No, Gandhi's marriage to Kasturbai was arranged by their parents, and the two of them were wed when Gandhi was but thirteen years old. While he loved her immediately, and prized her as a companion, his childishness manifested itself in proud and oppressive rule over her until her tender and forgiving example made her one of his most effective teachers.
