Does the product of the marginal densities has some relation with the joint density?

Be specific, do we have $$f_X(x)f_Y(y) \geq f_{X,Y}(x,y)?$$ It is very easy to find a counterexample in the discrete case. So under the continuous case, and under what assumptions will we have this inequality?

Many thanks for any comment.
