Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Woman is base of family. So, empowering woman means empowering a family. But woman should live under the control of her husband, she should submit herself to her husband. When a woman is empowered, she overlooks her husband and not submit towards him leading to misunderstanding and disputes in the family, leading to fighting and even divorce.

Surely women empowerment may be termed as one reason for increasing divorce cases. Compare the condition of women in the 60's to now, the major difference that you would observe is significant rise in the number of working women and as a consequence of this they've become more self dependent and don't have to depend on anyone else for their daily bread. Another consequence of this is women then never used to raise their voice against the exploitation done against them and this was primarily due to there over dependent on their husband or any other male in the family. But now the scenario has been completely changed women having got employed don't beer anything and register complain against the concerned person without a delay.

But inspite of all this women are no where to be blamed, as in 80 percent of the cases it's due to exploitation done against, so in a way they are forced whereas in remaining 20 percent cases, women voluntarily go out for seeking divorce against their spouses.

Conclusively, women empowerment may be a cause for divorce but surely not due to women.

Any country or home cannot be run only by finance minister (earning wife). It is necessary of home minister (house wife). Working man & working women for more and more money is imbalanced and disturb natural life of human. Just money is not everything in the world.

I think women are power of the country. Women empowerment is very necessary as it give rights to women to speak for them. When God makes us he never does inequality with anyone then why should we do.

Women have rights to live their as they want. Why they always sacrifice? Education and power to women made them self sufficient and self independent. So that they can protest against injustice and domestic violence.

Ya friends according to my opinion it not the sufficient cause of divorce in India it is western culture effect and man did not control their senses and I want to give you some point that proves women-empowerment is cause of divorce:

1. If male and females both are government employees then they will not give proper time to their child and also they will not give proper their self.

2. If women will go outside for the job then society things wrong towards women's and husband also and l think the main cause of divorce is Westernisation and thinking of man and women.

According to me, most divorces are usually caused by women, especially the ones who have their Careers today.

Women empowerment change the perspective of women. When women get the job they become financially active and does not need men in any way. They dominate once it happened.

Those women who are in the "Mode of Ignorance" will never understand the laws of this creation which will reflect them as Karma won't forget that Money, Madness, Maritial Affairs can never bring happiness in any Humans. I'm a scientist in genetics advice women to be grounded even if she is working in any large corporations its very good!

There are some really worthy wife's who are leading the corporate yet they stick with their Morality, Cultures & Traditions at all cost and without any conflict in families. Women stand up, but never ever forget your Husband & institution of marriage.

In my point of view there is no relevance to relate women empowerment with divorce. The person whether men or women has a right of empowerment. Women empowerment doesn't make women self-centered.

Empowerment make her confident, independent and improve her status in society. Empowerment of women creates equality in the society. It is only our point of view how we see this. So the reason behind divorce is not the empowerment of someone.

Is Women Empowerment Reason for High Divorce Rate?

Divorce is a very sensitive term, so in my opinion it shouldn't be generalized. Every individual case is different. But for sure it is not rising because of women empowerment rather, it's our love for materialistic things that has changed our priorities in life.

A few decades back things were being used and people were being loved, but now the situation has changed. With huge pay packages it seems too easy for people to change anything and better half that doesn't suit their preference.

We do not want to build an understanding. Most of us swear by the words "My Way or Highway". I am sorry to say, but in earlier days where the parents of both groom and bride were playing a sincere role in developing a balance and nurturing the relationship, are now not in the same role. Instead now in some case they act as fuel to fire. Empathy has been replaced ego.

And still if it is women empowerment has lead to rise in the divorce rate. We must understand it in a deeper context. Over the decades, our family structures and society have changed. Gone are those days when a family used to have a minimum of 4 and more children. These days family structures are changing to the extent that they have not only become nuclear but also a maximum number of children per couple have reduced to 2.

In earlier days if a daughter used to complain her parents about the harassment she faces in her matrimonial house, parents having limited support and in fear of society were not able to help their daughter.

A's had to limited financial resources and other children to marry as well. But now the girls get full support from their parents and in addition to this being financially independent do not wish to continue to undergo the physical, mental and financial trauma at the matrimonial house.
