Relations before marriage
In ancient times, chastity was strongly emphasized with youth to be supervised carefully. As with Confucianism, the physical development of the love was not highly regarded. The parents frowned on the court and fall in love and thinking ill of his supporters.
Marriage was considered a duty, and were usually arranged in a non-emotional by elders in the family. Sometimes children only have been committed the other for the marriage later.
Previously, couples easily subject to parental choice of their peers and still do in large measure to the campaign. In cities, they began to "fight for their rights." Young people have more opportunities to meet these days, so often the role parents has been reduced to a simple advice and counsel.
Choice of marriage partners
Certain standards should be maintained in the choice of spouse under the traditional system. For example, social status, education, history, morality, etc. should be similar in background and on an equal level as possible.
horoscope of the couple must be consistent and not conflict. Horoscopes data was deliberately repeatedly misinterpreted to be able to tactfully refuse an offer of marriage. Usually, a mediator between the working families, and success is often rewarded with a gift like a pig's head.
Age at marriage
Formerly, girls were Wed often as early as 13 and boys at 16. Economic reasons, often at the instigation of young marriages. For example, a family may have wanted marry their daughter so they have less mouth to feed. On the side of the child, a woman would mean another boost in the field and the prospect of more children to work on the ground.
Daughter-in-laws were considered "free domestic help, and many girls were older than their wives, the grooms. Sometimes, marriages have taken place for young couples to alliances between families.
In Vietnam today, the marriage age varies from 18-22 for women and 22-25 for men. These figures rise to higher levels of age in cities where Western influence is felt. Child marriages are not common today Vietnam.
Ritual
Many things have changed, the rituals have remained more or less the same in traditional marriages. A description of each important rituals follows.
Presentation Gifts
This is often called "the crossing housegate the girl." It is a time where the boy's family brings gifts to the family of the girl which must include a bunch of betel leaves and areca nuts. Tea, cakes and sweets may also be included. The day and time must be quite accurate by the calendar horoscopic.
The procedure is generally rather formal with everyone dressed in their best clothes. Led by a prominent member of the eldest child family, the family heads for home the girl. The boys dressed in black with a red sash around their waist make donations on the red round trays balanced on their heads. Husband and the intermediary or liaison are also present. The matchmaker will discuss the gifts that the groom will then present to the family of the bride. The date of the formal proposal of marriage is set at this time.
The wedding gifts that the request of the family of the bride will be given to parents and friends the family of the girl. Donations are often sets of tea, candy, betel nut, betel leaves, etc. These gifts are in addition to those made home that day. If the parents of the girl have a wide circle of friends, then a large number of donations are needed.
Besides that, the family the groom must provide the bride with a bunch of jewelry such as engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and perhaps even some money.
Formal proposal of marriage
The horoscope should be consulted for the right moment and time, and still Once the entourage of family and friends descend on the bride's house in much the same way in the "gift of presenting the ceremony." At the home of the bride-to-be, they are graciously welcomed with tea, betel nut, betel leaves, and alcohol may be served. The gifts brought by the husband to be placed on the altar of ancestors. Sticks of incense and lights are lit and incense is burned. The father of the girl, the bride and groom solemnly bow before the altar. After that, the bride may withdraw in another room and her husband can support the animation of the guests, acting as a member of the family of the bride.
After long period of conversation, the head of the family of the young girl takes the gifts of the altar, Thanks to all, and divides into two parts, food donations, more smaller than the other. The game is made to the groom's family who said they were far too generous and that the family of the bride is not greedy. This also indicates good luck and a close alliance between the two families. Later, other food donations are distributed to friends of the Bride of the family.
In the past, the waiting time from that date until the actual marriage is sometimes as long two or three years. All the while, the husband had to maintain his relationship with the family of his fiancee with generous donations from many special days. Today, this waiting period has been significantly reduced. The man was not allowed to see the girl very often and they were closely monitored. Is it by chance in public, the bride-to-be would cover his face with his hat quietly. In Instead of being scared, this is the future groom proud, as shown in all his future wife was chaste. This ancient custom has considerably changed in Vietnam today. There are, however, those in rural areas who continue to maintain these practices.
The celebration of marriage
Horoscopes are particularly important for marriage and many controls are made, because nobody wants to start a marriage off the wrong foot. Usually, the day before the wedding, the boy's family has a banquet. Among the poor, it can be a tea party or anything.
On wedding day, the husband's family with the groom at a specially chosen time at the house of the bride. They walk together in a procession is normally led by an old man dressed in black carrying an incense burner. the groom's parents and older relatives to follow the old man. Next in line is the husband new clothes and surrounded by his many servants. They are followed by brothers and sisters and close friends. Women wear betel leaves and areca nuts and deliver them to the wedding party in transit.
The procession on foot is common in rural areas, especially among the poorest people. It is a status symbol in order to have other means of transportation in the parade and lots of money is often spent by those who wish to make a good impression on others. It is not uncommon in big cities to see these processions consisting of luxury cars decorated garlands of flowers.
When they reach the bride's house, they are welcomed and encouraged by the parents of the girl. The parents never come beyond the door of the house, because they do not want to appear as the opening move to offer their daughter in marriage.
After sipping tea, the head of the boy's family made a formal demand for the bride away from home where she will be a daughter-in-law family. Solemnly the father or the head of the family of the girl accepts.
Then the father of the girl or head of the family performs a rite in front of the family altar, requesting acceptance of marriage by his ancestors. The married same.
A banquet is usually held at this point, but towards the end, the groom's family acts traditionally as if they are very anxious to take the wife at home.

The genius of marriage is often called the Rose floss God and is considered responsible for the couple to marry. A special altar is set up and lighted by candles and incense sticks and incense is burned in honor of genius. A former member of the family of the groom led the ceremony. He married before and many times before the altar, and a sheet of red paper on which a plea for help and protection is written in the spirit of marriage. This file is read aloud. Three cups are filled with a clear beverage alcohol by the former white young lead ceremony.
