Is India Competing With US in Divorce Rates?

Earlier our India was known to our culture, tradition and its social values but today it seems everyone's ego is taking high value in society with the growing money in everyone's pocket. Earlier people were thinking a marriage as sacred relation but now a days it seems like a Cloth Shop. When you find it not fit with time, you think of it changing now. The increased status with money increasing family's ego and people do not think before spoiling any marriage, other partener's life even if she/he wanted to retain the sacred relation. Now a days even elders/old people in family also supporting divorces just for small disputes in family instead of making the couple understand the problem and resolve the disputes. The ego is taking the place of moral values of the society. ''God Fear'' and ''God's Justice'' are two words which are disappearing from today's society but at the same time these people do not hesitate to pray God to get them divorce from their spouse even knowing that God made only marriages in heaven and did not make the divorce ! Why today's society has more problems in only relationships compared to other crimes ? It seems like we are competing US in divorce rates more than technology ! ------------------------------------------------------- Save Marriage, Save Life, Save Culture

 hi,

meena i agree with ur view that today the no of divorces has been raised,  and the old members of the family r supporting divorces, ur observation is correct  but no need to compare with united america, its not that we r following them bliendly,  we r appling our conscience and if we think that two of us cant go too long then its better to reach at some point and amicably choose our own roads rather than to force one to follow the way which u want. 

sorry if it hurts u but in my opinion there is no wrong in it . have a great day .

 I agree with the opinion of Prakash. There is no point in going to the extreme. We should not compare with the divorces happening in India with those in USA. Though the marriages may be made in heaven,  but if they are making your life on earth a hell then it is better to part away rather than continuing it just for the sake of culture and tradition & leading an unhappy frustrated life. The divorces in India are generally taken after careful thought and the courts in India are also in favor of reconciliation and reluctant to grant it easily.

deall prakash, Can u tell me - is there any marriage on this earth which are not having any issue in life? I think every couple faces some issues at some of time in their life - but does that mean when you face issue couples should separate despite of other spouse is not ready for divorce? Its okay in mutual divorce but I feel now a days the people want to escape from such life issues and get rid of everything when they face issues. People now a days get bored with routine life' they want fast change in life. Defintely if marriage is becoming hell for both of them then its quite thoughtful but when I see just over small disputes, ego problems people take the marriage to hell. And if we as society not helping them then there will not be any difference between US divorce and India divorce rates. I have seen lawyers also just for the their fees, do not try to reconcile the matter instead they try to spoil the relation more than ever. I am not talking about all lawyers but it is common trend now a days then only court is not responsible for making these couple reconcile the matter. Why only court? Why cant we as society? Definitely if the matter is gone to extreme stage then it is definitely given a thought but if you see todays trend just on the name of compatibility or falling in love with different person are the reason behind the divorce and elders too support without giving a thought at the life of other partners , their childrens. Isnt each one's responsibility to help society also? Why only court should take part in reconcilation?

meena,  couple in marriage is called as the soulmate,  if u r marring a right person but if u r marring a wrong person then it is defineatly the hell for the both, and they will be called as soul taker, 

 

if two people r fighting it doesnot mean that they dont love each other, and if they r not fighting then it doesn't mean that they love each other,

 

secondly u said if the other fall in love with some one else..... boss  it is called as the extra maritial affair and in law it is called adultery. whr r u ? madam  and u stil want to continue with such marriage soooooory i would not support such kind of marriage.    sooory again coz now i know now i have hurt u.

I am not a person to get hurt for negative thinkings of people at some matter ! Well and I never told about extra marital affair - in fact I was telling one of the reason behind the divorce which now a days becoming trend - different person in a married person's life but seems u r taking it diff way. And right person and wrong definitions are made by us - one is not eligible to test first whether other is right or not for him/her that too even after marriage ! This is a society of India !

Only weak minds take divorce. Weak minds cann't think and take hasty decisions.

Meena,

These are the side effects of the so-called womens liberisation along with the machine gun given in hands of the illetrate womens. Sorry for this language, but the womens are misusing the facalities much more than it was actually to be used. There is no patience and on the ego, they file the false cases. This is the seed of the divorce. Now a days husbands are taking divorce from wife even if they file the false Domestic Voilence case against them and their family members. These filing of the cases puts the husbands family into terror mode and see the wife as the family terrorists. The trust is completely broken. With all these anti families and anti mens laws, the divorce rate is going to go high. The time is near for Civil Dis obidence movement.

I completely agree with you Hardik and Sathya Prakash - 498a issues too make men file divorce case. I am neither talking from only women point of view not I am against of men attitude - I am just raising a concern of increased divorce rates being the part of this society. We can not always expect everything from law/govt to see our issues but we at bottom level - who are having the issues - should only start from our end to look into these matters and help them sort out if they are in condition of sortable. Again about 498a case, I just wanted to point out that - if a woman goes to this level - one too can see at our family if we have done anything wrong. Sometimes even a small disputes between woman and her in - laws goes on increasing day by day which results in such cases. No one tries to supress the ego and try to resolve the matter at early stage. I have seen some cases very closely - when I was in police station one day, one woman and her parents had come to lodge a police complaint against her in-laws because they had thrown her out of their home. The police there convinced them not to file such case and wait for some days more till the in-laws call her back. Believe me those poor people listened what those police said and went back. So every case is not the same. If we too act upon divorce matters to sort out the matter within the family/society level itself, many lives can be saved because we are the part of that society...

Respected members, Can anyone tell me what is the equivalent word of Divorce in 'Hindi/Sanskrit' languages, as 'Divorce' in english and 'Talaq' in Urdu. Is it 'Parityakta'?

Has anywhere in our 'shastra'  'vedas' 'granths' anything written about divorce.

‘Great Raja Dashrath’ and ‘Great Raja Ram’ followed the verdict/wishes of ‘Mata Kaikeyi’, did anybody opposed her? Had ‘Raja Dashrath’ divorced ‘Mata Kaikeyi?

Divorce pains more to a female. Society still blames them, since there are so many standards has been set for them.

Only thing is we have forgotten sacrifice.
