With the progression of the age of Kali, people are becoming attached to

women. By the influence of the age of Kali, the women are always dressed in

an overly attractive fashion to victimize the minds of men. (extracted from

SB 1.17.24 purport)

 

I know that it is the nature of women to create trouble and discord between

friends. Indeed, women are so fickle and hard-hearted that when they become

obsessed with some desire, they give up all sense of morality. (Laksmana to

Sita, Ramayana, Aranya-kanda)

 

Apart from all other contamination, if one simply remains attached to a

woman, that single contamination will be sufficient to prolong one's

miserable material existence. Consequently, in Vedic civilization one is

trained from the beginning to give up attachment for women. The first stage

of life is brahmacari, the second stage grhastha, the third stage

vänaprastha, and the fourth stage sannyäsa. All these stages are devised to

enable one to detach himself from the association of women.============ REF.

SB 4.28.27

 

(In Kali yuga) The brahmacaris are so only because they cannot marry.
