1. Arranged marriage recommended

    As soon as one associates with a prostitute, immediately he becomes addicted to abominable activities, and that is the beginning of falldown. According to this formula, the system of arranged marriage of the boys and the girls is recommended, although that is not the guarantee; real thing is association. But still, when the boys and girls are grown, up it is a custom in Hindu society to get them married so that they may not fall prey to the prostitute or illicit sex life. That is very dangerous, such falling down. That is clearly stated here. Sridhara Swami says, [Sanskrit] Sva-dara. Sva means calm; dara means wife. So there is regulative principles how to remain husband and wife peacefully.
