Re: Zahra Haiders Article about relationships in Pakistan
^I do believe in freedom in speech because if there’s a good counter-argument that can also be brought forward..
I’m not personally advocating sleeping with one person after another in case anyone is thinking that but in my eyes it’s not worse than marrying our kids off to people without asking/consulting them (which was and still is the norm in many families).. It’s probably a discussion for another time but I’m mentioning it because a breakdown in societal morals was mentioned and to me the traditional system is not necessarily morally superior because of that..
Btw I meant to reply to the slippery slope comment earlier but lost track.. Most people who are ok with pre-marital relationships would draw the line at not giving consent and/or lying and betrayal (for example being involved with someone married)..
So are you saying that the “traditional system” which promotes monogamous relationships and discourages promiscuity is not morally superior to the sort of lifestyle that OP is condoning?
