called unrestricted society. This life style devoid
of moral constraints has made it possible for men
and women to live together like the fish in the
sea. With such a life style, permissiveness is
unavoidable. One’s loyalties keep changing. In a
segregated society, where interaction between
men and women is almost non-existent, a man
associates only with his spouse, which keeps him
from forming new loyalties, while in a free
society he comes upon new faces every day, one

abandoning the old face in preference to the new
and more attractive one. What is happening in
the West is that the couple live together for some
