Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In ancient India, legal/righteous forms of marriage (Prashasta) included Brahma, Daiva, Arsha, and Prajapatya. Non-approved/illegal forms (Aprashasta) included Asura, Gandharva, Rakshasa, and Paishacha. Hence, Gandharva Vivah (love marriage based on mutual consent without rituals) was generally not considered canonical or legally ideal compared to the approved ritualistic forms.
