Room Conversation with Devotees — August 1, 1975, New Orleans 750801R1-NEW ORLEANS [39:01 Minutes] Conv_750801R1-NEW ORLEANS Prabhupāda: That is time for punishment. They should build up their character, śamaḥ, damaḥ, fully controlled. When they like, they become gṛhasthas. Otherwise they are controlled.
That is brāhmaṇa. For brāhmaṇa it is not compulsory to marry. Kṣatriyas may marry more than one wife. They can take.
So all girls must be married. That is... They must... They must have one husband, even the husband has got fifty wives.
Then the problem of girls' marriage will be solved. And as soon as one girl is pregnant, she should be separated. Hṛdayānanda: From the husband.
Prabhupāda: At least for one and half years.
Upendra: At the moment of pregnancy? From the moment of pregnancy, one and a half years?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Pregnancy is understood at three months. From that month till further, sixteen months at least, she should not come to be near husband. That is eka-kadi[?].
