March 23, 2010 "The Hindu" issue gave me a new thought to experiment and express it here. The news started with the heading Live-in relationship,pre-marital sex not an offence : Supreme Court ( to be found @ http://beta.thehindu.com/news/national/article285361.ece). True, very very true..........how does it make an offence if two adult human beings want to share their prime times in their lives in the way they wish? This ruling very successfully snapped the 'honour-activities' of so called guardians of Indian values by asking "“How does it concern you? We are not bothered. At the most it is a personal view. " Perhaps this will now pave the way for many single women to get accommodations in busy congested metro cities with their bachelor partners/ friends/colleagues. Moreover, modern Indian women have grown enough matured and responsible to take their own decisions. Economic independence does make a woman stronger to believe in herself. Honourable judges asked the crucial question .......did this "interview" encourage girls to elope with men for the first time? Certainly it didn't........ many times men go for pre marital sexual activities for gathering 'experiences'. Why women who get equal education, equal paid jobs, equal social status , should be considered as the only 'keeper of value system'?
However, I strongly believe in nurturing good morals in children so that when they reach 'I can live myself' stage , they don't try to experiment the dangerous sex-games which may pull them in physical as well as emotional hazards for their own good. Note that I have used "dangerous" sex games , which means taking this option just for fun sake which may pull up health hazards for the individual. But again, living together and experimenting sexual activities with one's un- married partner does not really make an offence as long as he / she is not committing adultery and cheating his/ her existing married partner . More so, expressing his/her views can only make the respondent highlighted for his/her boldness ......we do have right to express our minds...don't we?
