Answer

In Jain tradition, there is no single fixed sutak period for all communities. For a baby born in the house, many Jain families traditionally observe sutak for 10 days, while some communities follow 3 days or 11 days according to local custom.

A daughter’s wedding is usually not performed during sutak. It is generally done after the sutak period ends.

Explanation

“Sutak” is the period of ritual restriction observed after a birth or death in the family. In Jain practice, the exact number of days can vary by:

• family tradition
• sect
• community custom
• local regional practice

So the practical rule is:

• If a baby is born in the house: observe sutak as per your family/community tradition, commonly 10 days
• If a wedding is planned: perform it after sutak is over

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, such observances are meant to maintain discipline, purity, and appropriate timing for auspicious events. The main point is to avoid doing major ceremonial work during the restriction period and to follow the tradition respected by your family.

Takeaway

The most common answer is 10 days, but it can vary. For an important family function like a wedding, it is safest to follow your local Jain community’s tradition and schedule it after sutak ends.
