Gurudev, Many parents believe that marriage is necessary for a suitable and secure life for their girl child. What do you think? To what extent is marriage necessary for a comfortable and secure life?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

No, marriage is not just for a girl’s safety alone. It is a personal choice also. But I will say one thing to you. Even after being married, be happy. Some people are unhappy despite getting married, and some are unhappy being single as well.
