I like how you described it as a "societal tag", Niharikaa. In fact, you just reminded me of an incident from decades ago, when an acquaintance - from your country, actually - blurted out, in a moment of complete clarity despite his state of intoxication, "Guys, you realise that marriage is just a license to f*ck?!"

Remarkably clear-headed insight, considering he fell asleep in the toilet shortly after....
