At the moment of being handed over, the girl is standing sumptuously dressed, as are those who have come to fetch her, and is chatting with her longtime friends who have gathered together. For the marriage rite, she must strive to be amiable toward the people assembled and, in the same 'way, during the rejoicings, show that she is satisfied with her marriage. The girl should not appear apathetic on being handed over and must be attentive at the moment of marriage. She is surrounded by people of her own family. The previous day, she will have taken part in organizing the ceremonies, amusing herself with her friends over traveling in a palanquin, and so on, and during the marriage rite, etc., surrounded by her friends, she pretends to look at the others with astonishment.
