Hello,
I would like to know if it is still a practice that the boy cannot marry for one year after the death of his mother. Can you tell me also if this is widely practiced among Iyangar Brahmins. thank you.
I find from experience that if the boy is the one who does the pitrukarmam (eldest son) marriage is done within one year so that he is married by the time of the anniversary rites (aattasraaddham, we say).
