If a child wants to get something from his father all he/she has to do is to say to him ” Dad, I know your secret!” Similarly he extract his/her reward from his/her mother. God save the child if this trick is tried on an ‘uncle’. The chances are that the secret will be out and the child will come to know who is his/her real father.
These days both the partners in a marriage are bold enough not to let a chance to enjoy sex outside marriage go by. In fact earlier also it was so, but with more %age of both partners working, the chances come to both of them easily and both having feelings of greater decree of independence, do not hesitate to dismiss their conscience and think of exercising ‘my choice’ , when ever a reasonable degree of secrecy is assured.
With topics like marital rapes under hot discussion these days, times are not far off when marriage may simply mean just living together.
So the children better be taught not to start exploring the secrets of their parents.
