To be very frank women empowerment is not a reason for escalating divorce rate in India.

Supported by lines-.

Women Empowerment basically means educating women, making them aware of their rights, raising voice against injustice. Take two different situations.

In 18th, 19th-century women didn't know much about their rights and actions. They got suppressed by men. They were asked to sit back at home and nurture the child. Men were the source of income, women were not allowed to leave home. In the past people had the notion that if the female of the house goes for work then who will take care of the child, who will look after the home. Parents had a selective perception of women being a liability, they used to have an abortion if the get to know that a toddler is a female. In past, it was humanity which died along with the toddler.

Now the time has arrived where Women are getting more and more support from society and government. India ones used to be a patriarchal society but now our India is changing, changing towards betterment. There are many reforms which give a threshold to be more decisive and powerful and come to dominate the world in the times to come:-.

1. Reserving 1/3 of seats in parliament for women under article 40.

2. Form Rashtriya Mahila Kosh to make credit available to women.

3. Article14 - Which gives right to women to stand equal before law.

4. Stopping Polygamy and Bigamy.

5. Mahila Samiridhi Yojna - For women empowerment.

Conclusion.

Divorce happen because of lack of understanding between the couple. Sometimes men can get egoistic because women are earning more than them. Instead of making women empowerment a scapegoat, we should stop harassing each other, live life with serenity, accept the change in the society, make more love, don't break trust, do more of what makes you happy without compromising others happiness, give freedom to your partner, be mature enough to understand what your partner wants from life.

Empowerment is nowhere responsible for divorce in India instead our unreadiness to accept the change is.

Our India stands very low in Gender Parity Index (. 48). If this is improved India Could Boost Its GDP by $. 7trillion by 2025. More than 68 million women can be brought to work.

According to me, Woman empowerment is good but it doesn't mean male bashing.

Women Empowerment does not only mean to provide women with all the rights she deserves but also the basic idea of contributing the best she can with her activities to the society.

It's a crystal clear thing that a marriage doesn't last longer if the husband and wife are lacking mutual understanding, trust and have faith issues with each other.

Empowering a woman would lead her to support her husband and family emotionally and physically as she is empowered through various means in knowledge, rights, freedom, and skills.

This is what I think in my opinion.

According to me, Empowering women is to make them independent in all aspects of mind, thought, rights, decisions, etc by leaving all the social and family limitations. It is to bring equality in the society for both male and female in all areas. It is empowering women to understand their rights to be independent in every area for their proper growth and development.

The reason of divorces is the lack of mutual understanding and trust. So there is no relation between Women empowerment and Divorces.

I don't think so that the women empowerment is the cause for divorce rates in India. Women empowerment helps in overall development of the country. It creates general awareness among women towards their rights and responsibilities. If a woman is educated its whole family gets educated.

The main cause of divorce is a lack of maturity, trust, and support. So, divorce has no relation with women empowerment.

How can women empowerment cause increase divorce rate. It's both male and female are involved in the marriage relation ship. When women got married, both are equal partners in their pros and cons either family, kids, professional. Women has additional more and more responsibilities of kids, home, health, profession etc. In these taking care I strongly say most of the men don't share their equal responsibility and this is one of the reason. I say that when women is getting more responsibilities she has to be understood by the family members and she should get mental and physical support to run the family.

Women empowerment is to create awareness in women regarding their rights. Were, divorce happens because of lack of trust or cooperation between two people. So I think women empowerment is not get related with the divorce rate.

Friends as per my view, there is no role for the divorce of woman empowerment. Woman empowerment is a different issue and divorce is a different issue so please don't relate each other. When husband and wife are not able to live with them and the trust which is required in relation are not present then the situation of divorce come.

I am a woman and if I say I want to work and I want a man to marry who will look after our kids at home. Why do people judge me as self-centred. If a man wants a bride to look after his kids. It is same for the woman. WOMAN ENPOWERMENT IS NOT FEMINISM. IT IS WOMEN AWARE OF BEING EQUAL WITH A MAN. And knowing that being born in a female or a male body has nothing to do with one's choice over life's decisions like career, status. Etc. Let me put a question. DOES MALE ENPOWERMENT INCREASE DIVORCE? isn't it ridiculous? It's the same when one asks the same question with the other gender.
