________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir હિંદુ લગ્ન સંસ્થા ૪૬૯ with the name of Solon To day we may see the same process going on in India. In some part of India (as at Jijuri near Poona) first-born girls are dedicated to Khandoba or other gods; they are married to the god and termed muralis. They serve in the temple, sweep it, and wash the holy vessels, also they dance, sing and prostitute themselves. They are forbidden to marry, and they live in the homes of their parents, brothers, or sisters; being consecrated to religious service, they are untouched by degradation. Now-a-days, however, Indian ‘reformers', in the name of · civilization ' and ' science ', seek to persuade the muralis that they are plunged in a career of degradation.' No doubt in time the would-be moralists will drive the muralis out of their temples and their homes, deprive them of all self respect, and convert them into wretched outcasts, all in cause of * science ' and · civilization.” [ s૭, ૭. g. an article by Mrs. Kashibai Deodhar, The New Reformer, Act, 1907] : Studies in Psychology of sex, Vol VI−Havlook Ellis. આ સુધારણાને વિજય ! ! ઠીક, વયની વૃદ્ધિ સાથે સમાજમાં ધાર્મિક અને નૈતિક કાયદાઓ ન હોય, તેા વેશ્યાવૃત્તિ અને વ્યભિચાર વગેરેની નિશ્ચિત વૃદ્ધિ થશે. હવે વ્યભિચાર વધવા એને જ સુધારકાર સમાજ સુધારણા કહેવા લાગશે એ અમે જાણીએ છીએ. વ્યભિચાર શા માટે વધવા ન જોઈએ એનાં નૈતિક અને સામાજિક કારા અમે પાછળ આપ્યાં જ છે, વેશ્યાવૃત્તિની વૃદ્ધિ સાથે ઉપદ’શાદિ વિકાર વધે છે. ઉપ’શાર્દિ । સમાજ સ્વાસ્થ્ય માસિક રધુનાથ ધેડા છે, For Private and Personal Use Only
