Every divorce case is different. We can't generalize with the name of 'women empowerment'. It is in any case very painful for both men/women. As now men/women know there is a way to get separated easily and start another life, and we are going towards more educated and acceptable society, may be divorce rate are increasing.

It depends on person to person. Some people can adjust to working woman, while others cannot. Sometimes men expect women to take care of ill parents and children and other households. Some woman can handle both while some are egoistic and career oriented. If woman fails to perform her duty, it leads to divorce in some cases. But many working women are very nice and caring.

As my point of view some time it is depend on woman and some time it is depend on man and some time both are equally responsible for increasing divorce rate because they don't understand each other. It is depend on thinking of man and woman how they are think about each other. If they are good thinking about each other then there is no divorce between man and woman. At that time woman are free to do any kind of work and they are well educated and they also manage her family. Both man and woman are human. Both are give same permit to do such type of work. Both are give respect to each other. Then India will grow up.

Well. There are so many things that can be said about Women empowerment. Obviously it is a good thing and a good sign for the nation in totality but all my dear friends speaking their minds up there. You should evaluate both the sides of the coin before arriving to any conclusion because we cannot afford to be irrational on this particular subject. Lets evaluate. Women Empowerment means. 1. Women getting to know about their rights and raising their voice to a firm NO " IF" they are genuinely being mistreated. 2. Women Empowerment means that Women have the equal right to education, jobs, Independence on the pretext of bringing equality to this Nation " INDIA". 3. Women Empowerment means that the women of the nation be given equal respect and equal rights when it comes to their financial development, Job Security etc. 4. Women empowerment means that the women walks hand to hand and at par with the man and need not fear anything from criminal minded men who have the bloody audacity to treat them the way they want. 5. Women empowerment means raising a voice against the injustice at the hands of the inhumane man who genuinely subjects her to mental and physical torture / trauma. BUT BUT BUT. Is this really where we are actually heading to. Think again fellas. Women Empowerment does not mean :. 1. Women taking undue advantage of the LAW which have been Framed to protect them. This major out break where the women have started to misuse the LAWS has put this INDIAN nation on a tremendous back foot to which many International Organizations like WHO etc have - for all matter - given their acknowledgment. 2. Women Empowerment does not mean that they can treat the genuinely innocent MAN the way they want. It definitely does not mean hostility towards the other sex. 3. It definitely does not mean trying to chop of the hand which has been supportive of them whereas the latter means walking hand in hand with the male counterpart. 4. It really does not mean threatening and extorting money from an innocent family who have only tried to make the daughter in law feel at home. 5. Just because the damn LAW favors them a woman should not be entitled to take guise under it and harass innocent families or for that matter. MALES. I can just go on and on and on. The truth is in fact otherwise. The benefits of Women Empowerment are far less as compared to the latter's misuse. Its not the Women Empowerment which is leading to Divorces. But the misuse of the same. Why do females do it. I fail to understand. The Women Empowerment have for all matter. Made the Woman more self Dependent and INTOLERANT. The moment a marriage gets sour on the pretext of in comparability and various other reasons (Not Covered under the LAW). No attempts are made to improve the situation. BUT BULLETS ARE FIRED from the well known battle ship called " 498A". AM not a Feminist or an Anti Feminist. Neither do I favor the girl nor the boy. I favor Justice and strict penalties should be imposed towards the defaulter be it the girl or the boy. If a boy it genuinely at fault. Penalize him. If the girl is at fault, Penalize her. Folks, the rise in no of Matrimonial disputes is certainly disrupting the balance of the nation. Do your bit to reduce it. My dear future would be Daughter in LAWS. Don't tolerate injustice. Raise your voice if genuinely you are being harassed for Dowry and are being mistreated on the account of it. Be more tolerant and be more adjusting because the culture of your matrimonial home shall be different from your maternal home. Boys. Make the new member of the family feel at home. Be Welcoming. LOVE HER. And yes. If you think you don't have to make any adjustments. Think again. Its your responsibility to take care of her. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Sort things amicably both of you. Respect thy Elders. And girls. Your new Home is the place where you intend to spend the rest of your life. Maintain the equilibrium and for god's sake. Please please please. Never take guise under the dreaded LAWS, cause once you do it. You can't return to mend your marriage. YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY. India is already plagued and paralyzed with terrorism, Corruption, Inflation, Hostile neighboring countries, Malnutrition etc. Please do not let 498A be an out break of another epidemic which will only make the commoner and the innocent men in a compelling position to pick up arms. Its already started. Lets be reasonable. PEACE.

I don't agree that divorce rates are increasing due to women empowerment. Women empowerment is basically making a woman aware of her rights. It gives her equal rights equivalent to her male counterpart. It makes woman at par with men. It educates a woman and makes her realize her importance in the society. It raises a women's self confidence and makes her believe in herself that she is no less than men. Its got nothing to do with the increased number of divorces. A divorce is caused due to lack of understanding, love and trust between the partners. If there is substantial amount of trust between a couple then there will never be any misunderstanding. Women might have become modern but they still long for a happy marriage and children. Hence they will never let go a marriage futile just like that.

In words of Swami Vivekananda "The can be no development of the society unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly with one wing". Thus it is imperative to educate women about there social and legal rights. Women empowerment has lead to overall increase in the education and development of women across various section of the society. However, it would be extremely wrong to say that women empowerment has any negative impact of the institution of marriage. Though, overall the percentage of working women has increase substantially, I do not feel it has caused women to be more egoistic or stubborn. Women have the same right as men to be self-reliant and independent. According to me, the main cause for such the increasing rate of divorces is the weakening value systems of our society. The family units size is getting smaller in number. There are no elders to guide or console the couples in case they hit a rough patch in there relationship. Further, individuals both men and women alike are loosing patience and tolerance. With the increase exposure to western culture the idea of getting divorced is getting too generalized. So there is a need to increase our efforts to maintain understanding between partners as in any other relation such as siblings or parents and children. We in no way can question the positive impact of women empowerment on society and blame it for the increasing rates of divorces.

I think women empowerment may not be the only cause but surely is one of the reasons. No one in the society want to think that women empowerment means women should be given their rights and respect. Women empowerment always meant that women should get education, job and salary which brings her respect. If in a family, if the husband leaves his ego when it comes to wife, respects her and consults her for all the problems and decisions he face and the wife does the same thing towards her husband, then in that family women empowerment doesn't have any meaning. Because both are giving respect to each other and that's what basically women empowerment means. I do feel that the job which the women gets will sow a seed of ego in her heart. The job also makes her feel independent and in some women this independence may lead them to a wrong notion that she can live without her husband. This may lead to divorce. That couple who understands each other, solve any problems among themselves will lead them to a successful life and it doesn't depend on whether that men or women has a job or not.

This topic should be seen by the positive aspect. It is not just that the women's are now more aware of their rights, this is the sole reason for increment in divorce rates. Earlier women's used to bear a lot of thing morally, socially, Physically, without saying a word. But now the scenario has changed, by many campaigns, social media, social awareness now the women's are more awarded, started raising their voices- which should be. So if it is resulting in increasing of divorce cases it should not the matter of concern. There is a need for a behavioral change towards women from the man's side. There is a need to understand the feelings and emotions of Women, they should not be treated as a machine, rather they are the HOME MAKERS. Women's makes the future of children by inculcating the true values and ethics in them. For children their Parents are their first Mentor.

Women empowerment is definitely not the root cause behind the increasing rate of divorces in the country. What women empowerment does is, it just aware women about their rights and what they are worth. It provides them with equal rights which men use to enjoy alone. And speaking of increasing divorce rate, its all about the mutual understanding between a couple. If a person doesn't respect the views of his/her partner then its quite obvious that there will be problems in their relation. Only women are not responsible for it men are equally countable.

Women empowerment is not responsible for increase in divorce. In old India gals/women's avoiding divorce because no family support and no economical support. Nowadays things are changing in India, most of girls (mostly in city areas) have strong family support. They don't feel alone. They are self-dependent.

Well I think divorce rates are increasing after women empowerment came because women have started understanding there rights and now they have understood there values and started saying NO to all the sufferings men given them in the name of marriage. Before women empowerment women were been considered as the weaker sex have no human value, and been equally treated as pets and married women were the fair example. Even though women were educated, going to work, take good care of children single handed, cleaning the house, making three to 5 course meals everyday without fail (no sick leaves) and without getting any attention from her spouse. The more women serve there partner the more they were considered as animals, with no respect at all. Therefore when this women empowerment came into picture women started getting the voice. Who were actually need to be respected for doing such kind of sacrifices for the entire family shall not be treated like that. All the hypocrites men above why don't they feel happy about the empowerment because there daughter, sisters are also going to get the benefit. Because here comes the law of nature made by the MCPs women are weak so how can they tolerate by seeing them getting equal. This law is made to give equal share to the women that men were enjoying alone before. So grow up guys. Time is changing.

Women must be given education, allowed to work but only as supportive to the family but not to satisfy their egoistic aspirations. I think there is a limit to women empowerment after which it becomes detrimental to the very fabric of society i.e.family unit. A good old traditional family is needed but with enough respect for women, their needs and well being. Our society is undergoing the same societal transformation which the western societies have undergone because of modernization. And those brainy westerners are now scratching their heads for a solution for breakdown of family unit in their nations. Individual is important but much more important is society and the healthy perpetuation of our species. Let us become modern in our own Indian way. Let us be original at least in this and blindly ape the westerners.

Hello. According to me "women empowerment" is not cause of increasing divorces now days but women education is develop our society and our county. Women manage their families as well as their works. Women's are not only responsible for divorces, men's are also equally responsible for increasing divorces in our society. Divorces only happens when two of doesn't understand each other and they doesn't give respect each other.

Indian society is male dominant and feudalistic, where women are not only looked down upon, but also widely discriminated against. Women are denied basic social and domestic rights due to gender bias. Many women are illiterate, underprivileged, exploited sexually and otherwise treated in an unfair manner due to an orthodox mindset. There were 927 females to every 1000 males in India as per the 1992 census. The ratio was 972 to 1000 in 1901. This suggests that gender bias and female infanticide has only been growing in the society. While the preference for a son over a daughter is well known, killing of female fetus in the womb is an extremely horrifying practice that still continues. In India there is a rape every 54 minutes, a molestation every 26 minutes, an act of cruelty every 33 minutes, and a dowry death every hour. Every year 75000 women die due to unsafe abortions. Empowerment of women in the real sense is the need of the hour. It is the high time that women are allowed into the political mainstream. If the women are given their due status in personal, family and social spheres, it would be a positive step benefiting all sections of society. In order to empower women, they should have reservation of seats in educational institutions, employment and services. The empowerment of women and real social development are inter-related. No country can progress so long as the women of the nation remain illiterate.

I think divorce rate is increasing because women are increasingly becoming less dependent on men not only for money, but also for emotional needs. Earlier men used to make all household decisions for women. Women only used to manage those decisions/ actions. Since dependence on men is decreasing, women no longer feel the need for men. They have learned to make their own decisions and manage them now.

I believe that women empowerment has been tremendously instrumental in bringing awareness of rights and opportunities to women. As the sense of high self-esteem has grown stronger, the today's women are not ready to suffer and compromise with the marriage that is based on male's superior role. Due to the increasing presence of the women on civil, political, professional and social platforms, they can no more stick to their traditional role as a homemaker or give more time to it. The result is dissatisfaction of both the spouses. The husbands emphasize on her duties whereas the wives wants to reach out. The wife who is educationally sound and financially well off, does not see the requirement of clinging on to the troubled marriage. The husband cannot see more beyond his male ego or equally participate in household responsibilities. And so, I guess people turn to divorce as easy option to put an end to their continuous worries. While the goal of women empowerment aims at equality of status and opportunities to women, the patriarchal social set is lagging far behind to understand the objective behind it. Hope to have this gap reduced in near future.

This is what it comes down to :. As women empowerment increase, women expectations from a marriage will increase as well. As expectations increase, it will be harder for men to fulfill their needs and please them. Women will be more and more the chooser in a relationship. Also, because women will have the upper hand as they get more empowered, they will also have more control over whether they want to divorce or not. And most likely they will want to divorce more as men will have a harder time fulfilling their expectations. More divorce leads to more expenses from the men's side as there is still a double standard especially in Asian culture. Even though women want all the empowerment, men are still expected to pay for the house, car, wedding, etc. Women usually come into the marriage with nothing. As expenses from the men increase over divorces, men will shun this marriage institution and will seek their mate based on a dollar worth value. This leads to prostitution. Men will seek short term relationship that minimizes potential financial damage in the long run. As prostitution thrives, women from poorer less empowered countries will supply the demand. The question becomes, which is faster? Empowerment or Prostitution? In the long run, assuming ALL women become empowered, men must advance technology to make women robots that is a perfect replica of a human female. Then we will no longer need female. We will stop procreating, men will just have sex with robots. Likewise women will have sex with robots. Procreation stops, we all perish. So, conclusion, don't empower women.

Men always have a domineering nature and when they see that women stepping out of the door and earning equivalent or more than him then there come the things like jealousy and egoism and eventually shatter their relationship.. And women also feel that after doing all the domestic work and also contributing her earning to the family why she should be humiliated on the contrary she must be respected..and at last due to all egoism, suspiciousness and not proper harmony between the two there lies just one fact and that is DIVORCE....

Women have always been for the family, whether educated or illiterate, she always strives hard for the betterment of her family, either before or after marriage. Empowerment would only add more to her contribution. It is infact the perception that makes all the difference. Though men talk about the liberation of women, women being educated and earning, the male ego never allows them to accept women being superior. They want the woman to work and earn for the family, but when it comes to domestic chores, they term it as woman's job. There is no help from man. The modern woman has to perform many more roles at home and at work place. She will be happy to give her everything for the family, all that she wants back is only a word of support. I feel that women empowerment can never be a cause of divorce. It is the communication and mutual respect that strengthens any relation. Man and woman can live in harmony and work for better society.

Hello friends in my perception Women Empowerment - A Cause for. Increasing Divorce Rate in India is totally wrong and false saying. Women are the most important part of this society and for divorce always women are not respobsible. If a woman is educated than he understand the feelings of her family and her husband she can easily understand all the things compared to one who is illitrate. Whenever we see quarrel in the family of anyone there is the little thing which can't understand by the one who illiterate an educated or understanding woman also give something to her family for learn. And she is not the reason for divorce so empowerment of woman is necessary. Divorce is also there between uneducated woman. The reason for divorce is not the education because some things which ano educated woman can understand only.

Most men have always liked to be the ruling force in the house and the office. Women empowerment gives women something to think about themselves and launch themselves into different fields ranging from politics, sports, entrepreneur. Men have a problem because they can not stand women at an equal footing. I think women should be encouraged to take up as much responsibility towards the society as some of the arrogant men, and indeed more. Regarding divorce, would the situation be any different if the roles were reversed, men were subdued and women were in power through the ages? I think not.

I would say that there is no patience in this generation to tolerate there own spouse. Each & every couple fight / argue. Don't own siblings fight / argue. Every time do we separate from our siblings no right. Still there is a relation & in sad /happy times we meet greet each other. Because there is no such thing called as divorce among siblings. So it is just that we are angry with each other & don't want to talk to each other for sometime. This time is not defined. It can be days/ month / years. As the time passes by and when we cross each others road we talk to each other. Till now I am speaking about siblings. Now coming to relation between partners. When there is a fight / argument. The couples don't have patience to tolerate each other. Now lets find the reason why they don't have patience to tolerate, Because both of them are earning and financially independent. Since financial security is very important. And now that they are financially secured / independent. Spouses take a decision, lets get divorced. And they get divorced. Not this is documented in the government and they are legally divorced. In future when they cross each others road, they cannot talk to each other and be one again. Second point. 50 years back. Women were not working they were financially dependent and there were family values hence there were less number of divorces. Now because of these mobile phone. Even if the couple have a small argument in late night. Women communicates with her family members immediately on mobile phone & she has her family to take her back to her within minutes. If these phones were not there. I am sure, there would be at-least little time for the couple to calm down, think and take a decision. Once the women steps out of the house. Man feels that he is not been respected and become more angry and it results in divorce. Instead of the situation coming in control, it goes out of control. Hence divorce rate is increasing. I would say these are the negative point of a working women and the mobile phones. But again, we require working women for the family to be financially stable and give good education to children. Then what is the problem? I think problem is our patience / tolerance level. We need to learn to tolerate. Not take decisions immediately. That doesn't mean that you try for 5 to 6 years and give up & get divorced. You should try and try again to maintain / retain / save your marriage at-least for children sake.

Now a days Divorce is nothing but result of unsuccessful relationship of husbands and wives which is occur due to lack of trust. Faith, respect and mutual understanding between them. Sometime when expectation are not fulfilled and one is not ready to sacrifice it turns into unwanted situation like divorce. Women empowerment make women more independent and financial sound. Divorce is not a result of women empowerment, but lack of mutual understanding between the couple. Women play such a important role which men can not compete.

I strongly oppose this kind of matter how one can blame to women, men are equally responsible for this. Men always like to be the masters and if his wife is getting more importance than him then he gets frustrated and jealous. Today in this world of socialization women are active in their respective fields and they are not dependent on anybody else for their livelihood. A Woman plays many roles in her life, she is a caring mother, wife, daughter etc. Still men expect a lot from them. At the end everything depends on understanding each other, caring for each other, giving time and respecting each others. Women empowerment is necessary and will continue. That's all I want to say.

Its depend on mentality of both man and woman. There should be a combination. There is come problem of ego. They don't want listen each other. There is misunderstanding between them. They have bad manner. They don't belong to good family. Women empowerment is good thing but should be limitation. This is the democracy country women are also having her right. Now it become a modern India everything is possible in now a days. If we get a married we should know she is coming in our home. She has her right. We can't torture her. If we do this we are fool.

Men are born stronger they do all the hard work outside, earn money no one realizes how a man earns the money for his family, protects the family. With empowerment of women work n they expect their husbands to work at home also if not spend money and make sure wife doesn't have the pain to do basic work at home. I appreciate both helping each other at home but not only husband doing all work even at home. If husband's parents come to visit their son and daughter in law problem starts if husband's parents don't go away then sue them with "false Dowry cases" or other "women biased laws" of India. And worse mother in law of husband they create more problems and make their own laws in the name of Empowerment. Bottom line is Evolution made men stronger to do all outside work protect his family if a man does all such work whose work is to take care of family? Is it Man's fault that he is stronger than women? I do agree women must be given freedom but women also must understand that a men must be respected also. Clashes will happen more with empowerment of women in the future as govt is trying to change the evolution.

To say that women empowerment is a cause for divorce itself is utter nonsense. Even in this juncture women are being blamed for the increased rates in divorce! so Lame! Couples generally go for divorce when they had enough of each other's complexes and tantrums and to blame it on the female population is simply wrong. I believe that people should be free to live his/her life without being judged by others. Women has low self esteem compared to men. Women empowerment will boost it and they could be more useful to society once they see their hidden potentials. In our society, marriage is seriously "overrated" and divorce is condemned. And when a girl take such a step as ending a marriage it's like world war III. Such an attitude should be avoided by the coming generations at-least. Women empowerment is not about getting away from husbands by divorces or getting a job or feminism, it's about standing for oneself; fighting for what you believe in and having the strength to follow your dreams. That's women empowerment for me and I hope some day everyone would see it that way.

Without knowing the right principles, rules, guidelines one can not lead the life in correct way. To live the life happily one should follow the rules posed by Hindhu Dharma- What is written in Vedas, Itihasa, Puranas. To achieve great success in career one should follow the rules of Organization- what is written in your business conduct guidelines, policies. As per our Hindhu Dharma, A man should work hard and earn money, A woman should be a good home maker, Look after kids, Elders, Parents thus should be role model in society. But the whole Scenario is changed just because of some few bad males done bad to some good females. The rules have been ignored and the rules have been violated and kept aside. I agree, Woman were suppressed by Men but not all in the case. Just for the sake of such few Men why the Whole Dharma/Rules have been ignored ? and transformed ? If you have a diseased hand then cut the hand don't die yourself by putting whole body in fire. This is what happened and happening now. Some people started freedom fight stating "woman needs freedom" but the actual statement should be. Not all woman needs freedom. The only affected woman needs freedom. That is the reality.

We can not say women empowerment is a cause behind increasing rates of divorce. Increasing rate of divorce is nothing but the result of lack of mutual understanding between husband and wife, lack of positive support to woman's progress and achievements in her field of career etc. Empowerment of women provides an overall development of a woman in the field of education, self-grooming, choice of career, caring her children and family etc. Empowerment in all these fields is actually making a woman become more capable of doing each and everything that one man could do. Only the problem is that many of the times, men's possessiveness, their dark shaded thoughts with full of jealous are making women to feel that "no, I'm the one who is responsible for everything!".

Women Empowerment is not the reason for divorce. Its due to lack of love, misunderstanding, not spending enough time with the family, lack of maturity, not recognizing the responsibility and their ignorance in understanding that for family -LOVE is spelled as TIME. Enough time they spend for family, it grows. Where you invest time, it grows. If love cannot, nothing else can change the world.

In my opinion this is not at all true that due to the empowerment of women the divorce rate in India has increased. Women are needed to be empowered to make themselves psychologically and mentally strong. Earlier when the women were not empowered they were subjected to abusive languages and domestic violence by their husbands and because of the condition of our society a woman was not even able to stand for herself. For example 4 days ago a reality show named Satyamev Jayete an Amir Khan show gave us a look of a MALE DOMINATED society. In such a condition the woman is not even able to present her point of views to her in-laws or her husband and is not even able to save her child who has not even taken a step in this world. But in the same show a well-educated woman who had the same problem is able to solve this problem by leaving her husband and going to her parent's house. It was very important to empower woman because if it was no done then the male would use her for removing all his frustration on her. If the empowerment of women has led to an increase in divorce rate then it has also led to a decrease in domestic violence.

Where you live together, help together and grow together with incredible love. It's like two best friends living with eachother. It's not about the gender or it's not about the women empowerment. It's about some sadistic husbands or sadistic wives causing divorce. And because of some people who are not able to bare the development of women, our country is still not becoming a developed country.

I think women empowerment isn't the only factor which has increased the divorce rates. Other factor is the issue of equality. Nowadays women are at an equal level with men in the professional arena. Hence in a marriage, A woman demands equal status as that of her husband. Its her right. Marriage is an institution in which neither the husband nor the wife is at a higher position or a lower position. They are at an equal position. But since primitive stage, men have dominated women. This is mainly due to the inequality quotient. Earlier women didn't have much power but now education and empowerment have completely reversed the situation. Women have become more independent and esteemed and what's wrong in that? Also it takes two to tango, so men are also equally responsible for the increasing divorce rates. I agree with Amrita, women empowerment has a role to play in divorce, but in an optimistic way. Women now no longer fall prey to domestic violence.

My point focus more on askin why one must consider divorce to be a bad thing? Divorce can also be treated as a method of avoiding domestic violence and further complications, hence leaving both man and wife in peace. Example a couple who suffers from each others' abuses and tantrums everyday is better off without each other by taking divorce. Moreover, no man or wife would ever think of divorce unless he/she reaches the threshold point which kicks in after utmost endurance and patience!. Women empowerment has a role to play in divorce, but in an optimistic way. It gives women to take the stance of divorce and fills in them the confidence to face life. It frees them from the very thought of enduring domestic violence from a man just because they don't have means of living !

Women have to go through certain rules made by men and if she crosses the limit like- 1. Going for doing job 2. Solving social problems 3. Participating in Sports. We can't saw her success, if she is earning more money than men then it is going to be a big matter for our concern and it is going to have home violence and all.

At the start of civilization men are rulers women are followers. But things are not as before. Due to awareness and education women have changed their domain. Maore number of them are coming into the limelight. So there is a transitional shift of their status which is not accepted by the Men domain. Every transition is followed by conflicts. India got its independence through conflict, Midle east countries are coming out of the autocracy by some conflict. Men are jealous about women as long as the transitional period exists. The transition comprises of change of mindset of men toward women and increasing number of women coming to the forefront. With rime it will pass away and a day will definitely come when the transition period will comlete and men will see women as their peers not their followers.

Women Empowerment is the one of opportunities given to women to show talents beyond the limits of just home making. Government made reservation rule in every public sectors some 50-60 years ago after independence and further it was adapted by certain private sector infrastructures. The whole Idea behind this was to make women equivalent and cooperative in every sector from business to politics so that India should be better place to live. Earlier men were dominating and they didn't use to allow women to go out and work. And in those days it was required that much also bcause noone really knows that women can do other things better than just making home. In the present era, woman knows her power and in every field she is equivalent to man. Sometimes she becomes too dominative to understand her partners problem. On the other hand man also becomes egoist to understand the position of his spouse. With this there are some people in Indian society who are educated but they still don't allow their spouses to work. In this scenario, if woman is passionate about her work and if she wants to work after marriage, it will give rise to quarrelsome situation which ultimately can lead to divorce rates. So I want to draw attention to the point that it has nothing to do with women empowerment, it is the mentality of the people and how are they going to handle the situation.

Women empowerment leads to divorces in least cases. Mostly women make a family happy. Without them a family can not run systematically. She is the one who understands everyone's needs and does her best to fulfill them. In most cases men are the ones who are responsible for divorces. They tend to misunderstand every aspect of a awoman's behaviour and take it in a different way. It rarely happens that a woman turns out to be a whamp and wants to destroy the family.

Hi friends. In my view women empowerment is an essential one. We can see that a woman with no education is treated as servant now a days. If woman is educated she works and stands like a wall for her family. No men is now getting married to a uneducated girl without expecting dowry. Ofcourse, educated woman is also asked for dowry but if anything happens wrong in her family after marriage she can lead her life with her own knowledge whereas in case of uneducated she have to again depend on her parents. As long as men are good understanding no cause will work towards divorce. So, I think its not an individual is problem but its a couple will be the reason for divorce.

She act a lot of roles like daughter for her parent, wife for husband, mother for children. So when you empower a woman you empower a family. I am not agreed with empowerment increasing divorce because its happens misunderstanding of each-other. So woman empowerment creates a healthy family as well as a healthy society.

This post is directed at "Nikita". She talks about our "ego" but as you can clearly ascertain from reading her post, she is anything but humble. It's rather ignorant for her to assume that "it's only a woman that can make a family happy and keep it happy. " If nature agreed with her, we would have no part in the family aspect. Furthermore, history proves how incorrect she is. If you look at the strength of the families in ancient pre-imperial Rome both the father and mother worked together as a team, knew their roles and did them well. This dedication to eachother carries over to their children and thusly a tradition is born. That is why most Italian families to this day have strong family bonds. Marriage & family just cannot work anymore. Women have attained power through their movement however they, collectively, cannot use that power responsibly. The problem is not that they have power but rather how they wield it. They use it vengefully, maliciously, with the intent to berate their husbands & men in general. Im supremely confident in the fact that this will certainly backfire on women & they will not be able to blame us this time for their failure. We must be patient, their ego will be shattered soon enough and when that happens I am sure we can begin the rebirth of the family aspect once again because it takes 2, a man & woman working together as a cohesive unit. Unfortunately, women believe that we only desired them for selfish means & saw them as property but that just isn't completely true. The feminist movement has brainwashed women into thinking the worst of us, amazingly, w/o enough evidence. In the world of Mike Douglas, "The mother of all evil is "speculation". " We are not considered equal to women anymore and because we refuse to accept it, they continue their malicious conquest destroying families in their wake. It's not until after the catacylsm will they look and say, "What have we done?" Women, I love you but I hate you for what you're doing to men, children and to yourselves. You won't listen, I can't "slap" sense into you although I sure feel like it sometimes. However, I will leave you with these words of wisdom. You have built your foundation on sand not solid rock & I promise you, your "house of cards" will come crashing down & when that happens, we'll be here waiting for you to return with open arms. When that day comes with can wipe the slate clean and begin anew. With great power comes great responsibility & that responsibility is what you refuse to accept. It's time to let go of your hatred.

But the main reasons behind the divorce are as under ; 1. women empowerment changed the equations of our society and brought misunderstanding between couples and lack of interaction because of lack of time multiplied it. and finnaly misnderstanding concluding to divorce. 2. nuclear family fashion is also a root cause as earlier if hus and wife were having some problem there were enough oldies to solve that but no one now a days. 3. western life style and lack of moral and values and sense of responsibilities leading towards. 4. passion for glamours and high profile life style. 5. social evils like dowry.

I believe that women empowerment has been tremondously instrumental in bringing awareness of rights and opportunities to women. As the sense of high self-esteem has grown stronger, the today's women are not ready to suffer and compromise with the marriage that is based on male's superior role. Due to the increasing presence of the women on civil, political, professional and social platforms, they can no more stick to their traditional role as a homemaker or give more time to it. The result is dissatisfaction of both the spouses. The husbands emphasize on her duties whereas the wives wants to reach out. The wife who is educationally sound and financially well off, does not see the requirement of clinging on to the troubled marriage. The husband cannot see more beyond his male ego or equally participate in household responsibilities. And so, I guess people turn to divorce as easy option to put an end to their continuous worries. While the goal of women empowerment aims at equality of status and opportunities to women, the patriachal social set is lagging far behind to understand the objective behind it. Hope to have this gap reduced in near future.

In my view, I don't think that women empowerment cause to divorce because now-a-days most of the women are working, only some of them are taking divorce. The main reason is that the old people (parents of men or women) are living in orphanage so that, if any misunderstanding is done between men and women they can't be stopped. The person who is working, think that "after coming to home, there should be a person to take care of them". But in these days both wife and husband are going to office. So, there is no time to understand and share feelings of each other. Certainly there will be ego to the women when she is working because she thinks that she is also earning money, but this attitude comes to the women after seeing the authority of the men in home. So, women empowerment doesn't cause in increase of divorce rate in India.

Who ever commented above, may be they have not faced the actual situation & the reasons/ cause for divorce. But I am going through it in my life. "women empowerment" does not mean that, she need to claim or force her husband for equality when marriage relationship is involved in it. Yes there are many examples where woman has been harrased, abused & treated like "taken as granted", but not in most of the cases. Don't compare Indian living methods with westren, where there is no importance for sentiments, emotions, bondings. When it comes to WIFE, the relation is not something like compromising or providing a space. We have history of thousands years where wife has dedicated her entire life for her husband happiness. But this is not something we are expecting now, Mens needs time to CHANGE to act accordingly. We still behave like a pure Indian traditional husbands, where we have lot of possesiveness about our wife, their dressings, their social relationship, their bonding with the elders in the family & their commitment in the relationship. But this is not happening. All they shout is they have to be trated equally, and all irrelavent claims. Ultimately they are the sufferers in case of DIVORCE, which will be realised only after 3 years of break up, so WAKE UP.

Women are becoming aware about their rights and more sociable. In each and every aspect women are leading our country and acquired good reputation. Women are becoming more financially stable and concious about their careers. Its only the lack of mutual understanding, family problems, freedom concerns, conservatism and stereotyping leads to increase in divorce. Prior to 90s our country was a male dominated country where the women are are tortured, harassed and underestimated. Males are finds its hard enough to accept this change and changing roles of women in our society. Its only the problems form both sides. Women as well as men have not yet understand this change.

The idea of the empowerment of women should not creep into the idea of marriage. Obviously women empowerment is a good thing, nobody want half our enormous work-force not being wasted. Making women work makes the country grow faster. Empowered women see that they are financially stable and see that they don't need their husbands with them, this is just an opportunity. I think this has done very little to increase divorce rates though. If you are a divorcee, you're a failure. You are pathetic because you went the easy way out. You weren't patient and did not to solve your problems in the marriage.If your husbands a drunk or if you can't take your nagging wife, it's your job to settle things.If you can't do that, CLEARLY you shouldn't be trusted in the harder tasks of handling children. Over that nobody wants to marry a divorcee, people don't mind marrying a widow/widower. A divorce was actually adapted the idea from the west to tend to extreme cases, but bringing weak grounds and asking for a divorce in the court truly makes you look like a fool.The Indian courts generally waits a while and never gives out divorces instantly to make them think about their decisions affecting them and their kids, this goes in vain almost every time. The court gives custody to either of these "smart decision makers", entrusting them with this is a bad idea. So bottom line, women working is not a problem and it's a bad idea to think so. It's more about the impatient lifestyle you lead.

Previously the causes of divorce cases were. Lack of understanding and trust. Passion on money. Lack of ethics and morals. Extramarital relationship. Dowry problems. Growth of Individualism. Today, one more reason added - that is women empowerment. Women empowerment has initiated the raise in divorce cases in India. When there was no women empowerment, women used to compramise with her husband, even if he is drunkard or lame or bad. Because she has no future with out her husband. She used to consider him a incarnation of God. She used to have the patience of goddess Bhoodevi. Now she does not have all that. She has future and financial security. Why she compramise? A well employed woman will think that "no problem - I can lead my own life, even with out husband". Now she is not Sita or Savithri in epics. She knows how to put husband and inlaws into prison by misusing IPC 498 A. She is wearing sexy tights in the pretext of comfort. , and trying to look like a tomboy. Women empowerment has increased unemployment among men tremendously. Previously women, like goddesses used to bless their husbands, before going to war or achieving anything. Now they are achieving instead of their husbands. However women empowerment is progressing in wrong path upto 60%. Only 40% is progressing on right path. Surprisingly when there was no women empowerment, there were no divorce cases.

Earlier, men saw women as a source of fulfilling desires. Women couldn't raise their voice against evils like dowry, infanticide, monogamy. A divorce was considered as a stigma hence women tolerated the torments in pin drop silence. However education has led to women empowerment. Women are no, longer dependent on men for their basic necessities. It is good to be dependent but women should not dominate men this may lead to divorces. They should shoulder equal responsibility toward their familly. It is also required that men don't value ego more than their wives.

Any change (and a change is law of nature) brings about positive and negative effects. A very change like women empowerment is surely positive. Nevertheless a change, a movement. It is also natural for it to face initial negative effects before the change is brought about and seen in the light it should be. Nonetheless, the more important fact we need to focus on in order not to get swayed from bring a more positive result, is the basic difference in men and women. The traditional values and basic nature of women need not get affected if a man is understanding and accepts the change as positive development for the betterment of family and nation. If a positive change is suppressed, it does happen with vengeance. At least this development should be viewed positively by the educated class of our country till it seeps in our system and we learn to move on our purpose. Divorce, is one of the negative side effects of a positive change. Its like furniture rearrangement because of shifting roles.

India as a nation is revered in a feminine form i.e. ‘the Bharat Mata', the first citizen of our country presently is a woman, many important government posts are occupied by women and educated women are pouring into the professional workforce with profound implications for national and multinational corporations. However, ironically, these are accompanied by news about dowry killings, female infanticide, domestic violence against women, sexual harassment, rape. Women empowerment can never be a reason for increasing divorce rates. Dowry system is one of the chief causes for the increasing divorce rates, the other factors are forced marriages, a bit of western life influence, intoxication and sexual harrassment by the husband etc.

Some part of women empowerment has become a cause for the increase of divorce cases. It is progressing on the wrong side, causing the basic family system collapse. For better marriage, Husband and wife should depend on each other. They should never try to be independent of each other. For example, Husband should depend on wife, for homemaking, and wife should depend on Husband for money. Media and Western culture are adding fuel to the fire in this issue. I feel that Women empowerment should progress in correct path, and parally women should not leave away culture and traditions behind in the name of liberty. Family system collapses when men loose ethics, and women loose tradition. Nowdays women are degrading the value of Mangalsutra, and neglecting to wear it in the name of comfort or fashion. Woman is conquering all the opportunities, but on the contrary she lost her respect in society. In fact woman empowerment has increased unemployment.

Woman is an important part of our society right from the ancient times. Even they should enjoy the same respect in a society that a man gets. An this only lead us to the woman empowerment now in our society. But the notion that this empowerment is the real cause of divorce is totally false. The main cause is the men who still think that woman are not better that a source of their enjoyment. And should not raise voice against them. And so always try to dominant them. Which is just not acceptable in our present society where a girl enjoys all that right that a man has. Hence the men should try to read the minds of the woman and should try to support them rather than departing from the type of thinking power the woman have. The men should at-least try to change their attitude that they are holding from ancient times. According to me the only way to reduce the cases of divorce is by respecting the empowerment that woman enjoys in the present society and by taking them equal to them.

Women empowerment is not the root cause to an outstanding increase in the divorce ratio. Its the mis-interceptions and ego imbalances what actually impacts. Moreover such misunderstandings were there in our olden days but there was no chance of divorce as a woman finds no alternative to survive if she gets divorced and she cant live with out one's support. Even the society finds fault with her as it was practised as such dedicated ethic that a woman should bind to her family under any circumstances. She kept quiet even if her husband is a multi keeping, multi marrying, multi wife manager. Today its a new story. The power is decentralized. A women with out a man is obvious. The woman is educated, empowered, supported by many women welfare orgs and even by media to the most extent.

Divorce only takes place when there is no any mutual-understanding between a husband and wife. Now the time has came where we should try to change our mentality that only men will rule over the world. Today womens are also getting involved and also getting success in every field of life. Women empowerment is may be a cause of divorce but we can short it out by just balancing our professional life and personal life. We should also think that women empowerment is very important for the development of our country.

Women empowerment is being asked interms of development. Smart and clever people will have a balanced work and personal life. Just because women are given power they don't over rule husbands which causes crack in their family life. It can never be a cause for increased divorce rate in India. All educated women or men will know where and what to handle both in family and in work with some exceptions. Marriage is such a thing where a man and a woman promise that they will stay together life long and take care of each other. Because of certain misunderstandings they might have had a divorce and definitely not because of women empowerment. This term, cannot be spoken in terms of family at all. Its my point of view.

As we heard that women belong to only kitchens in earlier days now the days are changed women empowerment has begun they are doing works and managing things equally with men this is good to the development of nation and to their own family also, but there is a bane in this if every one wants to be a leader who will be the follower who will listen to whom so there will raise a conflict among husband and wife. So there will be many more problems in the family and the the children will face adverse affects thees will cause a situation on break up in harmony among the family. So the men or women should understand that the people should understand each and other in every matter ,they should not show superiority one among them so that there will not be any problem in the family.

I strongly agree with this- women empowerment is leading to lot of divorce, as women is given all the freedom she is working in many areas as equal to men, she does not have to fear for anything because she can do all that a men can do she is being treated equally as men, because of this boldness that a women has divorce rates are in its heights, she know that even if she is being departed from men she can still stand on her feet and lead a happy life.

Yes i agree with you, woman empowerment is very much essential but there are some pros and cons are there. Now all the countries are developing including Arab countries also, because they are removing their rules and regulations on women they are going to educational institutions, they are doing jobs along with men eventhough the women are dominated by some male persons and in some cases they are totally depending on the men whenever these problems will be solved then only the women definitly compete with the men.

Well I would like to initiate the topic "women empowerment".Ever since the history began "Men are the rulers" & they saw women just to fullfill their desires and to have his generation. It has been followed many centuaries. They dont have their own thinking.If they raise their voice against, they were treated horribly as they dont hav financial & moral stability. Today as the empowerment has begun lot of women are getting into schools, colleges, professional institutions, defence, administration, politics etc. They have their own thoughts & are well developed financially & morally matured. So this is creating a crisis in the both male/female thoughts,where only one tends to be the ruler naturally leading to divorce rates. But at the end it depends on the individual....
