Chastity is the state in which the love life of Tamils is centred and manifested. Chastity is to fully attain the state of mind of genuine love (Kalaviyal). Chastity is conducting the wedding ceremony (Karanam) with the knowledge of the whole world. Marriages are completed by tying the Mangal Sutra. Even after the lover's misconduct, in the state of women being still considered unworthy, a procedure called ‘Karanam’ is conducted publicly. Chastity sets in to illustrate the way the Man and Women conduct their lives and morality that is well established. Tolkappiyam completely embodies the lifestyles of the people and the personal ideas expressed in the Sangam literature in alliance with the cultural traditions of the people. Tolkaapiyar describes chastity in the form of the ritual itself. It is also called chastity when the parents give away their daughter to the groom; the parents of the groom receive her by a ritual confirmation ceremony. The woman remaining chaste when the man is away from home is said to be happening in the forest (Mullai Nilam). In the life of a lover, a ritual that is being chaste as ‘One man; one woman and one woman; one man’ and living together after marrying publicly is accepted universally.
