Gauna is a northern Indian custom and the ceremony associated with the consummation of marriage. It is associated with the custom of child marriage.[1] The ceremony takes place several years after marriage.[2][3] Before the ceremony, the bride stays at her natal home.[4] Marriage is considered only as a ritual union and conjugal life begins only after gauna; that is marriage is consummated only after the gauna ceremony.[5]
