“No matter how you package the concept of living together before marriage, it cannot be right for the society. We shouldn't ape the permissiveness and decadence of the western world. The old values of strict moral values which we're struggling to uphold here, are still the best for the institution of marriage.”

“If women want to be respected by the world, they will have to do more to uplift their image themselves. They shouldn’t feel that because they rear children for the world and keep homes, they are entitled to respect, irrespective of their own behaviour and character.”
