Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Hello,

According to me in today women got tremendous opportunities to go high and to reach the sky. This is a golden chances for women to prove herself to her hidden potential.

Today man and women have not only the same rules but also 30 percent place reserve for women so it help women much more to achieve their target.

85 percent women work outside with managing their home after marriage that means they spend more time in official work than her home, and can't give so much time to her family which she must want to give, the result cause dissatisfaction in both husband and wife. Husband also feel bad only at some places equally participate in household responsibilities.

No Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India yes she will be wrong at sometime but her husband try to understand and make she known that what was her mistake. Yes if she is wrong at same mistake many times then husband should take any action but remember that No one can clap by only one hand.

But it does not mean that women should not work outside and become only homemaker,

She should work but she have such type of job that she can spend her more time with family too.

Sorry If I hurt anyone, I write here my opinion only which I think. Because in today technical world women do not want to stay only as a housewife she want to do something different, she want to help her family, her husband financially and she do that. Women know their responsibilities very well and they follow them only the need require sometimes is to support her.

Thank you.

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?

Good morning friends.

I am here to share my point of views.

Woman empowerment is something which gives woman equal chances to participate or to compete in every field with man. It makes women aware of their rights and freedom. Friends we have been living in a male dominating society where men are superior race.

Earlier women were not allowed to take part in any decision making, they were easy prey of violence and were not allowed to speak even a single word even after violence with them. They were deprived of their basic rights. Even today in many forms or for academic purpose management ask fathers name, why can't they ask for mothers name also?

Now with the empowerment of women they have come to know their rights, their freedom. So they don't want to get discriminated by male. This creates problem because men just can't tolerate to see demeaning their position in the society. They want to rule the society and still think as the superior race in the society. But now woman of our society giving man tough competition.

So even woman start argumenting and the situation becomes heated.

This may one of the cause of increased divorce.

In the end I want to conclude that its the fault of the woman empowerment programmes for increased divorce. Its just for the upliftment of a retarded race of the society.

We man and woman of the society should understand the value of relation. Its just our thoughts that are causing increased divorce.

We need to make it amenable for each other.

Thank you.

“Women empowerment” is a word that gave me identity by standing out and speaking out loudly about all the abuses faced in my marriage. This word gave me courage and a mission to act now before it's too late.

Yes, it's a reason for my divorce but positively as all my dreams, bucket lists, likes and dislikes have come alive again as if I have a second chance to live.

This empowerment gives me strength to stand up for a common goal of equality and I am ready to give up on all the luxuries, comfort and relationships for my rights, freedom and justice.

If I can't justify or correct the wrong things happening to me then the reason of my birth is unknown, the purpose of my life is shadowed and under such a toxic marriage you will never be able to breathe fresh air if you don't dare to leave, a leap of faith, trusting the universe to provide better because we women deserve better treatment and relationships. I do strongly believe the first and most difficult step of leaving is on us rest is taken care of by the universe.

We as united can give courage and power to more women around who are facing such abuses, violence and torture every day just for the sake of keeping their families together.

My kids will be proud one day that I left all the luxuries of life, fighting the orthodox society around just for my self-respect.

Money can be earned but lost respect cannot come back.

You cannot heal where you were hurt.

Trust and believe you deserve what your heart craves!

Hello Everyone,

Here, we are discussing the topic of Women's empowerment which means encouraging the power of women in our country, as everyone knows even in the 21st century gender inequality exists among most families.

So, that will always neglect girls in all fields so I just want to say that the empowerment of women is not only the reason behind the divorce rate increasing in India. There is also more than one reason for women's empowerment:

Women are not getting the opportunity to make any decisions in the family.

Women are mistreated by their in-laws because of the dowry and many other reasons like having only girl children etc.

Even after working more than men, they don't get appreciation from society. They do not have equal opportunities in every field because of society's thinking.

Some men are beating the women even if they are working at home as well as outside.

But this happened because of uneducated ratio is higher in women so I want to conclude that if the women do study then they know the value of self-respect and they will start before their decisions as well and also get the knowledge of the rights they have overall so government also take initiatives like 'beti bchao beti pdhao' and many others so that women can empower themselves and they can live their life without sacrificing their all dreams for the family.

I don't really get why people often put divorce in a negative light. The reasons why divorce happen:

1) Physical/Emotional/Sexual abuse by either of the spouse.

2) Dowry harassment.

3) Severe Alcoholism (can be taken as physical/mental abuse toward the other spouse. ).

4) Not compatible with each other (such as not having the same tastes, liking etc).

While women empowerment aims at equal status and opportunities for all women and give them rights equivalent to men.

Now please tell me how this is related?

Sure, after the empowerment of women arrived in the society, the divorce rates are increasing. However, why is this bad? Women now understand that they're humans and not animals in human form. They no longer accept the violence and abuse done towards them a long time ago. Why should they stick with a man that treats them like cattle? The whole point of marriage is to be with the person you love forever. When there's no love, the sole purpose of marriage is destroyed. Why remain in such a relationship anyway?

Best example of women empowerment causing divorce is false 498a cases. They're taking advantage of this law that was designed to protect them. However, that is a very teeny tiny percentage compared to the number of women that really suffer in marriage. Is it wrong for these women to get away and live their life well?

Greater societal acceptance of divorcees in urban areas and also a gradual acceptance of divorced daughters by families (not in rural areas) because families have started to believe that perhaps their daughter can have a life after marriage and without a husband.

The anonymity of big cities has helped divorced people avoid the glare of judgmental friends and relatives. Financial freedom to walk away from an abusive relationships. The sanctity of marriage is taking a beating. People's attitudes towards marriage itself are Chandigarh as a result they do not work hard at it as before.

More DRINKS couples(double income no kids) who are not held back by the fear of how the divorce will impact children.

Stress of modern life. Today's working environment has changed drastically. The economy having opened up, most companies are facing intense competition and this leads to tremendous pressure on employees. Working late, 6 days a week, without holidays and with a boss who breathes down your throat can create a lot of frustration and tension. This can destroy a marriage, whether it's just one partner working, or both.

Loneliness. Nuclear families have meant loneliness for the non-working partner, compounded by moving away from familiar environments. This can result in estrangement, affairs.

Hello,

Having lived and suffered in a patriarchal society for most of the history, I think it is only fair that women today are moving towards more empowerment and responsibilities. And looking at their progress we can definitely agree that women have proved that they are no less than men when it comes to handling things other than mere household work.

As for the increasing divorce rates in the country, men here are accustomed to or to rather say it is in their nature to be the sole provider in the family and have the first say in every household decision and they feel it as a blotch on their manhood when women come forward strongly with their views. It is because all this women empowerment thing (which is a good thing) is a recent phenomena and it will take some time for men to get out of this traditional viewpoint of them being the sole provider. Not to say this is the only reason but this difference of mindset leads to conflicts that ultimately results in a divorce.

But eventually with this rate of progress, women will soon enjoy the same status as men and by then men will have come out this notion of them being the superior gender and hopefully we will see a decline in divorce rates and the country will also be a better place for women to live.

'Women empowerment leading to increased divorce rates', this is partly true.

Women empowerment is necessary for every women because of the following:

- Having decision making power of their own.
- Having access to information and resources for taking proper decision.
- Ability to exercise assertiveness in collective decision making.

Nowadays parents educate their daughters to empower them. (No getting a fat-pay job.
Doesn't only mean women empowerment. Women might choose to do some philanthropist.
Work for example. ) Yes, in comparison to women in 70's and 80's, women of 90's and as.

Well as today's women are more empowered. They know their rights, self-dependent, have decision making power, have positive self-image.

But these are only the positive aspect of women empowerment, the negative aspects of women empowerment are as follows:

- They misuse their rights, for example IPC Section 406 and many others.
- Most (not all) women, mainly working, harass their husbands at home, which leads to divorce. There are laws for women harassment, but men are equally harassed which goes unnoticed. Yes, it is arguably true.

So to conclude, to be unempowered is not good, but to be over empowered is also not good for the society.

My dear citizens indeed it has been spoken vastly about the increasing rates of divorces across the country like India. As a well wisher of the country I request couples not to get influenced with what you see in Media, Television & Newspapers. They are are all spoiling the couples for wasted interest.

Divorce is not the solution for arguments in relationships you gonna sort it out we're not animals who eat & sleep with anyone we're Human Beings who live for Respect, Values & Truth-fullness. Yes indeed the logic of Americans was to introduce women empowerment for the gains of their companies.

So that when a women comes out for working she tends to attract & spend more on sexuality, Escorting, Clothing & Fast Foods etc. They know it India is still culturally stronger and its the only way to exploit the people.

Women's are being wanted exploited by many western companies at workplace by giving more salaries, asked to wear sexy, short cloths and then writing it in the Newspapers about salary rise etc. To create an inflation and spoil the country. Couples you need to be stronger than an iron and live by relationships, Lord Krishna (God) has created Women to support Men in all his endeavors not to overtake.
