Mirza ki Marzi???

Generally websurfing on a Saturday morning. Come to this article Indian Tennis Star Opposes Premarital Sex. Notice anything interesting?

Yes, thats right, this was on NY Times. The self-styled greatest newspaper in the world, has a link to this. Honestly, is this even newsworthy? To those not knowing the background to this, there was this leading actress in India, I think her name is Khushboo or something, who said, that it doesn't make any difference what society thinks, if a woman wants she should be free to have pre-marital sex. I don't know if she is married, but apparently she had no problem doing it. And if you ask me, more power to her. But why should anyone have a problem?

The hulabuloo (is that how one spells it?) about Sania Mirza is even more ridiculous. What she said was very simple. She personally thinks it is a sin. But if some people do not think it is a sin (or even if they do and are intrigued with the idea of going to their respective religious hells), the least they should do is take the proper protection. What is irresponsible about that? If anything, this is about as level-headed advice as I have seen from people. SM cannot control the wishes of other people, but the least she can do is say that you better be careful. You are impacting a minimum of two lives. Another aspect that came to my curious mind. All the articles specifically speak about women. There was no mention if anybody has any problem with men having pre-marital sex. If it's ok for men to do it, but not for women, I think we are promoting a whole lot of extra-marital affairs. But that's me.

Sex (like religion) is personal to each individual. Let's not give the delusional people who think of themselves as the sentries of public morality a chance to bore us even more.
