Ask Osho!

What happens when I choose to get married despite opposition to marriage?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Marrying to appease opposition is a surrender to security that extinguishes love's flame, transforming it into a mere occupation rather than a nourishing union. True marriage blossoms only when love matures into compassion and acceptance."

According to Osho, marrying as a legal institution—especially to counter others’ opposition—trades love’s living flame for security, turning you into a slave of law and habit: a trap where fools soon lose their cool. Unless love is consciously refined into compassion, acceptance, and synchronicity, marriage gives occupation, not nourishment. If love matures into true marriage, you have his blessings; otherwise, beware.
Don’t marry for the paper or to prove a point—only love grown with awareness becomes real marriage; otherwise it’s a safe-looking cage.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivate awareness, compassion, and acceptance before legalizing the bond.
- Drop jealousy, possessiveness, and anger; nourish the relationship creatively.
- Don’t rely on law for love; let marriage arise naturally when love reaches synchronicity.
