Re: Premarital sex-- immoral?
I don't think that premarital sex is intrinsically inmoral. One of the reasons behind marriage is to elevate relations between a man and a woman to a status higher than that of free will among animals.
It is not inmoral the case where premarital sex is practised by a couple with a healthy established relation, in principle. But being realistic, a loose view on such issues has led modern society to lower premarital sex to the levels of animals free will.
