    So would a married relationship between two men without any sexual contact be seen as okay?

    4 months ago 29

    From a traditional Jain perspective, a marriage between two men would not be recognized as a standard Jain marriage, because Jain household life historically understands marriage in the conventional man-woman form.

    However, Jain ethics strongly value self-restraint, purity of conduct, and non-harm. So if there is no sexual contact, the main concern of brahmacharya in the sense of avoiding sexual indulgence is not being violated.

    So the simplest Jain answer is:

    • As a marriage, it is not traditionally accepted in Jain dharma.
    • As a relationship with no sexual activity, it does not involve the same sexual fault that Jainism warns against.
    • The final moral judgment in Jainism depends on intent, restraint, conduct, and non-attachment.

    If you want the answer in terms of Digambar or Shwetambar understanding, I can give that too.
