Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitin Gadkari has spoken openly about live-in relationships and same-sex marriage. In a recent YouTube podcast, the minister was asked about his opinion on some key issues facing the younger generation.
Speaking about live-in-relationships, Gadkari commented, “Live-in-relationships are wrong. Once I went to the British Parliament in London. Their Prime Minister and Foreign Minister asked me, What are the major issues in your country? To which I said. Poverty and hunger. Asked what they are, they say that the biggest problem with European countries is that they are not willing to marry.
Highlighting the dangers posed by the growing trend of live-in-relationships, Nitin Gadkari asked what effect it would have on people.
“How will they have children? What will the future of the child be? If you destroy the social structure, how will it affect people?” he asked.
The Union Minister added, “Live-in relationship is not right, it will ruin the society.”

However, he emphasized that ultimately the society will decide according to its own criteria but what is wrong should be pointed out.
