How can I be with a woman who is married to someone else?

“

Love cannot thrive in the shadows of secrecy; embrace truth and let the old ties dissolve to make way for the new.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, if love flowers with a married woman it reveals the old marriage is loveless and the new bond is real; don’t sustain a ‘double sin’ through secrecy. Choose truth: end the former tie simply and openly, then unite. Families and laws should be fluid so partners can change without stigma, conflict, or prolonged legal torment.
Be honest: end the old relationship first, then be together—no hiding, no hurting two homes.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces deceit and suffering for all involved.
- Honors authentic love with honesty and responsibility.
- Prevents long-term inner conflict caused by rigid, loveless bonds.
