[Prabhupada: "This is the psychology. If a
woman is chaste, even though she is not very
beautiful, she will be liked by the husband. So
train them in that way: very chaste, faithful
wife who knows how to cook very nicely.
Other qualifications, even they haven't got,
that's all right." (Morning walk conversation 7-10-75)] |

["When woman is in full youth, even she is like a dog, she is beautiful 'Yauvana kukuri sundari'.
It is by nature's arrangement the woman is given
one chance at the time of youthfulness.
Otherwise, how she will be given protection by a
man? They require protection. If somebody is
not attracted, then how she gets protection?
This is natural." (Morning walk conversation 1-27-76)] |

["But she remained at her father's house, but she must know that I am married. I have got husband. This is the psychology. Then she becomes very
chaste. Because she thinks of her husband and
becomes more and more devoted." (Bg Lecture 7-28-73)] |

[Prabhupada: "Whatever your father and mother
has chosen, that's all. He's your worshipable
husband. So you cannot change. I have seen. My father's friend, he was a very old man. He was
at that time not less than sixty-five. But, his
wife died, and he was married with another young
girl who's sister forced her to marry him. She
told her sister that 'Unless you marry, who will
look after you? You have no children.'. But, I
have seen that young woman who was married with
that gentleman. In our childhood we used to call her 'deedee'. Deedee means elder sister. So the relationship was thick and thin. But that old
man was not less than sixty-five, and that young
woman, at most twenty to twenty-five. She was
serving the husband like anything. We have seen
it. There is no question of changing, being
dissatisfied." (Room conversation 9-9-76)] |

[Radha-vallabha: "Is there a minimum age for the man?"
Prabhupada: "No, Minimum age means generally the husband must be older than the wife. At least a five year difference." Radha-vallabha: "What is the most amount of years they can be different? What is the maximum amount of years there can be difference?" Prabhupada: "Man has no maximum. Even an eighty years old man can marry a sixteen year old girl." (Room conversation 2-27-77)] |
