| Apr 21, 2020 at 20:23 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram sorry for the confusion: I meant the comments in your link explain it is not a sin. Also, you did not respond to my other points. | |
| Apr 21, 2020 at 19:37 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, why would i respond to your comments when you are purposely acting dumb ? the link i posted clearly says it is sin, and you say it is not. | |
| Apr 21, 2020 at 6:35 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram read the comments carefully. You did not reply to my other points I guess I am right. | |
| Apr 21, 2020 at 0:24 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, are you purposely acting dumb ? The answer in the link I posted mentions it is a sin with reference from scriptures. | |
| Apr 20, 2020 at 23:12 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram exactly my point homosexuality isn't a sin. Also, I am waiting for your reply on my other points. | |

| Apr 20, 2020 at 11:46 | comment | added | Wikash_ | "you can't deal with it, you are spiritually degraded as well." I can deal with a good person but persons who believe in forcefully marrying someone sounds like a terrible situation what should be forbidden in every yuga. Spiritual degradation? There is no proof of the existence of this spiritual world or any non material things except some nice stories but I can write stories too. Morality is sometimes far fetched in the smriti's and are contradicting other principles (such a the devi purana in which women are uplifted). | |
| Apr 20, 2020 at 11:43 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram there is no sin on homosexuality in Hinduism. The moral standards have not been degraded but upgraded. Forcefully kidnapping a woman against her will and marrying does not seem like a good situation. In fact it is immoral to do rape of sexual assault any person. "Is there any point in punishing a manual laborer for drinking alcohol." Yes there is. You see intoxication reduces the focus and relying on your senses which can create unsafe situations not only for the labourer but for all who surround this person. | |
| Apr 19, 2020 at 17:16 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, The Indian government today accepts adultery, homosexuality etc. as non-criminal. That's because the people's spirituality has degraded, so the laws/punishments are reduced. Is there any point in punishing a manual laborer for drinking alcohol.. The point still stands that kshatriyas are allowed in certain cases. If you can't deal with it, you are spiritually degraded as well. | |
| Apr 19, 2020 at 8:24 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram Would the Indian government today allow such kidnapping if you can prove you are a kshatriya? I did not think so either. So either the Brahman does a crappy job in the world or we have to take this with a grain of salt. | |
| Apr 18, 2020 at 18:10 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, did you read my comment ? I said only for kshatriyas. There are jail sentences today because modern day romeos are not kshatriyas. Just as in the past, there were jail sentences for non-kshatriyas who kidnapped brides. No different from toady. | |
| Apr 18, 2020 at 8:24 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram nowadays there are jails sentences for such practises. Why did the brahman allow for such a thing and at the same time condome such a marriage? | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:49 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, false.Kshatriya marriages allow abduction of bride in certain cases. But only for Kshatriyas, not for your beta Romeo from JNU | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 7:33 | comment | added | Wikash_ | @ram it has never been okay to abduct people. | |
| Aug 11, 2019 at 5:31 | comment | added | ram | @Wikash_, if you believe all Hindu epics are fairy tales, what exactly are you doing on this website ? | |
| Aug 7, 2019 at 4:05 | comment | added | ram | This is like to someone the year 3000 A.D asking 'why were moon landings so frequent during the 20th century?'. It happened only a few times, but because it was so famous, it is remembered for long time in history. you gave 3 examples. Out of how many billions of marriages that would have happened during that time ?? Statistically speaking, how do you know they were 'prevalent' ? | |
