Ask Osho!

Is it alright to get married and have children?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Marriage is your choice, but approach it with awareness and a willingness to learn; as for children, their impact extends beyond you, so tread carefully."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, marriage is your choice—go ahead if you must, but do it with awareness, sobriety, and readiness to learn from mistakes; he won’t stop you. Children, however, are another matter: they implicate the whole world, so he cannot recommend having them. If you marry, he suggests marrying a sannyasin, making childlessness easier.
Get married if you want, but be wise; avoid having kids unless you’re truly ready, because it affects everyone.
