The recent news regarding the pron MMS scandal of two JNU students who used to stay at the Co-Ed hostel has left the prestigious institution in shock. A High Resolution video was made while they were making love in the hostel. It has been a great setback on the reputation of the University who has been known for its quality.Well, it has been argued by youth of this country that we are free to do what we want as we have crossed the age of 18 and no one has any kind of right to stop us from doing that. The matter here is not only of the scandal but also of the Co-Ed hostels which are present in various institutions throughout the country. 
It is very hard for someone to think of staying in Co-Ed in Indian Society not because they are not permitted to do so but because it is not yet accepted by the society. And when this kind of scams happens, it gives a chance to the persons who are already against it to protest against the validity of these hostels. It has been the mindset of the society that Co-Ed hostel are morally wrong as it would increase the cases of sex in these hostels. If you are a well aware person, they you can not deny this fact. The point is on what basis are these hostels been created ? It is very nice to be liberal but it doesn't been one can do the activities which considered to be morally wrong. Now, one can argue that morally wrong has no relation with the rights which one person has got after attaining the age of 18. Yes, in fact he is correct by saying that but it everything which is legal not necessarily be accepted by the society. 
Parents think a lot before sending their child to study at a far place. They are afraid of the wrong activities in which their child could get into, and this kind of news would make them more worried. Sex is not the matter in this case, because it is the personal choice of the individuals after attaining the age of 18 because most of you might be thinking of this article being against that. But that is not the case, it is their personal choice and persons above 18 years are considered to be matured enough for taking that decision, although it has also been criticized by the society. But what is the point I want to argue is that what is the need of these kind of hostels ? Don't college have enough space for constructing hostels. That can not be an excuse and these hostels should be avoided, although it is not possible to ban them because it would again be against certain rights. Rights must be accompanied by the responsibility. 
There was a similar issue to this which was made legally by the Bombay High Court i.e. Live-in Relationship, where two persons stay as a couple without being legally married to each other. And I think everyone must be aware as to how this decision was criticized by several persons and although, it has been made legal but the society has not accepted it and it would be hard for them to accept it in near future also. 
Everyone can have his viewpoint over this matter and it would be great if you can express it here.
