Women has been protected by various laws but still she was abused in the hands of man. Though there was various woman empowerment programs it does not reach ever corner of society. Too its a time for woman to understand that we can protect us from abuse and we must not misuse the acts and studies which protect us.
In the past women was not respected by any means even for her emotions. But now women takes part in all every fields and made society to feel her importance.
Every ones effort was needed to decrease divorce rate.
1) Women must stop misusing the advantages given to her.
2) Men must ever appreciate the importance of women and respect her.
3) Only the state can put active measures to decrease divorce by making people to respect our culture and teaching the importance of family and values of relationship.
Any every one can get success in personal and professional life.
Women empowerment has been misunderstood by both men and woman. And greater clarity by state will decrease the divorce rate.

DOWRY DOWRY DOWRY MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE POSTS.
BUT WHO GIVES DOWRY AND WHO TAKES IT ARE ALL FINANCIAL OFFENDERS.
We are talking of Divorce. The girl did not have to give dowry and the boy did not get it personally.
So how can this reason be enough for a divorce?
Divorce is possible only if both the partners failed to reconcile their differences, whether petty or big and so both are at fault for failing to reach a reconciliation.
Even if the in-laws interfere, that is not a sufficient ground for Divorce.
I believe that apart from the misinterpretation and misuse of Empowerment regulations, there cannot be any Divorce unless the couples disagree on their partner preferences.
If any of the couple is misusing the Empowerment regulations, it is better to get Divorced than to live in pain in such an uncompromising situation.
If a parent scolds their child it is felt it is for the good of the children.
However if the in-laws even raise their concerns and share their opinion it is deemed interference and a reason enough to get Divorced - WOW, Such TRANSPARENCY AND FAITH in relations?

The argument that women empowerment is the reason for the increasing divorce rates is not entirely logically convincing because it ignores certain crucial assumptions.
Firstly, it assumes that the divorce rates were less when women were not a part of the professional/corporate world and dependent totally on their husbands in all respects. Lets discuss here first what does divorce mean? Does it necessarily mean the husband and wife separated under legal conditions? Or does it simply refers to a failed marriage? Domestic violence, ego clashes, sexual harassment-are these not the reasons of failed marriages? If yes, then these were prevalent even before the women were "empowered".
If, today, a woman is strong and independent enough to come out and demand for the separation from her husband just because she does not need her life to be miserable, we blame it on the empowerment. It is true that women have become stronger, educated and less vulnerable but the motive was never to break apart their families.
Some might argue that women empowerment leads to ego clashes between the spouses but it is equally reasonable to argue that men can't bring themselves to believe that today their wives are shoulder to shoulder with them and some in fact are even ahead of them. So, it is not the empowerment which has created the ego clashes, it is the inability of some (not all) men to adapt to the changes which have been brought about due to empowerment.
Secondly, the argument never addresses the fact that women empowerment has decreased the rate of domestic violence which ideally should be the reason for divorce. Therefore, the motives of women empowerment were never wrong but the consequences might differ as per how people expect an educated woman to be.

In my point of view women empowerment and increasing cases of divorce are different things. Women empowerment means give them power to make them equal as their male counterpart. It is justice with them to get equal status as man in the society. Why should they bear the odd for that they are not responsible.
However increasing case of divorce is due to mismatch of couple in education, in status, in approach, family values and many more which leads to take this last step.

Before discussing this topic let me ask you. What is women empowerment. It is empowering of the women of our nation. So that they could be financially independent. Women empowerment is a step to giving women equal status as men. It is a step to make women stronger. How could this be a cause for divorce.
If you think women empowerment is a cause for divorce. Then it is because women who were suffering from men's torture and harassment, women who have been living like a slave to her husband. Because she had no other choice. Because she don't know what else to do than silent suffering. Now are financially independent. Now are aware of their rights. Now have the courage to raise her voice against the injustices towards her. If that is causing this increase in divorce rates. Is that bad? In my opinion NO! Everyone should be given equal rights. Should be given a chance to choose how their life should be. Rather than suffering like a slave. Being a victim of physical and sexual abuse. Only because she was married to a cruel man. It is far better to dump him. Escape and live independently.

Women empowerment is not only a cause of divorce, but its a cause of suicide amongst men, senior citizen abuse & lack of proper parenting of children.
A women who is educated working and is & married into a liberal family is already empowered or equal.
All these biased laws in name of empowerment only bring out the evil in them & men suffer in turn. They cheat, abuse father in law mother in law, separate father from child, take away money & ornaments from husbands home but not much can be done.

My birthday is tomorrow and so I am trying to get away from topics like this at least for one night and one day and just breathe, look out the windows at the beautiful western sky and creatures. What this person has written at the outset is absolutely the trends for quite some time and there is no need arguing about this. Females of all stripes know exactly what had been happening whether they try to justify right from wrong present from past.
Fact is, they are out for #1 and as much money as they can get in the process HERE in western decayed culture. Think we aren't paying for this so called liberation? Something created us all and that something will take care of the perpetrators AND they are not just Independent women guys!

Hello,
According to me in today women got tremendous opportunities to go high and to reach the sky. This is a golden chances for women to prove herself to her hidden potential.
Today man and women have not only the same rules but also 30 percent place reserve for women so it help women much more to achieve their target.
85 percent women work outside with managing their home after marriage that means they spend more time in official work than her home, and can't give so much time to her family which she must want to give, the result cause dissatisfaction in both husband and wife. Husband also feel bad only at some places equally participate in household responsibilities.
No Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India yes she will be wrong at sometime but her husband try to understand and make she known that what was her mistake. Yes if she is wrong at same mistake many times then husband should take any action but remember that No one can clap by only one hand.
But it does not mean that women should not work outside and become only homemaker,
She should work but she have such type of job that she can spend her more time with family too.
Sorry If I hurt anyone, I write here my opinion only which I think. Because in today technical world women do not want to stay only as a housewife she want to do something different, she want to help her family, her husband financially and she do that. Women know their responsibilities very well and they follow them only the need require sometimes is to support her.
Thank you.

Once you understand that a relationship is just for namesake. Leave I t. Why should you sacrifice self respect and blindfold society and live as if it's your fate and go on? So divorce is inevitable to live freely. But post divorce. It's quite difficult if you don't have a job. Especially if it's a woman with children. So if you are an employed you can live with your head held high and raise your children well. So women empowerment is good. So both are needed. And one cannot be solely blamed for another.
Above all a good relation is based on love, respecting each other, caring and trust and of course compromise and sacrifice is also needed.
A good couple should be God fearing too and raise their offspring well together.
At Least when you bid goodbye to world you can be happy that you had a wonderful family and your part was clear.

Can a woman beat man in Olympics or sports?
Can a woman beat man in tough Intellectual stuff? There is only one Einstein. Even Science agrees Men have better IQ than women.
Can a woman beat man in Spirituality? Even the great Buddha thought 20 times before allowing women to Monkhood. Why? Because even he knew Women are dumb creatures and giving spirituality to women is like giving banana to a monkey.
It is a fact and science agrees that Men have greater will-power than Women. When a man decides something he invariably does it, A man takes secrets to his grave. Can we say the same thing about Women? Women are fickle minded and change their decisions every minute.
However there are certain things in which Women are better than Men.
Can a Man match Woman in giving Motherhood?
Can a Man match Women in Patience?
So Man and Women have individual strengths. But Women being idiots start matching Men in every damn field.
These so called Women Writers who talk about Women empowerment. Someone should go see their lives. Most of these writers are western women who have been divorced 3-4 times and are living Lonely miserable lives.
