Acharya Prashant addresses the psychological distress caused by the institution of marriage, noting that it is a primary contributor to neurosis. He explains that people often remain in abusive or humiliating marriages due to the pressure to conform to social norms and the fear of being labeled abnormal. This compulsion is fueled by mass media and entertainment, which glamorize the idea that life's highest purpose is to find a partner. He contrasts this with the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, which focus on right action, liberation, and self-knowledge rather than romantic pursuits. He emphasizes that the feeling of being incomplete without a partner is a social construct rather than a biological necessity, as such permanent 'welding' is not found in nature.
