra of man will become gotra of women(wife).sogtra is illegal because the relation is bro and sis

5:03AM Wed, May 12 2010

@GrNut

post marriage, woman gotra becomes same as the mans

5:03AM Wed, May 12 2010

@sanjivee

nice point #post marriage moreover gothras were only 4 brahmins nt 4 der slaves.

5:03AM Wed, May 12 2010

@GrNut

pre marriage, gotra has to be different. no brahmin family will marry into same gotra

5:04AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

No. Again, the woman's gotra remains same as earlier. Which means Gotra of her father and mother together.

5:04AM Wed, May 12 2010

@itssotweet

very complicated!:)

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@sanjukta

for example anybody with surname Mitra have vishwamitra gotra, considered to be off springs of Rishi Vishwamitra

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@aartishenoy

what I know is, when a female is asked abt her gotra, it essentially means the gotra of her father or husband..

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@prateekgupta

As far as I know it doesn't the women ratins her Gotra and Man has his. The child bears the man's gotra

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@raggedtag

the gal takes on the groom's gotra. e.g: I went from bharadwaj to savarna.

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

My Gotras are different from my wife's. During a Pooja at home I quote it different from hers.

5:05AM Wed, May 12 2010

@aartishenoy

a woman doesnt have independent gotra, she inherits it from father and then moves to represent the one of her husband

5:06AM Wed, May 12 2010

@naman_a

That's the funny bit. Woman's adopts the same gotra, yet they claim genetic similarity in ppl of same gotra.

5:07AM Wed, May 12 2010

@soulinexile

@KanchanGupta Post marriage - wife adopts her husbands gotra... This change of gotra is part of wedding rituals.

5:07AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

No. It never happens. She gets attached to husbands gotra that is not same as giving up her own Gotra. @KanchanGupta

5:09AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

People quote Husband's Gotra usually more in a casual discussion not in a formal Gotra check. @KanchanGupta

5:10AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

And that reference to Husband's Gotra only smacks of Male Domination and nothing else. @KanchanGupta

5:11AM Wed, May 12 2010

@ravi_vatsa

Getting a bit confused. Whose Gotra does your daughter inherit? Yours or your wife's or mixed???!!!

5:11AM Wed, May 12 2010

@sreemoytalukdar

and abt gotra, the answer is no. respective gotras remain

5:12AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

Your daughter will carry two gotra's with father's gotra getting a dominant position as we are a male dominated society

5:12AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

But during a formal check the families check for gotra of the father and the mother together.

5:13AM Wed, May 12 2010

@ravi_vatsa

OK. One more query. Is marriage possible b/w ur daughter and a boy having ur wife's gotra?

5:17AM Wed, May 12 2010

@rajneekhra

defeat in cricket really embarassing but one way its good .crct sucking al indian games.noone talks chess champ & other games

5:18AM Wed, May 12 2010

@sbhagat10

Women's Gotra does not change.Children's Gotra same as Father's.Children's Marriage to partner with gotra diff to both Parents

5:20AM Wed, May 12 2010

@PalahalliS

@soulinexile @KanchanGupta Nothing to do with any male domination.In Temples & pujes at home we quote both our Gotras

5:27AM Wed, May 12 2010

@pawandurani

Me and my wife have the same Gotra

5:28AM Wed, May 12 2010

@soulinexile

Seems this is done differently in north vs south.I dont think woman uses her maiden gotra post marriage in north @KanchanGupta

5:29AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

I am a north Indian, my wife maintains a separate Gotra, my mother maintained a separate gotra @kanchangupta

5:31AM Wed, May 12 2010

@thinkerspad

Pls understand, Gotra "cannot" change. We can ignore and follow certain practice but its like "Gravity" @kanchangupta

5:32AM Wed, May 12 2010

@KiranKS

In our #South #India family, a woman always joins #husband's #gotra after marriage. #Father's before @thinkerspad @KanchanGupta

@Udyavar

Who stopped Sati, bas....ds.

5:39AM Wed, May 12 2010

@SamOneCool

Woman's gotra doesn't change aftr marriage.

6:47AM Wed, May 12 2010

@SamOneCool

In parts of North india Gotra inherited from Mother's side is prohibited more zealously than father's... to main blood purity

6:48AM Wed, May 12 2010

@keshavdixit

The woman is not defined by her gotra of birth but to the one she is married to. That's why one can marry mama's daughter/ son

7:12AM Wed, May 12 2010

@fullaranag

yes, post marriage woman's gotra changes, she takes up her husband's gotra, just as she takes up her husband's surname now.

7:42AM Wed, May 12 2010

@fullaranag

Theoritically, being the descendent of same wrishi makes them brothers and sisters.

7:46AM Wed, May 12 2010

@internet_hindus

Sir meaning of kanyadaan is to giv away girl to the gotra of husband, she s no more parents girl

7:47AM Wed, May 12 2010

@ajax625

good point.. Child cud theoretically take either gene, so it's ridiculous to let the fathers gotra prevail blindly.

9:18AM Wed, May 12 2010

@KanchanGupta

Now what's this about?

11:20AM Wed, May 12 2010

@Udyavar

I presume, Govt. shld not interfere with Gotra custom of Hindus. Muslims hv personal law, Y not Hindus?

1:36PM Wed, May 12 2010

@KanchanGupta

Hindus have personal laws, codified in acts, which is the right thing. To be enlightened is good.

1:43PM Wed, May 12 2010

@KanchanGupta

And methinks no Hindu wants pandits/khaps/whatever running his/her personal life.
