In the Hindu culture, marriage is one of the
sixteen sanskars. A few rituals are observed during the Vivah Sanskar. Taking
seven vows is the important ritual of the marriage.
The place of a married woman is to the left side of her husband. The bride does not come to the left side of the groom till he accepts the seven vows of hers (bride's). So on asking by the groom to come and sit to his left side, the bride asks for seven vows before coming to the left side of the bridegroom.
The seven vows -
The bride asks the bride groom -
1. "When you do any religious activity or go on to the pilgrimage or do the udhyapan of a vrat or donate any thing. You should always take me with you. If you agree to it, I can come to your left side."
2. "If you respect my parents, as you respect yours, do the religious acts and always have faith in God, I can come to your left side."
3. "If you properly bring up our children
as well as our pet animals, I can come to your left side".
4. "Sorrows and joys are unavoidable for a household according to his good and bad deeds, but you should always be patient and remain courageous. You should always bear in mind the income and expenditure and spend the money accordingly. If you agree to it, I can come to your left side."
5. "If you take my advice for the activities related to our family, the marriage or engagements etc, I can come to your left side."
6. "When I am with my sahelies (friends) and other women,
you should not insult me in front of them."
7. "You should treat other women just like sisters or mothers and always have affection for me in your heart and should not get angry over any trifling matters. If you agree to it, I can come to your left side."
Then the bride groom also asks for the following vow-
You should follow my advice, remain faithful to me, use sweet words while talking to me, you should serve my parents, have affections with my sisters and help me in our household activities and responsibilities.
If you agree to it, you are welcome and come to my left side.

Sat Vachan (seven vows ) at the time of Hindu Marriage ( in Roman script)
Hindu Sanskriti men vivaah solah sanskaaron men se ek sanskaar hai. Vivaah ke douraan kai rasmen hoti hain. Sabhee kaa apanaa- apanaa mahatva hotaa hai. Saat vachan bhee vivaah kee mahatwapoorna rasm hai.
Samast poojan, Madhupark, Laazaa hom, tathaa Saptpadi aadi ho jaane ke baad bhee jab tak Kanyaa var ke baayen ang (baayeen taraph) nahin baithatee hai , tab tak vaha kumaaree kahalaati hai. Isliye var kanyaa se aagraha karataa hai - " He priye, striyon kee sthiti purush ke vaam (Baayen) bhaag men maanee jatii hai. Tumhaare bhaai, maamaa, maataa- pitaa kee sahamati se mere saath tumhaaraa vivaah huaa hai. Tum utho aur mere baayin taraph aalar baitho aur yadi man men koi vichaar ho to mujhe kaho.
Tab kanyaa vaamaang aane ke liye saat vachan maangatee hai. Ye saat vachan nimnankit hain -
(1) "Aap kisi prakaar kaa punya kaarya karo, teerth yaatraa jaao, kisee vrat kaa udhyaapan karo yaa daan aadi karo to, aap mujhe saath lekar karo. Yadi aap isase sahamat ho to , main aapake baanye bhaag men aaun.
(2) Jis Prakaar aap apane maataa - pitaa kaa aadar karate ho, usee praakaar aap mere mere maataa - pitaa kaa bhee aadar karo aur apane kutumb kee maryaadaa ke anusaar dhaarmik kaarya karate huye ishwar ke bhakt bane raho , to main aapake baayen bhaag men aaun.
(3) Aapako apanee yuvaavasthaa se lekar vridhhavasthaa tak kutumb kaa paalan poshan karanaa chaahiye. Kutumb ke paalan poshan ke saath- saath pashuon kaa bhee paripaalan karo, to main aapake baayen bhaag men aaun.
(4) Grihasth ke liye sukh dukh to karmaanusaar aate hee rahate hain , kintu aap sadaa dhairya dhaaran karane waale veer tathaa praatapee banen. Aap aamadamani tathaa kharche kaa dhyaan rakh kar aur ghar kee parishiti ko dekh kar kaarya kaarya karo to , main aapake baayen bhaag men aa sakati hoon.
(5) Apane ghar ke kaaryon men, vyahaar, len den yaa sagaai- vivah ke kaarya men, aamadani aur kharch karate samay aap meree salaah len to, main aapake baayen bhaag men aa sakati hoon.
(6) Jab main meree sakhiyon ke saath yaa anya mahilaaon ke saath baithee houn tab vahan aap
meraa apamaan naheen karo to, main aapake baayen bhaag men aa sakati hoon.
(7) Yadi aap anya mahilaaon ko maataa ke samaan samajhen aur mujh par hee sadaa prem banaaye rakho
aur krodh par niyantran rakho to, main aapake baayen bhaag men aanaa sweekaar kar sakati hoon.
Tatpashchaat var bhee ek vachan maangataa hai -
He priya, tum meree salaah ke anusaar chalo, mere prati vishvaash paartra banee raho, mujhase vaartaalaap karte samay madhur vachanon kaa prayog karo, grihasthee sambandhee gatividhiyon aur jimmedaariyon men sahaayak kee bhoomikaa nibhaao tathaa saath hee saath hee susheel, madhur bhaashinee ho kar saas - sasur kee sewaa karo aur pativrat aadi dharm yukt, ishwar paraayan rahati huyee aagyaa kaa paalan karatee raho to tum mere baayen bhaag men aao , main tumhaaraa swaagat karataa hoon.
Note - Nivaah sanskaar men , Saat Phere, Saptpadi tathaa saat vachan , ye teenon alag - alag rasmen hain. Teeno men se pahale phere hote hain , phir saptpadi aur iske baad kanyaa saat vachan maangati hai.
