    What kind of karmas are bond if they don’t follow or control sendual thoughts snd how does it apply for the ones who are married

    In Jain Dharma, uncontrolled sensual thoughts and desire mainly bind _Mohaniya karma_ — especially _charitra-mohaniya_ (deluding karma that disturbs right conduct). Because of lust, attachment, and craving, one also attracts other pāpa karmas through mind, speech, and body.

    In simple words:

    If a person keeps indulging in sensual thoughts, then the bondage becomes stronger in these ways:
    • Mohaniya karma — delusion, attachment, passion, and lack of control
    • Punya or pāpa result depends on intent and restraint, but sensual attachment usually causes pāpa bondage
    • It also supports the bondage of other karmas because the soul becomes more restless and less disciplined

    For married people:

    In Jainism, marriage is not a license for uncontrolled desire. A married person is expected to live with:
    • fidelity
    • restraint
    • contentment
    • respect
    • limit in sensual enjoyment

    If a married person uses marriage only for sense pleasure and attachment, then karmic bondage still happens. If husband and wife live with dharma, self-control, and reduced passion, the bondage is much less.

    Important Jain principle:

    • Monks and nuns keep complete celibacy
    • Householders follow limited restraint
    • For householders, the goal is not indulgence, but control of desire

    So, the real issue is not only whether a person is married or unmarried — it is whether the mind is under control or under lust.

    If you want, I can also explain this in terms of specific karma categories in Jain karma theory, in simple language.
