Is Hindu Marriage Moral

I think I disagree with that. I would say that marriage is a binding contract between two people to share their lives.I want to distinguish it from a rite, because I see the rituals as superficial. The form of the rituals varies from culture to culture. A couple could perform the rituals without actually being married. It is the contractual agreement, including the expectations and requirements of society with respect to that contract, that makes a marriage different from an affair.

I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing. The social sanctioning is part of how a society sustains a contract. If there were no contract, you could be married in the morning and walk away from it in the afternoon.In modern western societies, we have alternative ways of sustaining contracts, such as are provided by the law courts. However, if people entered into a formal contract, but the content of that contract were abhorrent to the society, the courts would not sustain that contract.
