RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat calls marriage 'dharma', slams live-in relationships: 'We don't want responsibilities but happiness'

On Sunday, Mohan Bhagwat, chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), referred to marriage as a practice that “instils dharma.” He also commented on live-in relationships saying, “reality of live-in relationships can be seen all over the world.”

RSS chief while speaking at an event in Hyderabad said, "Marriage is a discipline which instils dharma. Its alternative is live-in relationship. Modernity. What are its consequences? We don't want responsibilities but happiness. Stay together when it is wanted and part ways when not wanted. No responsibilities. What will grow with it? What is growing, look around the world.”
