Marriages should culminate on account of the wishes of the couple. It is their knitting of the hearts that should lead to marriages.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyA male has the right to wander about as he pleases. He has the right to marry any number of girls. This practice has led to prostitution.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyThe number of those who do selfless public service and those who serve without expecting any return, should increase. Their sterling qualities should show the way to the people at large. Their life would be a model to show how man should conduct himself in public life.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyMan treats woman as his own property and not as being capable of feelings, like himself.

These treat them so demeaningly only in situations mutually affecting them; but men treat cruelly and as slaves, from their birth till death.
