Violence in the name of love..

Why is modern India still in the Victorian era? A young couple who had a love marriage commit suicide as their parents have not accepted them! Whom should we blame?

Parents/society/ couple?

If the couple live happily their community does not allow them. If they have managed to escape the wrath of the community then the parents don’t accept.

My advice to couples: Since you have taken the plunge, go on till the end of the journey. There will be more downs initially but soon they give way to ups! Once parents see you happily married they would relent. Since you have taken a decision to marry without parental consent, why do you get so bogged down when they are in the non-acceptance mode? Time will bring them to you.

 

My advice to parents; You have lived your life. Let the young ones live theirs. Can we not do that much for our children? If they are working and independent why not let them choose. Your worry maybe, what if their choice is wrong? Well even arranged marriages can fail. Why not be there, support them and get their love marriages working ?

 

If all these methods fail, do not hesitate to see a professional Counsellor!
