Correct Answer: Gandharva Vivah
Solution : The correct answer is Gandharva Vivah.
Gandharva Vivah was a swayamvara type of love marriage. The eight marriage forms are classified as either authorised or disapproved. The authorised forms of marriage are Brahma, Daiva, Arsha and Prajapatya. At these weddings, gifts are exchanged, including a maiden's gift (kanyadana). Brahmins are required to receive gifts, as per the Dharma teachings. For this reason, Brahmins usually consider the first four types of marriage to be legal.
