    Is same sex relationship ok

    3 months ago 52

    From a Jain perspective, the main values are ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), brahmacharya / self-restraint, and aparigraha (non-possessiveness).

    Jainism does not focus on condemning a person’s feelings or identity. What matters ethically is whether the relationship is:

    • respectful,
    • honest,
    • non-exploitative,
    • non-violent,
    • and practiced with self-control.

    For lay followers, Jain tradition generally emphasizes sexual conduct within a disciplined, responsible household life. So the tradition is more focused on restraint and purity of conduct than on judging a person.

    So, in simple terms:

    • As a human relationship: Jainism would stress compassion and non-harm.
    • As a sexual/romantic relationship: the Jain ideal is self-control and ethical conduct.
    • Traditional Jain household ethics: generally expect disciplined relations within marriage.

    If you want the strict Jain answer in one line: Jainism asks you to act with ahimsa and self-restraint, not with hatred or harm.
