CR Manek & Family
So Motiben is younger than Baubhai but in the olden days girls were preferably married off before their older brothers. There is no specific explanation for this age-old tradition but I suspect it was more to avoid conflict and to create space for a new couple. Motiben married her best friend’s brother but it was an arranged match by the families.
