I believe this way: Since in ancient days human kind have had sexual intercourse with many individuals and to bring that under control, the system of Marriage was found - means, one woman for a man. Later that has become like a mandatory duty in society, like, okay - he's 25 and have to get married. Reason : Honestly speaking, to fulfil the sexual needs and for reproduction. No offense, but this must be the truth. After all coming across this fact, i believe that marriage is not a must one! It's my personal view and not conclude on anyone else.. ;)

I just wanted to put out my thoughts on why and how marriage system has formed.. emotions, love and sharing of feelings n thoughts must've come later only.. otherwise, y do u fall in love or crush with so many and not only with ur wife..? And, ofcourse, i respect the relation as life partners as i'm seeing my parents, my friends' parents, relatives from childhood.. u better don't take it in other way around.. :)

Mr. Mani,we are humans not animals; sex is only a part of life; you will have to other part - your HEAD, which others cannot.

Hi Mani I partially agree with you. Anthropological data prooves that man or woamn are not meant to be monogamous, and mariage is an invention to prevent chaos. At the same time, one cant deny that perhaps a equal number of men and women are marrying for love and eternity as those who are marrying for sex, reproduction and societal fears. If the latter was not true, why do in all surveys men want virgins as wives. Simple. They want the first bite of the apple.
