Traditional Indian culture often emphasizes monogamy and the sanctity of marriage. Open marriages, which involve consensually having relationships outside the marriage, can challenge these traditional norms and may be viewed as conflicting with established values.
consent and individual human right matters : Open marriages, when practiced consensually and respectfully, may not necessarily “ruin” culture but rather reflect diverse approaches to relationships. The key is whether such practices are aligned with the values and consensual agreements of those involved. You can consider the psychological impact if we keep aside the tradition lens –
positive –
1)Increased Communication: Open relationships often require high levels of communication and honesty, which can strengthen overall relationship dynamics and foster trust.P
2)personal Growth: They can offer opportunities for personal growth by allowing individuals to explore their desires and needs more freely.
Negative –
1)Relationship Strain: If not managed well, the additional dynamics of an open relationship can strain the primary relationship and potentially lead to conflicts.
2)Jealousy and Insecurity: Open relationships can sometimes lead to feelings of jealousy or insecurity if boundaries and communication are not clearly established.
3)Complex Emotions: Managing multiple relationships can lead to complex emotional challenges and stress, requiring careful balance and attention.
Some Indians may choose positive effects sidelining the negative one and some may prefer the overshadowing of negative section, In summary, whether open relationships “ruin” Indian culture is a matter of perspective. They challenge traditional norms but also reflect evolving societal attitudes. The impact on culture will depend on how these practices are integrated and accepted within the broader social context

Love is not unconditional, nor should it be. Love should never be a compromise. Love should be shared. Love shouldn’t be a series of mistakes, fights, arguments, or negotiating. Love should be easy.

Love is not unconditional, nor should it be. Love should never be a compromise. Love should be shared. Love shouldn’t be a series of mistakes, fights, arguments, or negotiating. Love should be easy. But it seldom if ever is. Fair or not, love needs to be a partnership. Love needs to be more than two people caring for one another and more than people trying to make each other happy. I find it frequently true that love is hard. Duh, right? It’s difficult. It’s impossible. And it needs to be. Because if love were easy, it wouldn’t be worth having. For me, in order for a relationship to work, love has to be and should be conditional.
I find this pretty evident. I mean, who wants to put themselves out there and love unconditionally? To be honest with you, I’ve loved and I’ve lost more in my life than I would ever like to feel again. For me, it’s not about loss, it’s about the regrets of mistakes I made, not what someone else has done. I own who I am. I own my actions, I own my feelings, and I own my love. I don’t give it freely and expect very little in return when I do. And because of that I expect to have it returned. But unfortunately that’s not always the case.
Please allow me to contradict myself for a moment. Love should be and will always be unconditional. That is to say that you should be able and willing to love someone without expecting anything in return. Selflessly. That’s what makes love incredibly unique as well as difficult to find. The selflessness of being able to open yourself up for the ultimate crush. The ultimate pain. Not being loved. When I say that love is meant to be conditional it is that I don’t want to ever feel the sting of loving unconditionally and not being loved in return.
Things happen in life. Some are good, some bad. But one thing you shouldn’t be afraid to do is place a condition on your love. And why shouldn’t you? If your need to provide love is conditional upon being loved in return, treated fairly, respected, and adored, why shouldn’t you place conditions on your love? Love is the ultimate sacrifice. You provide someone the ammunition to foster a pain inside of you that few experiences can heal. So In my personal opinion it shouldn’t be unconditional.
