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.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, women empowerment is nothing but the right to run familly or society in proper manner. I agree with the statment that an educated lady can run her familly in better way than an uneducated women because far every child home is frist school and mother is first is teacher so an educated mother can teach decorum and right things to her child in better way and we all know that earlier days women are mostly depend on the male member of her family for every thing and just becouse of this dependency they had to tolerate everything mostly time they are being harrassed molested threatend still they didn't say anything becouse they know that after living him how could the survive so, I think empowermet is neccessary for women to be independent and confident and if we talk about the divorce it is totally depend on the understanding and I would like to say that if are not feeling that your relation is running properlly couple should talk about and try to understand to both but if you are feeling that just becouse of some issues like dowry and giving birth of a girl child you are being harrased and threated you should seperate yourself becouse I think being alone is better than being with devil. Thank you.

Can a woman beat man in Olympics or sports?

Can a woman beat man in tough Intellectual stuff? There is only one Einstein. Even Science agrees Men have better IQ than women.

Can a woman beat man in Spirituality? Even the great Buddha thought 20 times before allowing women to Monkhood. Why? Because even he knew Women are dumb creatures and giving spirituality to women is like giving banana to a monkey.

It is a fact and science agrees that Men have greater will-power than Women. When a man decides something he invariably does it, A man takes secrets to his grave. Can we say the same thing about Women? Women are fickle minded and change their decisions every minute.

However there are certain things in which Women are better than Men.

Can a Man match Woman in giving Motherhood?

Can a Man match Women in Patience?

So Man and Women have individual strengths. But Women being idiots start matching Men in every damn field.

These so called Women Writers who talk about Women empowerment. Someone should go see their lives. Most of these writers are western women who have been divorced 3-4 times and are living Lonely miserable lives.

Think Women think !.

Women's Empowerment refers to uplifting women in every aspect such as economic, political, and social. In recent times, not a single woman neglects her needs.

Like men, women also want to be benefitted by every decision they make. I want to make it clear that I agree that divorce rates are going up because of women's empowerment. Women now understand their needs and want.

She wants to be happy with every decision she makes. And if the decision doesn't satisfy her, she have the audacity to back off from the decision. A marriage is a decision made by both man and a woman. Likewise, a woman can file for divorce if her present-day needs are not met. In earlier times women constricted themselves by the norms of society and the rules made by their In-laws included a lot of sacrifices and holding back tears because they didn't have any personal identity rather than someone's daughter or someone's wife. But now they are independent and make their own money and have a safe living without the need of a men to look after them. Now that women can speak for themselves and will not tolerate any injustice, the divorce rate is increasing.

THANKS.

I think woman empowerment is a reason for the change in their mindset.

Its because of the fruitful initiatives that woman has come to know that she is no more just a mere human being but a human being with great potential. However divorce has come because woman have lost the power to tolerate wrong doings or lost the patience to bear unruliness from their partners. But it is not because of the empowerment or not because they learnt or acquired it from the media or from the western countries. But because woman feels that instead of spending a life of compromise with their partner, why can't they lead a carefree life earning and leading a life they wanted.

However there are very few women who are so audacious that they divorce just for reasons that they don't get satisfied by their partners. But in general women empowerment has got nothing to do with divorce.

We all worship with awe the woman deities and ask for strength from them. Then the same thing must happen in India. Woman should not be looked upon as God but be given respect and be thought as a human being with great talents and not the soft flesh.

DOWRY DOWRY DOWRY MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE POSTS.

BUT WHO GIVES DOWRY AND WHO TAKES IT ARE ALL FINANCIAL OFFENDERS.

We are talking of Divorce. The girl did not have to give dowry and the boy did not get it personally.

So how can this reason be enough for a divorce?

Divorce is possible only if both the partners failed to reconcile their differences, whether petty or big and so both are at fault for failing to reach a reconciliation.

Even if the in-laws interfere, that is not a sufficient ground for Divorce.

I believe that apart from the misinterpretation and misuse of Empowerment regulations, there cannot be any Divorce unless the couples disagree on their partner preferences.

If any of the couple is misusing the Empowerment regulations, it is better to get Divorced than to live in pain in such an uncompromising situation.

If a parent scolds their child it is felt it is for the good of the children.

However if the in-laws even raise their concerns and share their opinion it is deemed interference and a reason enough to get Divorced - WOW, Such TRANSPARENCY AND FAITH in relations?

Before discussing this topic let me ask you. What is women empowerment. It is empowering of the women of our nation. So that they could be financially independent. Women empowerment is a step to giving women equal status as men. It is a step to make women stronger. How could this be a cause for divorce.

If you think women empowerment is a cause for divorce. Then it is because women who were suffering from men's torture and harassment, women who have been living like a slave to her husband. Because she had no other choice. Because she don't know what else to do than silent suffering. Now are financially independent. Now are aware of their rights. Now have the courage to raise her voice against the injustices towards her. If that is causing this increase in divorce rates. Is that bad? In my opinion NO! Everyone should be given equal rights. Should be given a chance to choose how their life should be. Rather than suffering like a slave. Being a victim of physical and sexual abuse. Only because she was married to a cruel man. It is far better to dump him. Escape and live independently.

I absolutely don't agree with women empowerment being one of the factors behind increased divorce rate. According to me, divorce has nothing to do with women empowerment. Women empowerment is about strengthening women. It's about educating women. It's about giving equal space in everything be it studies or freedom or many such things. Also educating a woman is not just restricted to that one single person, it's indirectly about educating a whole new generation because she is the one who will strengthen the basic education of her child. Every woman is the backbone of her family. Talking about divorce it's because of lack of mutual trust and desire to solve the problem by having a one to one conversation. If a husband and a wife don't want to get divorced they will automatically try to look for ways to settle the matter. They'll continuously try to look for common grounds. Who doesn't have differences? But divorce is not the solution. I feel these two are entirely different subjects and I personally don't think women empowerment has got anything to do with the increased divorce rate.

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.

Surely women empowerment may be termed as one reason for increasing divorce cases. Compare the condition of women in the 60's to now, the major difference that you would observe is significant rise in the number of working women and as a consequence of this they've become more self dependent and don't have to depend on anyone else for their daily bread. Another consequence of this is women then never used to raise their voice against the exploitation done against them and this was primarily due to there over dependent on their husband or any other male in the family. But now the scenario has been completely changed women having got employed don't beer anything and register complain against the concerned person without a delay.

But inspite of all this women are no where to be blamed, as in 80 percent of the cases it's due to exploitation done against, so in a way they are forced whereas in remaining 20 percent cases, women voluntarily go out for seeking divorce against their spouses.

Conclusively, women empowerment may be a cause for divorce but surely not due to women.
