In your definition of marriage, is there room for women's pov. Does it include divorce? Obviously you are talking of Manu marriage. The present reality is very different. Not too far from live-in arrangement.

Dear Prasad,

The present reality is sad and will logically lead to live in arrangement. That only says how decadent the society has become. Even if a panacea is developed it is of no use unless one makes use of it.

The moment somebody evades a question (and that too by a wrong inference) is that time one knows that there is no purpose in that discussion.

My responses were not evading anything, they are technically accurate.

Without having some rudimentary understanding of purpose of human existence or at the very least shraddha towards institutions of marriage, family etc as part of living the Ashrama dharma, it is not possible to have any discussion.

Live-ins are nothing but Gandharva marriage like Sri Prasad pointed out. It is not about the nature of marriage or about norms/morality/laws of a society. It is all about clarity of why one gets married and have children. Lack of clarity seem to be the order of the day largely imported from the west on such matters. The bottomline is that there is a serious price to pay with lack of purpose or lack of clarity.

The advantage in conventional marriage is that at least it has the support of close relatives and friends, which will be useful in case of misunderstanding between the couple. How far live in relationship will have the tacit approval of relatives and friends is a question mark. In such an event, when there is a problem, the couple may find it difficult to get proper solution, which ultimately leads to separation. Such separations may at times lead to legal complications and police cases. This, in turn, will cause additional burden on the society, especially the Govt. and Judiciary.

Conventional and arranged marriages are still good with modifications like seeking approval from both brides and bridegrooms and thru open discussions.

So it is just a matter of support of close relatives and friends that marriage wins over? Twenty odd years from now, it may be that the present younger lot become parents, and should they welcome their children's decision to live-in, I suppose you would say live-in is advantageous. It is all in the mind. Why should a family not support their kids if they choose to live-in?

To avoid legal complications, it is the norm now to have agreements specifying financial and other obligations of the partners. There... not so bad !

By saying that a live-in is terrible, tough and anti-society, and by being unsupportive, rude, negligent etc., it is we who ruin the relationship. So that we could say we knew it from the beginning that it wouldnt work.

What a farce.
