Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Hello,

Many of my dear friends got deviated from the topic, it is not about whether the women empowerment is good or bad. Our topic was does women empowerment increases the divorce rate in India and I'm in the favour of it.

As per our society marriage is something like lifetime commitment by both the partners to live together. And since years women are taught to keep this bonding forever and to adjust in every situation but what if their marriage didn't worked? what she'll do? Will she get separated?

In most of the cases answer would be no. OK so here is the reason. Women of past generations were not having the facilities of education and so they got suppressed by others as they were not aware of their rights and power.

When they got such platform become educated. Turned bold strong self dependent they started taking decisions of their life on their own rather being ruled by others and so they even big decision of divorce to make their life better afterwards. These are my views.

Empowerment means giving power and when a woman is empowered she comes to know about her legal powers which can be used to make her life better. She gets educated and an educated woman can make her child educated. Empowerment provides self-dependence but it has nothing to do with divorce. Everyone needs love and care and love is one of the building blocks of marriage. A working married couple can manage very well if there is a mutual understanding among themselves but the absence of trust love and understanding creates problems. Divorce can be taken anywhere, whether between a rich or the poor. It shows lack of love between the couple and when there is no love a normal couple can't live together under a single roof. So empowerment strengthens not only a woman but also her family and it can never be the cause of divorce.

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 is not a reason for divorce. It will because of the mind set of men. If a daughter works outside he feels so proud but if his wife goes for a work he can't digest it which is equal to his status. So women empowerment is not a reason for a divorce it all depends on the mindset of the men.

Women empowerment, educating women, giving equal power and opportunities in the hands of women. Whereas causes for divorce are not compatible, ill treated, dowry etc. The both the term here relates as "education to oppose the injustice". No doubt women empowerment is increasing number of divorces just because women today know what are their values. What are their rights. They are not a slave who are meant to bear all the crimes silently.

Women empowerment itself teach women, rise above the fear and speak against the wrong. Also if we take in a positive side women empowerment is leading towards happy life as no more today India is a male dominating society. An educated women can better take care of her family. She is not bounded against the forced decision of her family.

She can give her own decision of liking or liking and can choose her better partner which in future avoids divorce. We have many such good examples like Kiran Bedi, Kalpana Chawla, Sunita Williams etc. This shows that women empowerment is just reduce compromise, women are not meant for compromise.

Thank you.

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.

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.

Women empowerment is for making women powerful, giving them the freedom to put forth their ideas and stand up for their rights. This has nothing to do with relationships. The basis of any relationship is love and trust on each other. Where woman gets treated well, there are very few chances of divorce. Yes, some exceptions might be there but I am talking about the major portion. Well, women empowerment is a tool to bring the peace in society back not to break it. I don't know how one can think of it as a cause for divorce. The cause is not outside it is inside in your mind.

Good morning my dear friends today we all are here to make a group discussion on the topic of women empowerment. A cause of increasing divorce rate in India. Well. In my opinion, it is no because women empowerment is something through which women should get all the rights which were given to men equally. Increasing divorce rates in India is not because of a women empowerment, in fact, that's because of the way of the way of thinking of people irrespective of the gender. There are some stereotypes for women that she should be like this and that all nonsense but is there any kind of stereotype for men no!so I just want to conclude that increasing of divorce rate is not because of women empowerment, in fact, this is because of the lack of understanding and compromise. In life, we all have to learn how to compromise for the sake of well being so that these kinds of problems never come.

Hello everyone,

Very good morning to all of you. Today we have to discuss women empowerment a cause for increasing divorce rate in India, let's start then.

First of all, we have to understand women empowerment. Women empowerment means empowering woman and give them equal rights same as a man to make their own decisions for their personal development and social development too. It means encouraging them to face difficulties in any situation. I don't think that women empowerment increases the divorce rate in India because women empowerment and divorce are two different things. There is no relation between them. Divorce happening in India due to the misunderstanding between the couples. We all know that the population of women in India is almost the same as men. Today women are doing great in many things like sports, Education, medical sectors etc. So, I think we should see women empowerment positively.

Thank you.
