You have to make it public, that “I am going to have garbhadhana-samskara.” It is not a secret thing. It is a ceremony. And then, when she is pregnant, no more sex. No more sex means so long the child is there, ten months, and unless the child is grown up at least six months, no sex. That means once you have sex and then abstain for sixteen months. You know what is that dharma? So who is such a foolish man that for once having sex and then abstaining…? Therefore those who could not abstain, they used to keep many wives.
