The news paper "Examiner' published an interview with Rabindranath in the hotel on the subject " Marriage and Divorce" on 10th Oct. he said ;
" I consider marriage not merely a convenient or a mutual agreement, but something deep in human nature -- the expression of the very necessity of humanity." In his opinion, " the defects of the present system of marriage needs correction in the progress of time." His opinion about the divorce is, " the relations between Mother and child, brother and sister, though, are having blood relation still they possess freedom -- so it is difficult to give an opinion offhand as to the drawing of the line where divorce should come. All I can say is that divorce should become more and more elastic as society progresses."
