Therefore, women were created to give man a facility to become attached as this is what he wants. Although everyone comes to this world in order to enjoy the opposite sex, without the physical presence of the opposite sex, there is less impetus to enjoy. Therefore women were created thus giving rise to attachments in this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
