According to a BJP MP Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Dharambir Singh from Haryana live in relationships is a dangerous disease and it surely needs to be eradicated from society. He further urged the government to make stringent law against it.
The BJP leader said, “I want to bring to the notice of the government and Parliament a very serious issue. Indian culture is known for its philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is one family) and brotherhood. Our social fabric is different from others in the world. The whole world is impressed by our unity in diversity.”
“Marriage is considered a sacred relationship that continues for seven generations…Divorce rate is about 1.1 per cent in India as compared with America which has a rate of about 40 per cent. It has been observed that the rate of divorce in arranged marriages is very less. However, there is a lot of increase in divorce rate recently and the main reason for it is love marriages,” Singh further added.
Talking about the consent of bride and groom’s parent MP leader said, “It is my suggestion that the consent of mother and father of the bride and groom be made mandatory in love marriages because in large parts of the country marriage does not happen in the same ‘gotra’ and due to love marriages there are a lot of conflicts in the villages. Scores of families are destroyed in these conflicts, therefore the consent of both the families is important.”
Singh said a “new disease” has emerged and this social evil is called “live-in relationship. Under this, two persons, man or woman, live together without marriage.”
“Such relationships are very common in western nations but this evil is fast spreading in our society also and the consequences are horrible. Recently, the case of Shraddha (Walkar) and Aftab (Poonawala) had come to light in which both were in a live-in relationship,” Singh continued.
Singh further said, “I request the minister that a law be made against live-in relationships so that this dangerous disease can be eradicated from society.”
