Karna's family life is hardly mentioned in the ''Mahabharata''. In the ''[[Udyoga Parva]]'', it is mentioned that he is married to a [[Karna's wife|woman]] chosen by Adhiratha. In the ''[[Stri Parva]]'', Karna's wife is mentioned as the mother of Vrishasena and Sushena.{{sfn|McGrath|2004|p=114}} In many recent adaptations of the ''Mahabharata'', Karna is depicted married to two women—Vrushali and Supriya. Contradictory to this, the Tamil play Karna Moksham portray Ponnuruvi as his wife, while the regional Kashidasi Mahabharata states her to be Padmavati. He also married [[Varsha (Mahabharata)|Varsha]], the daughter of Rajayasena. She married [[Karna]] peacefully and so after the marriage, they had a daughter named [[Ratnamala]]. | Karna's family life is hardly mentioned in the ''Mahabharata''.
