Why is it that in Europe and America, young people go on with multiple girlfriends and are afraid of committing themselves through marriage? What is their future, the future of their ‘girlfriends’ and the future of their babies? I am an Indian and think that some of our people, too, are trying to follow this trend. But at what expense?

A friend of mine attended an Indian wedding ceremony last week, and he and I talked about how strange and scary it would be to marry a complete stranger – but that is an Indian custom. To the Indian couple getting wed, it would probably be more strange and scary to date around and risk pregnancy by having casual sex. What are the consequences? Well, dating and sex are fun and interesting, and multiple relationships have helped me understand different types of people, how to resolve conflict, and how to be intimate. On the other hand, I’ve been through a lot of heartbreak, I don’t easily trust men, and most of my female friends have had at least one abortion. In spite of the problems, I prefer the freedom of experimentation because it is just that–freedom–and I’m not ready to marry or have children (though I hope to someday when I find the person who is exactly right for me). I’m waiting for true love.

Dating seems to be about the only way of finding such a person. It’s usually only harmful when the female gets pregnant, which won’t happen if the couple is careful enough. Children of single parents often don’t thrive as well as those with two parents.

You seem to believe that marriage is declining in the west because men do no want to get married any more. This is quite inaccurate. In the 20th century, women have achieved a greater financial and social independance in a huge leap. This has changed the balance of power. A woman does not NEED to get married anymore as she can be self-reliant. This is also to do with the decline of religion, which is no longer enforced legally and socially as we have moved into multi-cultural societies. Incidentally, I somewhat doubt that men’s philandering impulses were totally curbed by marriage in the past !!!
