Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether casual physical intimacy or pre-marital sex is right by challenging the underlying assumption that post-marital sex is inherently acceptable. He argues that the marital status of a relationship is irrelevant; what truly matters is the quality of the encounter and the state of mind of the individuals involved. He points out that even within marriage, there can be violence, exploitation, and marital rape, which are often ignored because they are sanctioned by law and religion. He emphasizes that any union not rooted in actual love and consciousness is abominable, regardless of whether it occurs before or after marriage.
