He strongly opposed the Gandhili’s views related to spiritual measures of population control i.e. celibacy/continence (Brahmacharya) and self restraint. Population problem can be solved with the help of scientific instruments and scientific methods of abortion, operation, etc.
Dr.A:"The present great struggle of life renders timely marriage impossible for many & so exposes them to assorted diseases & uses.Many women become invalid fr life & some even lose their spirits by the birth of children in their pathological condition or in too rapid succession"
Dr. Ambedkar advised that everybody should get married after he or she becomes financially able. According to him, marriage was a liability. Keeping in mind the problem of the population also, he advised that to have too many children was a crime.
