Transcript

00:00The government resists a lot when the court says that marital rape has to be taken as a crime.

00:07The government says, if you turn that into a law, then the family system will collapse.

00:12They do not know what they're admitting.

00:14Otherwise, why will the family system be threatened if you make marital rape a punishable crime?

00:20But they are saying, no, no, no, don't turn marital rape into a legal crime.

00:25Otherwise, the family system will collapse.

00:27It's not even about the family system.

00:29It's about the quality of individuals.

00:31We are not raising conscious individuals.

00:34An unconscious man, an unconscious woman, they reach the age of 25 or 30,

00:38or sometimes just 18 or 20, and they get into that nuptial arrangement.

00:44And after that, we'll have sex.

00:45What will be the quality of that union?

00:47We want an awakened society.

00:50We want a spiritually literate society.

00:53And then you will not need to tell the man and the woman what to do in life.
