Love and Marriage: An Indian Perspective - By Dr Udaylal Pai

I have a friend. His sister was doing her post graduation while she fell in love with a class-mate. They claimed their love is eternal, spiritual (and they use some newly-coined heavy words to describe their love) and finally they decided to marry.

                 One day the boy backed out reasoning that his parents are not willing for the marriage. The girl’s life turned to be a hell – she became very traumatized and highly depressed. Her brother, my friend, came to me for help.

He knew that boy’s parents had some past obligation towards me. So he thought, I would be able to persuade the boy’s parents into marriage. I talked to the boy’s parents. “Sir, we didn’t know about his love affair with that girl. We would have been really happy if he gets that girl. We know hers’ is a very reputed family…” said his parents.  <!--more-->

                       This was a shock to me. Then, why did the boy put the blame on his parents? I called him to my place and had a brief talk with him. He appeared very sober and normal.
His reaction: “Yeah I loved her. I trulyloved her. She came to the hotel room and we had nice time together. But this clearly shows her attitude. She has hot pants or such tendency – so how can I marry her? We can have fun with such girls – but marriage? NO. It is a serious thing in life…”

                             “But, what about her life?” I asked him, “She also has a life, right? Why did she come to the hotel room? Because she she loved you and trusted you. Are you not ashamed to cheat her this way? You don’t have a sister, that’s why you don’t realize the pain…” I said angrily.

The boy was very cool and sober. He asked me: “Sir, you are telling absolute truth. Didn’t she cheat her parents and her social morality? And you mean to say, I am the only person who enjoyed those times? And she didn’t? We have equal  responsibility for what has happened. And now, I cannot trust her. I wish her good luck.” Then he warned me: “If you people use your power to forcefully make me marry to her, both of our life would be like hell. Do you want to destroy my life too?” ..............................Click here to read full article: http://udaypai.in/?p=66
