Who among the following Vedic deities was considered the guardian of compacts and marriages?
Aryaman
The Maruts were storm deities associated with Indra, and Agni was the god of fire and the sacrificial hearth, neither being linked specifically to social compacts or marriage.
Varuna was the guardian of the cosmic moral order (rita) and of oaths in general, but the deity specifically invoked as protector of marriage vows and social contracts was Aryaman.
Aryaman, one of the Adityas, presided over hospitality, contracts and marriage customs in Vedic society, and is invoked in wedding hymns of the Rigveda for this reason.
Hence, the answer is Aryaman.
