I think we just come from very different perspectives/worldviews/expectations. I respect if someone has made the choice to wait until marriage, but I think it's your own personal decision if you want to do it before as well.

I really don't think it's fair to make any moral judgment calls- and I also don't think that you can make a direct correlation between premarital sex and the amount of single mothers in the USA, especially considering that a lot of those single moms are women who have gotten divorced, so the point is moot anyway.

And in all honesty, ffor people my age around here, the pressure to have sex is always there and personally it's really frustrating for me. Whenever you get into a relationship, the expectation is there- when, how long will it take before you're ready? A month? Six months? The second date? It's tough. And sometimes guys won't stick around with you if you're not willing to give it up.

Just saying that you shouldn't judge/say it's wrong if you're not part of that particular community. Like I don't feel right judging the choices a middle class girl might make in India, because my experience as a middle class girl in the United States is so utterly different.


Rhapsody, I found your post so very interesting and true. I agree with you that in the West there is really peer pressure to have sex. In fact, in a relationship it becomes pre-requisite. But, hopefully most ppl who are engaging in this act (esp.girls) knows of the consequences and will take adequate precaution, so the morning after regret and repercussions will be minimal. So, in case of Purvi, I find she went into it blindly. Now, one might argue tha being an Indian she didn't fully appreciate what she was involved in. But surely she should have been scared for there are possible consequences. Even more importantly, I find it hard that a girl gives up a guy after being so intimately involved with - just within a span of few hours. Can we imagine what a Guy is called, who does this to a girl?

I wanted to share something really funny someone told me once. A young male Caucasian once told me that he appreciates arrange marriages and getting GFs can be a tough job esp. if out of school and colleges. I can understand where he was coming from.

And I want to end by saying, I loved your post and the simple honestly in it...and I say, for I hear the same thing from college interns I get...

Honestly, I was not speaking from Religion I was speaking from Spirituality, they are not exactly the same. I don't really believe in Religion, I think it causes Segregation and that is another story.


NO Dear, I never said God Will not help you , read what I said again. I could never say that about God, I said the help won't be as quick, because remember you gotta learn from your mistakes first.😃 So, there will be some struggles as a single Mom. If not financially, via stigma.


I took the line, "Not to mention God may take a long time before he helps you out after your premarital sex decision, when you are in trouble..why? You have to learn the hard way." as you saying god will not help you if you premarital sex, but either way if you do something that has consequences like that, god expects you to live with those consequences, that thinking is not just limited to premarital sex, It's in general.

And I respect your spiritual beliefs. But, religion is not bad, it's the people that segregate and cause problems, and spirituality is a big part of hindu religion, in fact our scriptures take in account spirituality the most. And yes, that is another story better left for another day. :)

Of course, I agree with you being it a problem for single moms. Therefore, I emphasized the part that premarital sex if unplanned and such causes problems, therefore that is wrong. But, if you do it with planning and safety, ultimately it boils down to your preferences. Though, I feel you should do it in wedlock, but again it boils down to it being your decision. 😃

Well I was not limiting it to Premarital sex only, but we were speaking in that context, so I sticking to that topic.

I never said Religion is totally bad, because I do still belong to one, I am just not a devotee then, I prefer to focus on my personal relationship with God.😃

Okay, I guess that makes sense!:)
And ultimately even I don't know if I am truly religious or not because I don't know what being religious is, but I guess me caring about our scriptures is what makes me religious?! And, I also believe in one diety just like you do and also try to focus on my relationships with him so I get where you are coming from. 😃

😃Caring about the scriptures is not only religious, it is for anyone to use as a guide to live their lives. I know lots of non religious people who read and live by the scriptures.

At the end of the day though, I don't have a problem with others who are devotees, to each his own.

I don't believe this. First, pls stop being rude to people and if you are truly intersted in my response, read further. If you take the stand of my way or high way, let's call it quits.
I thought yours were the reasonable response of the lot who answered my question and if I ask you back on what you wrote, are you painting my thoughts were dirty?
My question which was plain and simple. What would you say if Arjun had turned the tables on Ovi in such a scenario? Would you find it morally right or wrong?
You brought in the point of ill-treated spouse that implies Ovi was one. If I had to talk about two unknowns, why would I not say X and Y, why would I say Arjun and Ovi? When you have gone in lengths to paint Arjun as the mean guy and defend Ovi's actions which was no way related to my question, why cannot I read your reference on ill-treated spouse meant for Ovi
Let's not hide behind the semantics, let's atleast have the basic honesty in these discussions as we both are not going to gain or lose anything material..
And if I ask you back why do you think he was ill-treated by arguing and counter-arguing on who was ill-treated, you find it tit-for-tat? I am sorry, in my world, it is called as debate and if you are like the rest who are not ready to hear anyone questioning your post, we are both wasting our time, aren't we?
And on my point on sex vs love making, it was a question to you as you as you were the one who suggested what was wrong in the act as it is common for husband and wife to have sex. This much I know dear, the question was - is that right after she decided to leave him.
So, all I have done is repeating your points and debating with counter questions. pls stop taking the high grounds here.
One thing I do agree with you is indeed, what has the world come to? You would find me lamenting on the same in few of my posts.

You know what, my apologies for not answering you with more patience strictly because you chose to say that Ovi backstabbed Arjun via the deal and Arjun not mourning "Ovi's" baby makes them even. especially because he never knew the baby...can you see why I would be shocked by your statement? This is the only part where I meant tit for tat, because you are saying Ovi hurt him so it is okay for him to hurt her back in such a horrible way.

I found those statements, shocking, why because the baby belongs to both of them and a man should mourn his dead child, no matter who the Mother is or how he feels about her. It is not about my way or the high way, but if you are going to say it is okay he did not mourn the death of his own because Ovi backstabbed him with a deal, I can't relate at all. You see what I am saying? If you think it is okay, then I don't know how to dialogue with you, because we will not be reasoning on the same level.

I answered your question about Arjun twice. What I am saying is that if Arjun was in Ovi's position I would not have a problem with him walking out, even after sex, because he was ill-treated during the marriage.
Now, what you are not understanding from my point of view, is that I am justifying the action as right, if you are ill-treated you have all rights to leave.
However, you cannot ask me such a question when you have already concluded that Arjun was ill-treated and I have concluded that Ovi was the one ill-treated. So, you see the inequality in our beliefs so we cannot arrive at an agreement because we both have a different perception of the situation.
In My Point of View.
Arjun was ill-treated by Purvi and Purvi only by using his love for her against him for her Mother. It was her perception that this choice was right, it was her perception that Arjun and Ovi should marry, because Ovi never mentioned marriage, she only said give me back my Arjun. If Purvi had even gone ahead with this so-called deal, by just not marrying Arjun, and let him decide what to do after, then life would more than likely have been different for everyone involved.
Yes, Ovi should not have tried to get back Arjun in such a way, for her own self-respect.
No one put a gun to Arjun's head to marry Ovi, Arjun went ahead any ways, whether or not he knew about the deal at first. Purvi's statement to him was an indirect admission of part of the reason why he should marry Ovi.
So, how did Ovi really ill-treat Arjun? She certainly did not ill-treat him during the marriage either.

Ovi left because she realised she will never be completely loved only by Arjun. that Purvi is who he loves. Pari's existence was like a pinch for her to wake up.
She is leaving with her bags, her Father was taking her away, Arjun pleaded, even went as far as to say Pari was given back to Purvi. Ovi still in love listens to all his pleas, and she had a moment of weakness, she wanted sometime with him, maybe to see if there was some hope, who knows, we don't know. The only thing we know is that she left after and went on a plane to find herself, leaving a video. The video was the most honest thing done by any of the characters in this show. Ovi spoke her heart, she was honest in her Video and no one can take that away. It is never too late to be honest and humble. Arjun is now free to do what he wants.
If Purvi was so wonderful to him and loved him so much, then here is her chance to go back to him.

Arjun and Purvi did not break up because of Ovi, it is the weakness of their love that broke them up.Purvi buckled under pressure. she made decisions for Archana, Archana is an adult she can make her own decisions.

So this is my view on why I believe Arjun was not ill-treated by Ovi only by Purvi.
Therefore, I cannot answer your question about Arjun being in Ovi's place because now I understand what you were really trying to infer and make me answer to.

I also said that yes, nothing is wrong with her having sex with him then moving on or taking a break, because married couples always go through such things. they have fights and sex comes into play and they still go ahead and break-up because they still cannot get over the situation.
If you are asking me if Ovi did it on purpose to hurt Arjun (premeditated), no that would have been the last thing on her mind, because he was the one who instigated it, she only went along with it.
I know as a woman, in love with a man, you can become weak for a moment and do things that are not premeditated but only swept by emotions. I just figured you would have understood that, so I was puzzled by your constant reference to the sex/lovemaking between the married couple, whether they broke up after that or not. Plus that moment of weakness cant be wrong because they are married.

Well, I hope I have answered your questions this time and Dear don't feel bad about my impatience previously.

I saw the Episode and no I don't see Arjun's point of view. His statements showed the usual, he always took Ovi for granted.
The same dialogues he gave to Ovi, about how could she do this to him, he should have said that to Purvi, when she was dumping him.

Well based on your arguments I have seen around the forum, you do seem Anti-Ovi, but that is not the reason I reacted that previously. I said it already.

Otherwise, if you really want to know how I feel about both Purvi's and Ovi's characters, you will have to read them on Kools Commentary. I may prefer Ovi, but I know I am in no way unfair to Purvi. My main contention with Purvi, is her lack of admission to her mistakes and her self-righteous when she is doing them.
When Purvi had accepted Ovi's deal, Archana told her she was wrong, and not even Archana could convince her that she was. Her own Mother who she claimed to do this for, could not even explain to her. She is so arrogant about being right at all times.
It is funny, how me being a Ovi fan, is more upset that Purvi dumped Arjun after she insisted to be with him at first, never cared about Ovi, had to have her way, and at the first sign of pressure she buckled and dumped the guy.
Arjun is not in love with Ovi, so she having sex then dumping or walking out on him, is in no way comparable to the devastation he felt when Purvi had sex with him and gave him up after that. It does not matter the reason, it is still a hurtful act. It makes no sense to draw Purvi situation in this to prove Ovi wrong. Two completely different situations. That is why I used the word "ill-treatment," to show the difference in the two situations. Arjun never ever did anything to hurt Purvi.
