Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Why is divorce increasing?

Many reasons are there. Reasons are basically due to high expectation out of marriage. Secondly money problems. One other reason is friends who spoil our relationships They give wrong advice some of which hurt our relationship and marriage ends up in rock.

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.

Women empowerment cannot be the reason of divorce because Divorce and women empowerment are two different things. Empowerment means own rights which women have. Men and women have their equal rights in each and every things. Women should also give equal importance as men has been given.

Divorce is the big problem due to mutual understanding, loyalty, trust, faith which are not there with partner. If both the partner will understand each other then this problem will not there. Suppose men have ego problems or jealousy problems than women empowerment can be the reasons of divorce. Its all depends on the situation and time periods which going on.

Hai everyone,

I am Chaitra being a woman I would like to say that development of the women in terms of education, employment is not the cause for increasing in the divorce rate.

Men except that women should be always a bit lower than them, their salary, their position, their beauty everything its because of men's thinking the divorce rate are increasing its not because of women empowerment.

So if men's thinking changes and when they support women in the steps of her life encourage her then there will be no problems at all.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Women empowerment is something which makes our society realize that women are also an integral part of a society and they should be treated in the same way as men. Weather it is home or work field. Weather it is about rights or opportunities. This can only be done by proper education and awareness in our society.

In earlier days women were not treated in the same way as they should be as per women empowerment. Men should not only say but they must understand and accept that women are not meant to be suppressed. They should be treated equally as men. And women must also understand that changes and understanding comes with time and mentality can not be changed in an hour.

Women should also understand that empowerment is not meant to overtake men instead it is to bring women as equivalent as men. Relation is something which needs understanding, patience and compromises but equally from both sides. Empowerment is nowhere responsible for divorces in India instead our non readiness for the changes are.

I think women empowerment and relationship status are completely different from each other. Empowerment is not the cause of divorce in present day rather domestic violence does. The point is before due to lack of empowerment women can't gather the courage to fight against the violence.

But now a days they have the capability and courage to do that. So in order to decrease the no. of divorce we have to decrease domestic violence instead of blaming women empowerment.

I don't think so that the women empowerment is the cause for increasing divorce rate in India. India is a democratic country. So it depends upon the thinking of the people weather the are living to gather or just split because in other countries like USA divorce is just the common thing.

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.

I don't think it is the fault of both parties. If we go through the Chanakya qoutes, "A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night".

In the present new world/generation in India, a normal family is forced to work together for a better life. In an orthodox/traditional family this new generation state of affairs does not work, rather they still believe in the above thought. This starts and causes basic issues between people and ultimately leads to family crisis.

So please respect each other and avoid unnecessary situations.

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.
