    Wat are vows of married couole

    5 months ago 57

    In Jain Dharma, a married couple is expected to live with dharma, restraint, and mutual support. The main vows for a householder (gṛhastha) are the five aṇuvratas:

    1. Ahimsa Aṇuvrata – limited non-violence
    2. Satya Aṇuvrata – truthfulness
    3. Achaurya Aṇuvrata – not stealing
    4. Brahmacharya Aṇuvrata – marital fidelity and purity
    5. Aparigraha Aṇuvrata – limiting possessions and greed

    For a married couple, these vows mean:

    • being faithful to one another,
    • speaking truthfully,
    • avoiding harm in thought, word, and deed,
    • not taking what is not given,
    • living with simple needs and less attachment.

    A Jain married life is also guided by:

    • respect for each other,
    • self-control,
    • compassion toward all जीव (living beings),
    • and supporting spiritual progress together.

    If you want, I can also give the daily Jain household vows or the specific vows taken by husband and wife in Jain tradition.
