Pre-Marital Sex

Is it wrong to make love with a person whom we love without the social acclamation of marriage and is it right to have coitus with a stranger on the first night of marriage itself? The later; this happens in the arranged marriage culture which is still prevalent in some Asian countries. Is the social acclamation of being married so damn necessary to make love? Is pre-marital sex a sin?

Marriage is defined as a process of unification of two souls. To be precise, marriage is the process only to socially recognize the process of unification. Sex is process of unification of two souls. Obviously one individual won’t surrender the most beautiful moment of his/her life to another individual without any attachment. Pre-marital sex is initiation of the process of unification that shall later be socially recognized with knots and oaths. Pre-marital sex doesn't involve deceiving someone. It involves on a mutual agreement of two souls to practice something natural with their body parts. Marriage isn’t something that will change the spell of sex from sin to something very pious. Marriage is just some spells made by a priest or a known man that notifies our social unification.

A person has nothing to do with age to get ready to involve in the process of coitus. It is just that the person should be mentally ready and consensual. Waiting until marriage to have sex is a cultural phenomenon that had been carried on from time unknown without any acceptable base. We talk of gender equality on one hand and condemn pre-marital sex on the other hand. Pre-marital sex is respecting individual’s thoughts and actions.

There are other issues which we should be more concerned of than pre-marital sex. An individual shouldn't ask his partner if she had made love with somebody else before marriage. The question should be whether she had taken the perfect precaution as and when she made love before marriage.
