Was Mahaveer married?
Yes, but it depends on the tradition:
- Svetāmbarā (Śvetāmbara) tradition: Mahavira was married to Yaśodā (Yashoda) and they had a daughter named Priyadarśanā (also called Anojja in some texts).
- Digambarā tradition: Mahavira did not marry and left home to become an ascetic.
These are the two mainstream views in Jain sources. You can read more about Mahavira’s family and the marriage question in Jain discussions here and in related Mahavira narratives here .
