Marriage and family - sociology?

So i just read a part in my sociology book about marriage. I'm just baffled by this... its not homework, i would just like to understand this!

It says:
....."the Nayar of Malabar never allow a bride and groom to have sex. After a 3 day celebration of the marriage, they send the groom packing - and never allow him to see the brind again. (In case your wondering the groom comes another tribe. Nayar women are allowed to have sex, but only with approved lovers - who can never be the husband. This system keeps family property intact - along matrilineal lines.)"

Ok, so then whats the point of a marriage in the first place?? It's "mind bottling"
