Women empowerment - A cause for increasing divorce rate in India.
Favor
- Women empowerment stands for empowering women with legal and social rights, education, awareness about self and the world.
- Increase in numbers of divorce can be attributed in part to women empowerment since women being more aware of their legal rights would not mind walking out of a violent or unfulfilling relationship.
- As women become more independent financially, there is a lesser probability that a women stays in a relationship out of sheer necessity and obligation.
- On the other hand with women doing well as men if not better the traditional Indian male might find it difficult to have a more successful second half.
Against
- In past, males in India might be embarrassed to ask for divorces due to family pressures and guilt of leaving his wife and children without proper financial support.
- Laws have broadened definition of domestic violence to include not just physical, but mental and emotional abuses as grounds of divorce. These laws have contributed too many unilateral decisions to walk out of abusive relationships. Although these laws apply to both sexes, these were meant to be a step towards women empowerment.
- Influence of Western Culture. With globalization, increased communication and more issues breached on television, increased divorces may have been encouraged
- Lifestyle change: Increased work hours, inter-action between colleagues of opposite sex. These may also lead to divorces although not only from womens end... It would be interesting to note whether increased divorce rates are in cities only or villages also
Conclusion
- Women empowerment is not the only cause for the increase in the divorce rate. It is also the change in the social and family structure. Inclination to nuclear families, work pressure, lesser adjustment and a declining trust to the institution of marriage.

Point: women also have right to get quality education as well as to select the career of her own chice. women empowerment shouldn't be connected with increasing divorce rate. because now a days women come to know thier legal and social rights and they can raise their voice against misbehave or any kind of domestic violence happening with them.

Point: actualy the women empowerment is good thing but it does not mean that they will utilize their power in correct way. It is not the way that got empowered and chose to divorce. They should be aware about it.

Point: To Monty and RamBoys! you even would not have been able to be on the earth without women. So stop talking ill about them. In your childhood you grow in her lap, when you are young you sleep on her breast and when you become old you sit with her in your garden to pass your time.

Point: The attraction towards other women with whom men work is also a factor in increasing the divorce rate,Now they say behind every successful man there is a woman and behind her is another woman.Family counselling is required.People need to control their wild emotions and desires.Nothing is worth breaking a good family.

Point: Today women are present at every profession from a teacher to a president today's job are very demanding and stressful and these factors are effecting the lives of a woman because she has to handle her home as well. The quality of life is degrading because a working women is not able to spend quality time with her family which can be the reason for increasing divorcee rates.

Point: Hi SRK
No matter which nation/city/village/planet the people live. Woman is Woman and Man is Man. Man is looking for beauty and Woman is lookig for money. Dont Indians realise all Indian Women are looking for working men or wealthy/earning men. Tell me 10 women who is ready to marry a non-working men. So the common thinking is money here, doesnt matter NYC or Delhi or village. If a women in NYC looking for a sale of $500K a women in Delhi may be for 500K rupees and a villager 50K rupees. It all runs around money and living comfort. This is the way human lived for many 1000 years and will continue for ever. Girls wanted to marry king in those old days no matter they had 5 wifes. Those old days money was earned by physical work which was tough to do for women. Now mind work makes more money and women can make it who is called independent women. Dont we see the divorce in Indian IT women are the highest?!!. Why?. As long as a woman have money they dont need a man the asset they have beauty. Mans weakness is beauty and sex. Men work hard and want an enjoyment. Rest like LOVE, FAMILY, KIDS are created by society . Soceity I mean here is religion, government etc. Bottom line- Men must work and make money to support family. Women must make kids and cook to support the family. If this is agreeed in the marrage process then NO divorce!!.
Just visit any of the matrimonial site. you will find many educated women not willing to work but would want men in such and such salary bracket.
These ones just eek out a living in the rotten and sloppy service industry.

Point: As per data/facts the overall divorce rate in India over the years has been around 1%.
But in metropolitan cities like Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore/Chandigarh/Chennai etc it has been 7 % .
And in Metro cities/urban India in the last 5 years it has been more than 15%.
It is expected to increase to 25% in the next 3-5 years in urban India.
The primary reason is that men have not been able to change with the times.
India has been a male dominated society and men have always EXPLOITED women.
Earlier the women had no choice as she was dependent on the man for food/clothes etc
and did not want to be a burden on her parents.
Now that women are financially independent why should they be treated like slaves?
They can now take their own decisions.
It is God's way of punishing these devilish husbands and divorce them.
They still want to marry beautiful/hot/professional women and then expect them to do daily house hold work. The men themselves want to roam around the world (onsite/etc)/client visits etc and expect their counter part women to stay at home and cook food.
This is unfair .
All women should unite and divorce such useless ,worthless, sick minded, fickle minded husbands.
Divorce is definitely unpleasant but the only way for a woman to attain personal and professional freedom.Divorce in love marriages in the first year itself is very high(little less than 70% cases).
Come on girls!! If u r feeling upset about you marriage for more than 6 months then its time to look for another guy.
Believe me u will find lots of good guys who are single and willing to marry divorcee girls also provided the emotional bonding is strong.!!!
Being a divorcee girl is no longer a taboo in indian society.
Divorcee women are thought of as experienced , wise, mature and responsible women who were unlucky in their 1st marriage. Various marriage website's have been based on this concept only..
No need to fear.Come out and explore the world.
Never anything great has been achieved without enthusiasm.
Pls note:-Dont bow down to the husbands wishes nor get swayed away by his sweet talk.
If upset for more than 6 months then go for 'Divorce with mutual consent' .This is the best way to get divorce in less than 13(12+1) months of marriage.The earlier you get divorced the better for you.The earlier u can relax and start looking for better grooms and men.

As for religion, Hinduism never allowed men to ill-treat their wives.
So dont think that what will GOD think?
If a man ill treats his wife then believe me God will ensure that he gets divorced soon and does get a new wife untill he improves and promises not to repeat the mistakes he has done in the past .
For those men who don't improve..they are doomed.
Have faith in GOD and take the best decision based on the circumstances u r facing.
Best of Luck!!
