Not usually I try to touch up on topics that are
controversial in nature but here I go with one that easily attracts criticism.
Just as I always believed, like every one else I had my own right to hold and
express my views. Thank God Government did not reduce the age limit for sex by mutual
consent. If it had, what it eventually means is the governing body itself
encouraging premarital sex legally as marriageable age is 18years. Even today I
think premarital sex is not a crime from legal point of view but from ethical
stand point it surely is.
- Youth can easily get carried away thinking they found right person and engage in sex only to repent later that they did commit a mistake. Any person with conscience will regret for life the mistake done.
- It is a clear case of cheating spouse if the person fails to marry the one with whom he/she had premarital sex. It is not easy trauma to go through when person discovers that his/her has cheated her/him and usually these things are concealed during marriage.
- The indulgence can sometimes lead to blackmails at later point time and thus shattering future life for sake few minutes of physical pleasure.
- There are innumerable sadists in the world who secretly record the intercourse and circulate it on the internet. Thousands (if not lakhs) of MMS scandals uploaded in internet are evidence of just that. This turns the intercourse from a private affair to public entertainment.
- There is a risk to marriage life of indulgence in premarital affair with a person who is not your spouse. It can lead to many consequences like divorce, unsatisfactory marriage full of quarrels, or even at times suicides by the victim or person indulged in premarital.
Irony of this entire situation
lies in the fact that we had a generation of social reformers who opposed child
marriages and now we have a new generation reformers who want the age limit for
sex by mutual consent must be reduced.
