Pandit Vijay Shankar Mehta: Marriage Institution Under Threat

Pt. Vijayshankar Mehta

The institution of marriage is gradually being attacked, the consequences of which may not be known yet, but families will pay the price in the future. Some governments are supporting live-in relationships by bringing them within the legal ambit. It may be a matter of law for a man and a woman to live under one roof as husband and wife without getting married, but the morality of the institution of marriage will be hurt by it.

One shocking figure is that arranged marriages decreased by 25%, the percentage of love marriages increased. And meanwhile, another figure comes out that if the period between engagement and marriage is more than six months, then 70% of the relationships either break or turn sour. Boys and girls marry each other as per their choice, this should also not be criticized.

Ram ji saw Sita ji in the garden before marriage and gave his approval. Rukmini ji had invited Krishna ji. But all these scenes have respected the institution of marriage, which is very essential for our families.
