Women Empowerment - A Cause for Increasing Divorce Rate in India

According to me, women empowerment is making women aware of their actual rights. I don't think so that empowerment leads to divorce. Divorce are the results of not cooperating each other, trust, respect, understanding and much more.

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.

To empower women education is the best weapon because if we educate a man then we are educating an individual but if we educate a woman then we are educating the whole family. After educating the women they will know the right to equality and the right to equal opportunity and they will get equal status in society then after we can see the dream of a developed nation.

Women empowerment is not only a cause of divorce, but its a cause of suicide amongst men, senior citizen abuse & lack of proper parenting of children.

A women who is educated working and is & married into a liberal family is already empowered or equal.

All these biased laws in name of empowerment only bring out the evil in them & men suffer in turn. They cheat, abuse father in law mother in law, separate father from child, take away money & ornaments from husbands home but not much can be done.

Hi friends,

I may correct your points for given topic. In India where the society has divided the family into some parts after the marriage. After marriage the husband in India usually works and the women take care of the children. Moreover to run a family both social and economic balance is needed so the society has done the work that economically the family would be run by man and social care would be taken by the woman.

But if the women empowerment goes on like this only then this balance would be disturbed and it may lead to increase in divorce.

Hello friends, women empowerment is not the reason for increasing divorce rates in India. Now women are empowered so that they know about the world and don't want to live in relationships which they think has no meaning. It is better to get separated than to live in relationships which causes harm to both people lives.

Women empowerment is to create awareness in women regarding their rights. Were, divorce happens because of lack of trust or cooperation between two people. So I think women empowerment is not get related with the divorce rate.

How can women empowerment cause increase divorce rate. It's both male and female are involved in the marriage relation ship. When women got married, both are equal partners in their pros and cons either family, kids, professional. Women has additional more and more responsibilities of kids, home, health, profession etc. In these taking care I strongly say most of the men don't share their equal responsibility and this is one of the reason. I say that when women is getting more responsibilities she has to be understood by the family members and she should get mental and physical support to run the family.

Greetings All !!

Yes, it is right that women's empowerment is working as a catalyst to increase the rate of divorce in India but if we go in-depth about the reason we may understand the situation.

In the early days, women were not literate and they do not allow to go outside the house. They did not have options other than their family maintenance.

So, they had to compromise whatever was the situation. This compromise was mostly from one side i.e. women's side.

Nowadays, women are becoming literate and working. Also, they are successful in each and every field as much as men. Now, they have the option to live their life in their own way. As women is empowered, they want equality in society whether it is workplace or home. Women expect compromise from men and their family side.

Sometimes in-laws are also not supportive as women expect their family with them as she grown up. At the other side, male inherit thoughts can not be changed in a day- like kitchen help and housework are not men's jobs, men's egos may be hurt by talking their wives with male colleagues or by their wife's success. These thoughts are not in the control of men that should be understood by women. How a hundred of years thought can change in some decade of years. The evolution of thoughts will take time.

Everyone wants freedom and to live happily and peacefully. So, she starts to compare worsened married life with what can she make life with her ability. Now she has one more option of self-dependent. She can earn herself, she can take care of herself and she can live as she wants. So she has to choose divorce. She does not compromise as her mother or grandmother did.

In this situation, both persons should understand the situation, try to mould themselves according to the partner's wish if it is ethically right. They should respect each other's opinions. After keeping their personal ego aside, they should think about how can they change for each other. They should understand how can a person who has been living in a different environment for 25-30 years, change suddenly for you. If compromise will not happen from both sides, divorce will happen.

Usually, women respect those men who treat them equally. Women also need to understand that their short-time efforts, love and respect can save their longtime married life. If both will treat each other equally with respect, only married life can run. Divorce happens due to clashes of two different thoughts i.e. women's empowerment and inherit thoughts of men.

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.
