No Women empowerment is not the cause for the increased divorce rate. Women empowerment is actually the need of the society because if a woman is empowered and educated then her whole family is benefited. Women not only take care of the family but also provide a helping hand for her husband. She is the backbone of the family.

And talking about divorce, there are many results for it and nun of the causes for divorce directly related with women's empowerment.

Due to empowerment of women, they have come to know their rights to live. I agree with the fact that women's now express their view which was not possible earlier as our society was male dominated, because of this there has increased arguments between husband and wife but getting a divorce is not the right way to end the argument. Both husband and wife should understand the value of every relation and should find a solution to their problems other than divorce.

According to me, the main cause of divorce in our society is definitely not the women empowerment. It's true that earlier days women were not arguing with their husband as there rite comes in between but as we see socially women are not left behind now a days, they are working with men in shoulder to shoulder. Yes, in some cases we can take this because empowerment broad financial independent for women in our society as well as ego problems between the couples and that ego is leading to divorce. But the main reason behind the divorce are women empowerment sence the equation of our society, broad misunderstanding between husband and wife both and lack of interaction because lack of time multiplied it. And finally misunderstanding concluding to divorce. Nuclear family fashion is also a root cause.

Thanks.

Nowadays maximum of the women are working to support their families financially. It could be for er children, husband or immediate family (mother and siblings where there is no earning member).

Women empowerment isn't causing much of the divorces, I feel most of it is due to the outdated thinking such as 'Women need to take care of the house' or 'Wives are just for free laundry and to produce children'. Most of the women are mentally harassed by in laws which causes them to give up at some point.

I completely disagree democracy defines equal rights for men and women democracy do not follow any type of genderism. Divorce depends on the decision of both the parties the problem is with society not with empowering women.

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.

Divorce, feminism and male chauvinism are not the reason for women empowerment and vice versa.

COME LETS SPEAK WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN A POSITIVE WAY!

It has nothing to do with past, present or future.

Let TIME PAUSE for a moment.

At first place why do we need women empowerment?

Does this did not happen in previous decades? Why sudden need and requirement to give emphasis to this oh so famous term?

I FEEL IT HAS TO DO WITH MIND AND SOUL.

There were times when women were powerful and wanted in family and society and of course she is NOW.

But there are also areas and incidences which show women are being suppressed because of her being a weaker vessel.

Human race saw this and does not want her to be suppressed. It also saw how family and society benefited because of her positive mind.

Taking up responsibilities like child bearing, nurturing and disciplining the child including other family and societal responsibilities has molded her character to be good person. Thus human race feels, this good character soul if empowered will benefit masses (both society and family) At the same time making herself feel wanted, secured leading to happiness.

I FEEL THIS IS THE INTENTION BEHIND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT!

But if the base thinking is pessimistic. I am for sure this term is misused and many men become victims of it.

So any positive cause, action or movement in this world can be misused by a pessimistic thought. BECAUSE OF THIS MISUSE, WE ARE NOT GOING TO ENFORCE POSITIVE THINGS IN THIS WORLD? ARE WE?

Yes I think so, but first of all, I want to clear a point that it is better for that woman who live a life in which her husband does not respects her not love her and always trying to dominant on her and do fatal attack on her so in that situation it is better to take divorce and live a happy life.

But on other hand if a woman is not empowered or we can say self-dependent and no one support her than it was very tough situation for her because she have to depend on someone for her need that's why she does not take divorce, on the other hand, self-dependent women can easily take divorce and live a happy life so I think women empowerment is the reason for divorce or we can say that women employment is reason for a lady to live a life which she want and deserve.

The women empowerment is not the only reason for divorce, the men and women equal part of life, the empowerment provides equal rights of women, according to me less understanding, less emotion and less love and responsibility major reason for divorce the women empowerment is not increased the divorce rate.

In point of my view, empowerment of women does not increase the divorce rating. Empower of women help them to stable financially in society, they can easily solve any problem with out depending anyone, they can live in groom house without fear. In old days women tolerate all torture for fear. And they were very fearful after divorce where they will go. But women empower help them to go out from this family fear. In my view, divorce increasing due to lack of mutual understanding, love, faith, the passion between couples. If any couple takes divorce that's means they can't able to solve their problem.
