Dimensions of Love and Chastity

Abstract

From the Sangam period till today, the expressions of Kalavu and karpin have been circulating in different dimensions focusing on women. Even if it is stated that the gender discrimination presented by internal grammars is caused by corruption, it cannot be denied that the natural opposite sex drive of male and female occurs due to sexual stimulation. So, when the thalaivan and thalaivi who have made this level of education point their lives towards harmony and draft, a life called chastity is built there. When the Tamil literature that presented these things today absorb the western culture and travel, Kalau and Karpu are constructed in a different way. In the literature, there are many different ways of living in society is registered such as having sex in the same house without marrying as lovers, a woman who does not marry because of true love and living with two men, a woman falling in love with her kidnapper and having a relationship with him, a woman living with two men due to poverty, a woman marrying a man who had sex with her against her will, etc. We should not criticize the literature or the media as a reflection of society. But the question arises as to how appropriate the cultural change will be in this society which has been steeped in a patriarchal society for ages and still sees women as objects. In the context of the prevalence of sexual violence against women, such western cultural records only encourage them and do not tend to respect women. Therefore, without imposing the word 'Chastity' on women, it is important for men and women to maintain self-control and live faithfully to each other. Emphasizing this concept, this research paper has been written
