According to me, increasing divorce rate in India is not because of women empowerment. It is just because of nowadays, women have been very smart. They have decided not to cry but to fight against injustice. Women are nowadays aware of the law, legislation.

Men were cheating with their wife from too many years back. They had extra marital affairs and all. But in those days, women were not too smart to recognize that. But now women are too smart. Nowadays, they have started using a hidden camera, web cam, GPS tracker and they are now able to see their husband. Where is he and with whom?

And another thing, if men are loyal to their wife, respecting her and transparency in their relationship and both should give an equal status and respect to each other, then there is no chance to start conflict and arguments. It just depends on how you are treating your life partner, not on men or women empowerment.

I think women empowerment is not caused by increasing divorce rate in India. Firstly I would like to inform all of you that Women Empowerment is the thing which improves women's strength and makes powerfull without any dependent. I come to the point, divorce is caused because understanding between couples and women make independent so they are not facing crisis and trouble.

In point of my view, empowerment of women does not increase the divorce rating. Empower of women help them to stable financially in society, they can easily solve any problem with out depending anyone, they can live in groom house without fear. In old days women tolerate all torture for fear. And they were very fearful after divorce where they will go. But women empower help them to go out from this family fear. In my view, divorce increasing due to lack of mutual understanding, love, faith, the passion between couples. If any couple takes divorce that's means they can't able to solve their problem.

In my point of view, women empowerment is never caused for increasing divorce rate in India. Because empowerment creates how to educate our family and how to live in our society. Taking divorce is only depends upon the couple behaviour. If there is no mutual understanding, lack of love in a couple, no adjustment and patience, it will cause to take a divorce.

So, every couple in a family is facing a lot of problems. The main thing is an adjustment. For instance, if we take our parents, they were also facing many problems in their lives but they are still living together. I think women empowerment is not a cause for increasing divorce rate in India.

Women empowerment has become a cause of divorce nowadays because of male egoistic behaviour or we can say to see women as his slave. According to me, women empowerment is not caused of divorce in that case where men support his.

Partner, show his loyalty to her and think to keep himself in that point from which women are suffering. Women empowerment is nowadays warmly welcomed in the society but creates some misunderstanding between the partners but it doesn't become a big issue if they have faith and love between them. So according to me, it becomes the reason of divorce in that cases where there is a lack of faith and love between the couple otherwise it's not a big issue.

Women Emopowerment is not the only the reason to increase divorse rate. Many other reasons are also responsible for increase in divorse rate. But Women empowerment is also one of them. Earlier, her husband do not respect or bahave good with her but she adjust with her husband because she were thinks about her single life after divorced. At that no one support her so she could be dependable for her needs. Now senario is change. Women is empowered. So she can take divorse easily and live her life happily which she want and deserve it. She can't be dependable on anyone for her needs. So women empowerment increases the divorse rate.

Empowerment means giving power or authority to take independent decisions in order to authorise something. Which is not seen in the case of "Women Empowerment".

There are two faces of coin in women empowerment i.e. professional & personal life.

Talking about the professional life, in our society "Women development" has been treated as " Women empowerment" over the decades. Giving the opportunities to the women of the society to do what a man does, it doesn't empower them. It could be a step towards the development of women in our society. The question arises here - "Why there is a sudden need of women empowerment". There should be justice to the implementation of it. There are many sectors where women in the 21st century aren't treated equally. Before thinking of empowerment, equality has to be taken care in all perspectives. The ratio of female to male is always less in all the fields. This shows we haven't reached the level of equality. The reason of inequality isn't the incapability of a woman always. It's the partial preference chosen by the authority. To attain equality they should define certain ratio which encourages the female candidates to show & enhance their skills. Being judgemental towards the capability of a woman in any field is a hindrance to their development. But many workplaces do not encourage the participation of women in the field of work. Talking about job opportunities few advertisements are meant for only "male candidates". This gender-biased shouldn't be encouraged. Governments have been doing good about it. Few more steps could get us close to empowerment.

Talking about the personal life of a woman. The empowerment not only needed in professional life but also plays a vital role in personal life. A woman is always considered to be "a dependent" on a male whether it's a father or husband for taking their decisions. Also, considered to sacrifice if needed and to do house chores in rural & sometimes in urban areas too. The question arises here -"Is this the reason for male dominating society". A woman should be taken as a perfect example of someone who can play both the roles whether it's personal or professional. To change this mindset every woman on their has to take initiative to let the people around them know that - "what they do at home is a choice not because they have to or not capable of doing other things". Women empowerment could be one of the reasons for divorce not letting your better half grow. But its definitely not the only reason for increasing divorce rate in India.

Yes I think so, but first of all, I want to clear a point that it is better for that woman who live a life in which her husband does not respects her not love her and always trying to dominant on her and do fatal attack on her so in that situation it is better to take divorce and live a happy life.

But on other hand if a woman is not empowered or we can say self-dependent and no one support her than it was very tough situation for her because she have to depend on someone for her need that's why she does not take divorce, on the other hand, self-dependent women can easily take divorce and live a happy life so I think women empowerment is the reason for divorce or we can say that women employment is reason for a lady to live a life which she want and deserve.

Actually, it is right that empowerment is the main reason for increasing divorce rate in India. It is not my sympathy towards patriarchal mentality. It is right that thanks to the feminist movement Indian woman get's liberty and equality. But they often forget the meaning of liberty. They think that liberty means involving in sex with other person after marriage and blaming their husband and their family that they torture her repeatedly after marriage. So the girl and her family are going to the police station and misuse article 498-A. So the family of the inevitable bot is arrested and naturally the girl demands divorce and so easily she is able to collect it. And the girl marries other rich person and leads a peace and prosperous life.
