This topic is going to generate lots of controversial comments. Anyway, that’s the purpose of putting together this article.

I’m aiming at something: To explain in simple terms, the implications, advantages and disadvantages of sex before marriage, then leave the rest for you to comment on.

Also, important relative factors on the subject matter will be discussed.

The Global world consists of diverse culture, norms, faith/belief and historical links on the issue of sex. The modern day civilization and globalization is having pronounced impacts on this sensitive issue.

From a religious point of view, the Bible (Christian perspective) made it clear that “Marriage is honourable  if the bed is undefiled”. This is a crystal clear picture of total abstinence from sex before marriage, so sex is only honourable after marriage.

The Islamic faith also lends weight to the Christian belief on this issue; they affirm that no sex before marriage.

From the African perspective, tradition and culture maintains that there should be no sex before marriage. Why? You may ask. However, you may not be a believer in any of the above faith. The issue, from your own perspective, maybe, what appeals to me may not appeal to you. But, wait a minute; I discovered that a law being made is for the actual benefit of the people it was made for. In essence, it will be to your own advantage if there is no sex before marriage.

However, a contrary opinion is now surfacing, and that is the issue of “real life experience”. People are trying to avoid some unfortunate incidence that some couples are currently in. Take a look at this, how will you cope and manage if after 5-10 years of marriage, there is no issue of child bearing by your wife? This unfortunate anomaly is forcing people to engage in sex before marriage and at the same time, they would want the lady to actually get pregnant before marriage. This development also calls for concern and debate.

Anyway, the platform is laid down for you to comment on…sex before marriage, is it right?
