What happens to those who are already married if they escape the world?

True love transcends possession; it flourishes in freedom, allowing us to relate as friends rather than owners.

— Osho
According to Osho, even if already married, ‘escaping the worldmeans dropping possessiveness and sexual claim, relating as friends—like mother/sister respect—rather than as owners. If love has faded, separate in gratitude, not guilt; let a self-reliant commune share responsibility for children, so no bondage remains. Marriage/divorce are outdated; live and part in love, with community care easing practical burdens.

If you’re married and go spiritual, stop owning each other, be kind friends, and let the community help with the kids if you choose to part.
