Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

According to me, there is no relation between women's empowerment and divorce cases as,

WOMAN EMPOWERMENT means providing women equal rights in the society as of men.

Whereas,

DIVORCE take place due to the lack of mutual understanding between husband and wife. The man always has domineering nature and the main problem is with EGOISM.

Women empowerment is empowering the women to take their own decisions for their personal dependent. Empowering women are 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. Women empowerment is very necessary to make the bright future of the family, society, and country. Women need fresh and more capable environment so that they can take their own right decisions in every area whether for themselves, family, society or country.

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.

I think more than women empowerment it is feminists who are to be blamed for increasing divorces. Feminists advocate a 'my life my choice' kind of life. This is a very selfish view of life. In a society it is rather 'Our life our choice'. Relationships are never constant and must persist through the thick and thin of life. Today due to the selfish feminist point of view, women are advised to walk out of marriage at the slightest discomfort. Instead of encouraging selfishness in the name of empowerment, women must be advised to get over anger, ego, hatred which will help in sustaining a relationship. This so called western way of empowerment increases female ego unnecessarily. Also developing good qualities are necessary for men as well.

Women Empowerment refers to increasing and improving the social, economic, political and legal strength of the women, to ensure equal right to women, and to make them confident enough to claim their rights, such as:

- Freely live their life with a sense of self-worth, respect, and dignity.

- Have complete control of their life, both within and outside of their home and workplace.

- To make their own choices and decisions.

- Have equal rights to participate in social, religious and public activities.

- Have equal social status in the society.

- Have equal rights for social and economic justice.

- Determine financial and economic choices.

- Get equal opportunity for education.

- Get equal employment opportunity without any gender bias.

- Get safe and comfortable working environment.

According to me, women empowerment is not the cause of divorce. But it provides a tool that enables the women shed their fear. In fact, women empowerment strengthen the familial bonding. Here women empowerment restoring the status and dignity by upholding their rights and making a mechanism for its adherence at all level. So out I rightly deny that women empowerment is the cause of increasing divorce.

According to me women empowerment is not a cause for increasing divorce, but it is surely a pathway for all the women who were not able to raise a voice against the mishaps and fight for their own rights be it taking a divorce or charging someone for his or her bad deeds.

I'm Shreyas.

In my opinion. There is no relation between empowerment of women and divorce. Marriage is a sacred thing and all we know that women are more loyal than men do.

So, empowering women will lead men to increase their financial graph. By empowering women by giving confidence opportunities to women will lead our nation to become the leader of world by 2020. You can screen Hollywood movies. In that movies women are no lesser than men.

So women empowerment means better future of India.

If we will consider some foreign countries where women are as empowered as men then we will observe that their divorce is very common. I think it is more important for a man or a woman to live a happy life than a married life. So if divorces are result of empowerment then it proves we moved toward women empowerment.

But it will take us (men) some time to understand and accept this as we have grown up in male dominating society. But slowly the things will change and this factor will diminish in divorce cases. But for the moment I think it is one of the factors responsible for the divorce cases.

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.
