Second paragraph of "historic debate" section is much more favourable to this marriage as compared to corresponding source-[1] no where these things are mentioned like "Manu argued that Gandharva marriage is almost always the most suitable form of marriage. Narada, yet another ancient scholar who wrote Nāradasmṛti suggests Gandharva marriage is best for everyone including the Brahmins. Baudhayana claims that it is the best type of marriage, as it is based on love and free will." Narada even in the verse mentioned in the source, says it is inferior to first four types of marriages. I am going to change it as per the source. If someone has objection, they are free to discuss it here. Newpluto91 (talk) 14:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
