Hi everyone!

I would like to add my point's here. We all know men and women both are God's creation so they have equal rights in this society and it is not effected in increasing divorce rates. The main reason or common fact is woman's are narrow minded and possessive minded so its effected their daily life and it leads to divorce.

Well now that much more women today are very high maintenance, independent, selfish, spoiled, and very greedy, many of them are the real cause of most divorces especially in America.

Hello,

According to me in today women got tremendous opportunities to go high and to reach the sky. This is a golden chances for women to prove herself to her hidden potential.

Today man and women have not only the same rules but also 30 percent place reserve for women so it help women much more to achieve their target.

85 percent women work outside with managing their home after marriage that means they spend more time in official work than her home, and can't give so much time to her family which she must want to give, the result cause dissatisfaction in both husband and wife. Husband also feel bad only at some places equally participate in household responsibilities.

No Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India yes she will be wrong at sometime but her husband try to understand and make she known that what was her mistake. Yes if she is wrong at same mistake many times then husband should take any action but remember that No one can clap by only one hand.

But it does not mean that women should not work outside and become only homemaker,

She should work but she have such type of job that she can spend her more time with family too.

Sorry If I hurt anyone, I write here my opinion only which I think. Because in today technical world women do not want to stay only as a housewife she want to do something different, she want to help her family, her husband financially and she do that. Women know their responsibilities very well and they follow them only the need require sometimes is to support her.

Thank you.

Once you understand that a relationship is just for namesake. Leave I t. Why should you sacrifice self respect and blindfold society and live as if it's your fate and go on? So divorce is inevitable to live freely. But post divorce. It's quite difficult if you don't have a job. Especially if it's a woman with children. So if you are an employed you can live with your head held high and raise your children well. So women empowerment is good. So both are needed. And one cannot be solely blamed for another.

Above all a good relation is based on love, respecting each other, caring and trust and of course compromise and sacrifice is also needed.

A good couple should be God fearing too and raise their offspring well together.

At Least when you bid goodbye to world you can be happy that you had a wonderful family and your part was clear.

In my point of view, women's empowerment is beneficial for all women because it encourages them to do something for themselves. Now, women can do whatever they want no one can't stop them from doing anything. That's why we see women give gold medals for us. In the past period, women have no rights and freedom to do anything whatever she wants in her life women in the past period lives there live like a prisoner but today scenario is totally changed women have a right to raise her voice. We can't say that it increases the divorce rate is totally dependent on the misunderstanding between each other like and dislike.

What's the right meaning of empowering women? - Competing with men? I don't think so.

"Can't we have educated women in our home? Can't we have educated mothers?".

Its true that there WAS a time when women were disrespected and ill treated. They were deprived of education. They were not treated equal to men. But times have changed drastically and things are different now.

Now, Like the parts of a machine or like the parts of our body, every body has a specific job to do in our society. And somebody rightly said "No work is Small".

So with more and more women neglecting their primary job of being a good homemaker (the essence and base strength of a healthy society) and taking up jobs which a man can do with much less effort than a woman the balance of the society is getting disturbed.

So, In my views, women empowerment has somehow played a vital role in increasing divorce rates in India.

I think women empowerment and relationship status are completely different from each other. Empowerment is not the cause of divorce in present day rather domestic violence does. The point is before due to lack of empowerment women can't gather the courage to fight against the violence.

But now a days they have the capability and courage to do that. So in order to decrease the no. of divorce we have to decrease domestic violence instead of blaming women empowerment.

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.

Hi guys, this is Surya.

Women empowerment Is not the issue. The main Issue is ego. If our wife is earning more than ourselves then we feel Ashamed and Fight with each other. And nowadays Women is Working in every field and doing great jobs. And I am happy for this But In modern age, Women not want to compromise in any situation that is the main issue for divorce. If we want to live happily we have to be Compromisable. Then No possibly of divorce. That's all.

Thanks for listening me so patiently.

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.
