If you have a choice , then the same should apply to taking up the responsibility for your decisions. And this has nothing to do with society, but rather an individual decision to have premarital sex or have baby while your still a teen, it's really an indivisible choice and can't blame society for it because the society wasn't there when you were having unsafe sex...

If pre-marital sex is a choice like we all are saying , wrong or right , it doesn't have to stand on the morality validation of society.

But unfortunately unprotected sex has repercussions like Health issues, diseases, HIV etc which makes it imperative for a society to talk about safe sex especially among young people so as to educate them about their body and precautions just like UN's campaign for sex sex, HIV etc.

Ofcourse society is to be blamed because of the taboo and silent dogma it runs over the word sex. If a young teen is not educated about puberty , protection , hormones rather the curiosity is suppressed , then he/she will severely be affected psychologically or have half-baked ideas about it. Just like here Harshad knew well enough to use condom but not that they can fail too. Wrong ideas about sex and chastity encourage s**t shaming and females demeaning their own body.

Navya will pay the price , nobody from society will be paying the health bills whichever choice she makes wrt her pregnancy, but denying her the normal life and calling her immoral is wrong.

Society cannot place a blanket over the issues and then cry innocent, right?

I think we are both saying two different things here, no where I am mentioning sex education is not required nor needed, i believe it's a must. I am all hail for sex education, bring it on Nandu, she might just teach us a lesson that we haven't already learned in 8th grade 😆

What I am stating is at the end of the day you can teach sex education but the individual will make the choice of having safe sex or not! How does the society play a part on premarital sex? Don't people have sex regardless? And even in the aftermath of premarital sex or unprotected sex or any type of sex 😆 how does society play a role? If a women wants to have a baby, she will have it either way, how does the society stop the women from having or not having the child from premarital sex?

I get what you are saying , just that - sometimes women are forced to keep the babies because society thinks it' a sin to abort(religious, social reasoning) , while there are times women are forced to abort because it will mean disgrace and shame. Peer pressure from society do influence the choice or decision. Also the fear of social acceptability sometimes cloud the decision .

It's the response after making the choice , where society play a role on subjects like pre-marital sex or teen pregnancy . South Asia is notorious where women in villages are paraded naked and are punished if they have pre-marital sex
