Child marriage being then customary, five-year-old Kothai was married to a nine-year-old, Parthasarathy. Her husband's family used the prefix of Vai. Mu. with their name, and Kothai assumed this practice, Vai referred to the family deity of Vaithamaanidhi, while Mu referred to Mudumbai, which was the name of their ancestral village. Kothai had no formal schooling and she could not read or write at the time of her marriage. Parthasarathy was insistent that Kothai should be educated. She also learnt Telugu language from her mother-in-law.
