Hello Everyone.

Yes, I partially agree to this. I feel somehow women empowerment is affecting the rate of divorce.

Earlier women were not free to take divorce even if she is not happy with her husband. She uses to sacrifice her life for her children and family and society. 100 times she uses to think about the society before taking divorce.

But nowadays, women are free to take decision she can take divorce if understanding is no between them.

In India out of 100, only 40% marriages are successful where a couple have an understanding between them, a strong bond between them. Rest are just living for the sake of living and this happens when the women have no source for getting apart. When she is not educated enough to work n grow her children.

But when I say about women empowerment, it has given an option for women to express her thoughts and live her life in her own way.

She can definitely take divorce if she is not happy with her husband.

So yes. I would say that somehow women empowerment is a reason for increasing the rate of divorce.

Hello everyone.

Women empowerment is not a cause for a number of divorce in India. Which women is capable to handle family and office work both that women having excellent capabilities. Divorce rate increase by their personal understanding between husband and wife. There is no such relation to her employment. If bounding is not good between them then it doesn't matter that women are employed or unemployed. The employee's woman is also supported to development of our country. Our country is male dominated country. Here senior citizen doesn't allow to women to go.

Aside from their home for job purpose. Think about it if only half population of our country work then how it becomes developed.

We are in 21st century still gender equality exists. Women are still harassed by her life partner because of lack of awareness om rights, lack of education and lack of empowerment.

Women are working 24/7 hours to raise her children and her family. But she is not getting recognition for the work she has done.

The men's attitude towards this women empowerment should change because if they allow his wife to do a job she will become independent and she will not listen to his words and all. We have to take the example of Mary Kom. She got married and having two sons then also her husband allowed her to box. So all the men should inspire by Mary Kom's husband.

Hi Friends,

In my point of view, there is no link between women empowerment and divorce. Women empowerment is a part of equality between Men and Women. It is part of our nation. But I simply regret this, because of women empowerment only there is a chance for divorce is a foolishness one. Divorce is a misunderstanding between two couples. As a woman, I feel very happy because nowadays women freedom is as much in the nation compared to our previous years. So we (women) should use the empowerment in a good way. This empowerment is not for us to fight with men and hurt a man it is our rights and freedom we should use our rights and freedom in the best manner.

According to me, Women empowerment is not all have relation with divorce. Yes, it is true that earlier days women were not arrguing with there husband as there rite comes in between but as we see socially womens now days are not left behind they are working with man in shoulder to shoulder position, women empoverment is increasing the awareness that now womens are not behind,

Divorce between couple is due to misunderstanding which should be solve by discussing with each other.

Man should not feel jaleous about success of women they should feel proud that yes she can also go outside can work and earn money and will help in improving the financial condition.

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.

No Women empowerment is not the cause for the increased divorce rate. Women empowerment is actually the need of the society because if a woman is empowered and educated then her whole family is benefited. Women not only take care of the family but also provide a helping hand for her husband. She is the backbone of the family.

And talking about divorce, there are many results for it and nun of the causes for divorce directly related with women's empowerment.

Due to empowerment of women, they have come to know their rights to live. I agree with the fact that women's now express their view which was not possible earlier as our society was male dominated, because of this there has increased arguments between husband and wife but getting a divorce is not the right way to end the argument. Both husband and wife should understand the value of every relation and should find a solution to their problems other than divorce.
