Explanation:

Here’s the thing—when we talk about the Baigas and Gonds, marriage by elopement (Option 3) is the type most often practiced.

Let’s break down the options:

- Marriage by intrusion: This is when one partner enters the other’s house or community uninvited, and it’s not common among Baigas and Gonds.

- Marriage by service: This is where the groom works for the bride’s family to earn the right to marry her. You’ll find this in some tribal groups, but it’s not the main system for Baigas and Gonds.

- Marriage by elopement: Here, couples run away together to get married, often because of either a lack of parental approval or the wish for freedom. This is especially widespread among both Baigas and Gonds.

- Marriage by trial: In this system, potential spouses go through specific trials or challenges before marrying. It’s not the standard among the Baigas and Gonds.

What this really means is, if you picked Option 3—marriage by elopement—you’d have nailed it.
