this would cause a stir in the society, like it does here. and might lead to prblems like divorce, diseases from unmarried sex, rape, etc.

Goddess give me strength!!!

I will take special note today, I will give thanks for my ability to live as a free thinking woman. I will give thanks for the love of my friends and family--and the fact they choose to support me and not to dictate.
I will give thanks that I am free to make my own mistakes, to pursue my dreams, to speak my mind.

I am so lucky.

I can't even respond to your rationale Abduhu, but thank you for reminding me of what I have...
