Why i'm against sex before marriage
- Thread starter Starlight

Or aren't healthy enough for pregnancy and childbirth but wealth enough for sterilization. You'd be amazed how many sterilization requests are refused for women of childbearing age on the grounds that they may change their mind.
Too bad I can't put you on ignore.*wave*
Could always do it the old fashioned way. That'd require some emotional regulation though.
Fear not though. I can ignore you.

Sure, it's going to be called Site Feedback.
Invite me to the wedding after all the drama.
Can't marry someone who doesn't believe in it.
Convince her politely, go on a journey to truth with each other.

A alternative solution (and maybe better solution)
than to make sex outside marriage illigal is to learn to children and teenangers in school the value of the human life. And to teach teenagers that abortion is wrong because it is to kill a innocent baby. And to kill human life is wrong. And that God is against abortion, because of that. And to learn to teenagers that because of this the most moral is to wait with sex to after marriage.
So the teenagers and young adults can have sex before marriage if they want (and get Birthcontroll) but that the school and society tell them that the best and most moral decition is to wait with sex to after marriage. And that the school and society learn teenagers that abortion is a bad and morally wrong (in most cases). But that the teenagers and young adults is allowed to do the opposite, but that they is strongly warned against it

That logic doesn't fly. If the argument against abortion is that a fetus is the life of a sacred and innocent human soul, is it made less valuable and deserving because it was a product of rape? What if a baby is killed by the mother or doctor after it was born, is the rapist still the murderer rather than the aforementioned?

What are your thoughts on polygamous marriages? Arranged or forced marriages? Those are also as old as human culture.

That's like saying pizza is natural just because its ingredients are, and that we would all starve to death without it, as if no alternative existed.

I have nothing against polygamous marriage because it do not harm anyone . I have nothing against arranged marriage either, but i'm very against forced marriages because that is harmful

And gay marriage?
Consider a militaristic society, where the men are away from home most of the time. The women pretty much manage things in the villages.
Sex with whomever is agreeable is the norm when the men return to the villages. There are no bonding ceremonies or cohabitation.
Pregnancy is accepted and seen as legitimate when a man acknowledges that he might be the father, otherwise it's suspected that the woman slept with an outsider.
OK. Who is married to whom, in Nayar society?
What about people who are committed to their relationships but don't want to go through the legal framework of marriage? You'd be harming them by delegtimizing their relationships unless they get married.
I don't know. Would they even describe it as marriage if you explained the word to them?
They are not natural. They are not found in all societies, and what constitutes 'honor' varies widely.
You're speaking from the perspective of your own, western culture, and extrapolating it to a universal.
