'''Meitei marriage''' or '''Manipuri wedding customs''' (''"Luhongba"'' or ''"Yum-Paanba"'') are the traditions and practices that relate to [[wedding]] ceremonies and [[marriage]] rituals prevailing within the [[Meitei culture]].<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=hiGcAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis7-KOirDwAhV04nMBHbAjC0QQ6AEwCXoECAMQAw</ref><ref>https://www.imphaltimes.com/it-articles/item/6551-marriage-it-s-rules-and-practices-in-meitei-society</ref> The ceremonies and customs have changed greatly in the past 350 years. Original traditional Meitei weddings are supposed to be very similar to modern matrimonial practices of the [[Sanamahists]] and rural weddings (in Loi villages of [[Manipur]]). Notably, modern day [[Sanamahist]] matrimonial practices are in fact, the original true traditional Meitei wedding without the influence of foreign culture.<ref>http://e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=features.Love_vis-a-vis_Arrange_Marriage_in_Meitei_Meetei_Society_A_View.html..</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=3HCbDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA179&dq=Meitei+wedding&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1ib37i7DwAhWI8HMBHUtcBncQ6AEwBHoECAQQAw#v=onepage&q=Meitei%20wedding&f=false</ref><ref>https://www.imphaltimes.com/it-articles/item/6551-marriage-it-s-rules-and-practices-in-meitei-society</ref>
No matter what religion one follows, the Meiteis are not allowed to marry between the persons of the same salai (clan).<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=fXDiAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis7-KOirDwAhV04nMBHbAjC0QQ6AEwBHoECAUQAw</ref> Else, severe punishment or banishment from the society (colony) is the usual result in [[Meitei culture]].<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=fXDiAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis7-KOirDwAhV04nMBHbAjC0QQ6AEwBHoECAUQAw</ref>
Generally, in urban areas, [[monogamy]] is common while in rural areas, [[polygamy]] is not rare.<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=7_9LAQAAIAAJ&q=Manipuri+marriage&dq=Manipuri+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc7N63ibDwAhXlH7cAHVWUChMQ6AEwAHoECAQQAw</ref>

The marriage process usually starts with the meeting between the couple's families and the consultation on the two's horoscopes. If everything is fine, the marriage day will be fixed and finally, the partners will be wedded.<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=3HCbDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA179&dq=Meitei+wedding&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1ib37i7DwAhWI8HMBHUtcBncQ6AEwBHoECAQQAw#v=onepage&q=Meitei%20wedding&f=false</ref><ref>http://e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=features.Love_vis-a-vis_Arrange_Marriage_in_Meitei_Meetei_Society_A_View.html..</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=8s7kAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwilwKviirDwAhV9ILcAHaSQC_U4ChDoATAAegQIAxAD</ref>

Regarding the cultural diversity of the [[Meitei ethnicity]], there are the adherents of [[Sanamahism]], [[Hinduism]], [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]].<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=hiGcAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis7-KOirDwAhV04nMBHbAjC0QQ6AEwCXoECAMQAw</ref>
During early times, there were strong religious barriers between the castes inside the [[Meitei ethnicity]]. For instance, a general Meitei (either Hindu or Sanamahist) cannot marry a person who belongs to Meitei Pangal (Manipuri Muslim) or Meitei Bishnupriya (Bishnupriya Manipuri) communities.<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=7_9LAQAAIAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis7-KOirDwAhV04nMBHbAjC0QQ6AEwBXoECAYQAw</ref>

==Traditional Meitei practices==
In the traditional Meitei marriage ceremony, brides do not wear [[potloi]].<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=8s7kAAAAMAAJ&q=potloi&dq=potloi&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj4gKzaybHwAhWYgtgFHTRiBJYQ6AEwBXoECAUQAw</ref> Instead, they wear [[phanek]] (traditional Meitei [[sarong]]) and [[Kajenglei]] (traditional Meitei headdress). Besides, the sacred chantings will all be done in [[Classical Meitei]] language.<ref>http://e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=features.Love_vis-a-vis_Arrange_Marriage_in_Meitei_Meetei_Society_A_View.html..</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=fCmz4B8I62QC&q=Meitei+wedding&dq=Meitei+wedding&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1ib37i7DwAhWI8HMBHUtcBncQ6AEwA3oECAEQAw</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=8s7kAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwilwKviirDwAhV9ILcAHaSQC_U4ChDoATAAegQIAxAD</ref><ref>https://www.imphaltimes.com/it-articles/item/6551-marriage-it-s-rules-and-practices-in-meitei-society</ref>

==Hindu practices==
Since Hinduism among the [[Meitei ethnicity]] is actually brought from the [[Vaishnavism]] of [[Bengal]], the [[Meitei Hindus]] somehow imitate and follow the traditional matrimonial styles of the [[Bengali]]s.<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=ikluAAAAMAAJ&q=Manipuri+marriage&dq=Manipuri+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc7N63ibDwAhXlH7cAHVWUChMQ6AEwCHoECAgQAw</ref>
In the Meitei Hindu marriage, brides wear [[potloi]] instead of [[phanek]]. Besides, many of the sacred chantings are performed in [[Sanskrit]] in addition to [[Classical Manipuri language]].<ref>http://e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=features.Love_vis-a-vis_Arrange_Marriage_in_Meitei_Meetei_Society_A_View.html..</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=fCmz4B8I62QC&q=Meitei+wedding&dq=Meitei+wedding&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1ib37i7DwAhWI8HMBHUtcBncQ6AEwA3oECAEQAw</ref><ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=8s7kAAAAMAAJ&q=Meitei+marriage&dq=Meitei+marriage&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwilwKviirDwAhV9ILcAHaSQC_U4ChDoATAAegQIAxAD</ref>
==Christian practices==
There is no unique way to Meitei Christian marriage ceremony. In fact, the [[Meitei Christians]] perform the same general Christian marriage ceremony.
==Islamic practices==
The Meitei Pangal people (Meitei Muslim people) has a unique culture which is a fusion of the traditional Meitei practices and the general Islamic practices.
