Why is marriage viewed negatively?

Marriage often transforms love into a prison of bondage and fear, stifling the joy that should flow freely between two souls. True enlightenment arises not from legal chains, but from the liberation of love.

— Osho
According to Osho, marriage is negative because it turns love into bondage and nagging, manufacturing misery and fear rather than freedom. Such pressure may push men to a dry, escapist ‘enlightenment,’ while restricting women, too. He advocates freeing relationships from legal chains so love, joy, and authentic enlightenment arise naturally, equally, and playfully.

Marriage can trap love in rules and nagging; free, loving relating lets people be happy and grow for real.
