Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Hi guys.

So as per the topic, I would like to present my views on it.

If you say they are both different but yes somehow connected with each other.

Divorce happens when there ia a misunderstanding or maybe the are not adjusting with each others nature but then why is women empowerment coming in it? Cause our society is male dominating and women are forced to sit back home and earlier no women was allowed to work, so they were fully dependent on men but today as the women are empowered they are self made so no more depended on men and can live alone. Divorce and women empowerment are connected as early years when women were not treated well or given equal rights men used to ill treat women and as women's were dependent on men they could not take any step but used to just tolerate it but today if this happened no need to tolerate it you have opportunities you can live alone and do better it's not about women It's about the behaviour of the society toward them and that must changed, women's thoughts should be respected as men.

Thanks.

I feel, that although WM is not directly responsible for the in increase the divorce rates, it has indirectly exposed the suppression of women in the past.

In the last two centuries, the woman was in dark of her rights, hence, she was taken advantage of by the husband/ in-laws. With WM, she has become aware of her rights and refuses to be exploited.

This refusal results in a divorce, and a collection of these such incidents reflects in an increased divorce rate. That is point one.

Point two. The increasing laws in the favour of women, in the last 30 or so years, has resulted in a pack of unaware women who are basically in the game of misusing these laws eg - divorce law, dowry law - to gain access to the land/ money of the husband/ in laws. This further results in the increase of the divorce rate chart.

So, although WM is not responsible for increased divorce rates directly, it has indirectly exposed the harsh reality of the yesteryears & is also indicative of the issues an unaware empowerment mind can create.

Hello, friends, I am Siddharth Bhardwaj from Patna the capital city of Bihar. Now I am doing BSc math honours at Patliputra University.

Friends, as we all know our today's topic is women empowerment -A cause for increasing divorce rate in India. Friends the population of girls is almost equal to the population of boys in India so if girls are empowering then it means that our country is also empowering so we all should take this in a positive way and not in a negative way. Women are empowering day by day in various fields like education, sports, politics, health sector, etc. For example in sports PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal is performing very well in badminton, Mary com in boxing, Mira Bai Channu in weight lifting and in politics Nirma Sitaraman our finance minister is also doing well. When we talk about an increase in divorce rate I don't agree with this point that women empowerment is the cause of it I think the main cause of increment in divorce rate is lack of bonding of couples and bad personal relations. Thanks.

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.

The media and technology has a role in degrading the institution of Family. The mobile phone is used by today's woman to have hidden relationships more effectively and gives a bad impression that they were looking for such opportunity to unleash their potential. The media also highlight provoking stories like rape of daughters by father and rape incidents and divorces, while good relationships and good families are not appreciated at the same scale. Good incidents all over the world are not highlighted as war, rape and murder. Many advertisements are not watchable with family.

The nutrition of the institution of Family is necessity of humanity. The loss will not only affect men but also women, especially children. The well keep of this institution should be the basis of a cultured society, truthfulness, decency, sacrifice to humanity and history of human progress. The well being and upbringing of children should be the sole responsibility of Family than state, where a culture human being will be created.

Women has been protected by various laws but still she was abused in the hands of man. Though there was various woman empowerment programs it does not reach ever corner of society. Too its a time for woman to understand that we can protect us from abuse and we must not misuse the acts and studies which protect us.

In the past women was not respected by any means even for her emotions. But now women takes part in all every fields and made society to feel her importance.

Every ones effort was needed to decrease divorce rate.

1) Women must stop misusing the advantages given to her.

2) Men must ever appreciate the importance of women and respect her.

3) Only the state can put active measures to decrease divorce by making people to respect our culture and teaching the importance of family and values of relationship.

Any every one can get success in personal and professional life.

Women empowerment has been misunderstood by both men and woman. And greater clarity by state will decrease the divorce rate.

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.

Women empowerment can never be a cause for increasing divorce rate in IN. Indians follow patriarchal pattern of society. From childhood whether it is a girl or boy we are told and have seen that tasks for a girl/boy or a women/ man were segregated rather on discriminative basis. We were brought up in a society where right from family to the politics every aspect is dominated by men. But today in the 21st century world is becoming liberal, equal opportunities are being given to both men and women. But somehow some orthodox people of this patriarchal society cannot digest the truth that women can be better than them and they can also be at the apex of every area. This insecurity among men and others who believe that men are superior and women are not is causing tension in the families and hence in the societies. With coming new changes in the world I think everyone should adapt with the new changes and new thoughts that is the only way we can live in a peaceful and prosperous society.

Well since many women nowadays are very independent, spoiled and selfish, certainly has a lot to do with it since many of them have a very high paying job and think their all that which their not. And comparing the women of today which they really stink unlike the real good old fashioned women of years ago that were certainly the best, and there was no such thing as a high maintenance woman back then either since most women back then I would say never knew the meaning of it, and both men and women back then had to really struggle to make ends meat.

It is a real good thing we had good women back then since most marriages in those days lasted such a very long time just like our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles did, otherwise many of us men would have not been around today. And today for many of us good single men looking for a good woman today to settle down with, you can certainly forget about that since most women today are very pathetic.

After marriage the word using by modern brides like My career, My Job, My surname, My family, My education the word 'MY (Mera) ' is like sand, and the sand never dissolve in water (husband/in-laws) to make water (Solution) as sweet drink. And the sand will be seems separately on water whole life.

After marriage the word using by bride like our house, our children, our family, our reputation, our happiness & Darrow the word OUR (Hamare) is like sugar, and the sugar always dissolve in water (husband/in-laws) to make water (solution) as sweet drink (sweet stable relationship) And the sugar made water sweet by dissolved her own identity in water but her taste always remains forever in water.

Be the 'SUGAR' & not 'SAND'. Any girl/bride has so many own issues then she should not be married and she should remain unmarried for her so called freedom, etc. and a man or in-laws should not be cheated by this-that reasons made by bride.
