What is the reason for wanting to marry?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Marriage is a cage built from the fear of freedom and the uncertainty of love; true love flourishes when it is free from contracts and conditions."
According to Osho, people want to marry because they fear freedom and love’s uncertainty; lacking trust in love, they seek institutional security—law, society, and economic safety—to keep partners together. Men want protection from all women by fearing only one; women seek security after historical dependence. But marriage imprisons and crushes love; authentic love needs no contract.
We marry mostly out of fear and for safety, but real love doesn’t need a cage or a contract.
Why this matters practically
- Check whether you’re seeking love or just safety and approval.
- Build trust and independence so the bond doesn’t rely on contracts.
- Choose courage and honesty over control; let relationships stay alive and voluntary.
