Personally, consummation before marriage is not an idea I would support generally but this post reminded me of the movie 'Aradhana ' ...Did I balk at the scene where the protagonosts were shown to indulge in the act before they were married according to social traditions?True they did unite in the presence of God but the institution of marriage requires social sanction too so were they married truly in that sense?.. That scene though passionate was aesthetically shot and it did not fill me with derision for the characters. If I think practically I would call it a mistake on the part of the protagonists but I would not go as far as to say it was a sin as the intention behind that act was not impure! It may have been the lack of self control and practical sense- a giving in to the circumstances in a moment of weakness. So I don't know if I have the right to judge anything in real life without knowing the circumstances involved...But I would prefer individuals to wait prudently without giving in to the situations.
Having said this I believe that both Viplav and Dhani had enough of self control to not get engulfed any situation where society would have the opportunity to point fingers...Speciaaly Vipu as he loved Dhani too much to overstep his boundary in this matter.
I was really impressed with everyones's opinion on this engaging topic.😊
