📖Skanda Purana 2:30-8-9
The bow of Īśvara that was kept in the abode of Janaka, was broken. In his fifteenth year, O king, Rāma married the six-year old beautiful daughter of the king of Mithilā, Sītā who was not born of a womb. On getting Sītā, Rāghava became contented and happy.
- According to this verse, Ram married Sita when she was 6 years old, and it is believed that Sita did not emerge from a mother’s womb but rather appeared miraculously. It is important to note that the idea that Sita did not emerge from a mother’s womb but rather appeared miraculously is a belief that is part of Hindu mythology. However, it is not based on historical or scientific evidence and cannot be verified. It is important to understand that mythology and beliefs may differ from factual evidence and should not be taken as historical or scientific truth.
