As soon as one associates with a prostitute, immediately he becomes addicted to
abominable activities, and that is the beginning of falldown. According to this
formula, the system of arranged marriage of the boys and the girls is
recommended, although that is not the guarantee; real thing is association. But
still, when the boys and girls are grown, up it is a custom in Hindu society to
get them married so that they may not fall prey to the prostitute or illicit
sex life. That is very dangerous, such falling down. That is clearly stated
here. Sridhara Swami says, [Sanskrit] Sva-dara. Sva means calm; dara means
wife. So there is regulative principles how to remain husband and wife
peacefully.
