Menstruation is a result of overuse of sex. When a girl has her period for the first time she is terrified, she says that she is ill. That is a proof that it is not natural.
Although the practical dimension of the conversion of one member of a household to the Brahma Kumaris involves total separation, new forms of family life are worked out. One of my informations, who has not had sexual intercourse with her husband for nearly 20 years.
