Prabhupāda: The process is a woman is kept under protection always. There is no independence for woman. That is . . . still, in India it is going on. The father is obliged to find out a suitable husband for the daughter and give her in his charge. Then his responsibility finished. Until that, she is . . . he's responsible to take care of the daughter. Unmarried girls to remain always under the protection of the father.
Yogeśvara: But today there seem to be so few qualified husbands.
Woman Devotee: And fathers, too.
Prabhupāda: Because you do not train the boys to be qualified. You train them to become debauch. What can be done? You train them from brahmacārī, then they'll be responsible husbands. Both the girls and the boys should be trained up. Then they'll be responsible husband and wife and live peacefully. In their young days, if you give them freedom, they'll spoil. What can be done?
Viśvambhara: Give them what?
Bhagavān: Freedom.
Prabhupāda: Young, youthful days, if you give them full freedom, they'll be misguided and spoiled.
