RSS clarified it’s stand on marrriage in the awake of supreme court
verdict recetly. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary
Dattatreya Hosabale backed the central government’s opposition to the legal
validation of same-sex marriage, saying marriage is a ‘Sanskar’ in the
Hindu philosophy of life and not an instrument for enjoyment. When asked
about Sangh’s stand over the issue of same-sex marriage, Hosabale told
reporters that RSS agrees with the Centre’s view on this issue as marriage
can take place only between opposite genders.”Marriages can take place between two opposite genders. In Hindu life
marriage is ‘Sanskar’, it isn’t for enjoyment, neither it is a contract.
Living together is different, but what is called marriage is a ‘sanskar’ in
Hindu life for thousands of years, which means that two individuals get
married and live together not only for themselves, but for the family and
for the social good. Marriage is neither for sexual enjoyment nor a
contract,” he said.
