Vivāhayogya (विवाहयोग्य) refers to “having attained a marriageable age”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The love and affection of the parents towards the six-faced lord and Gaṇeśa increased to a great extent like the moon in the bright half of the month. O celestial sage, once the loving parents Pārvatī and Śiva held a secret talk and discussion. They thought that the two sons had attained to marriageable age (vivāhayogya) and how best their marriage should be celebrated now. [...]”.
