Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

Yes, nowadays women empower is required because they have educated their children and lead the family success according to their budget compared to olden days it is better at present in olden days women will depend on her husband but now she can stand on their own job today we all seen that so many women will rule the society so it is necessary for our country to develop India both women and men will have work then only the will become from developing country to developed country.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, even in the 21st century, inequality exists there are so many women who are baring harassment silently from their husbands.

Even though women works 24/7to raise their children and to maintain their family they are not getting enough recognition for house chores and home maintenance as this work is unpaid who choose to be homemakers are not considered as working persons in India due to this their self-esteem tend to below.

The main challenges of the women empowerment are dowry, domestic violence etc.

The needs of the women empowerment are first of all women must have the will to be dependent and to be the best version of themselves thank you.

No, Women empowerment is not a cause of increasing divorce rate. Women empowerment is giving women the equal status as that of man which is a right guaranteed by Indian constitution. i.e; right to equality, encouraging them to come forward so that they can show their capacities and abilities. Divorce happens maybe because of differences between husband and wife or with the family members. There are many married women who now are an epitome of women empowerment and there husbands are proud of them.

I think women empowerment is the main cause to increase the cases of divorce in Indian society. Nowadays Indian girls are copying foreign culture which is more dangerous for our society as well as culture & tradition. If we saw the pages of ancient Indian history then we find that womens were more secure empowered & there were no cases of divorce.

No, I don't think women empowerment is the cause behind marriages. Its nowhere written that men are superior than women. This concept still prevails in India which must be eradicated. Both men and women have equal rights to live their life in the way they wish.

The nation can develop faster if women in every home is educated. The family is happier if mother is educated and empowered.

Also at current time in a country like India where inflation rate is very high, a home can not run with only one source of income. If both husband and wife are earning they can enjoy a better life economically and socially. So doing a job by women is also a necessity.

Now most of the men understand the fact that just because they are physically stronger doesn't mean that they are superior. Both men and women are God's creation and so both have equal rights.

Women empowerment can lead to a better life of a family.

I don't think so. That it can be the reason of increasing divorce rate. Women empowerment means giving rights to women to come front giving them good education by that they can face every challenges. And I think if it can be the cause of divorce so somewhere it is right that women is capable enough to stand and take action.

Women Empowerment leads to divorce is true factually speaking. If we just analyze the growing rate of Divorces we will clearly see that maximum percentage is in the urban areas where both the partners are working. Seeing this trend just like US & UK and other advanced countries India too will have high levels of Divorce rates going forward.

Due to very high levels of education in women and very high salaries at times it strains the matrimonial relations among the couple when the other partner cannot match the others level of career success and lifestyle.

The society is also changing fast so many drastic changes will lead to the Indian society no longer remaining the way it is today say one or two decades henceforward. But it will lead to many social problems. India should introspect as to where it is heading.

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.

Hai everyone,

I am Chaitra being a woman I would like to say that development of the women in terms of education, employment is not the cause for increasing in the divorce rate.

Men except that women should be always a bit lower than them, their salary, their position, their beauty everything its because of men's thinking the divorce rate are increasing its not because of women empowerment.

So if men's thinking changes and when they support women in the steps of her life encourage her then there will be no problems at all.

Thank you.

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.
