Why Indian Women Scared of Divorce??

well said!

Divorce is regarded as a stigma, but only on women, nobody questions the men or gossips abt their failed marriage! its a sad and hypocritical state in indian society!

but slowly yet, things are changing! main thg i suppose is family needs to block out what d so-called society n outsiders say, n just concentrate on their family and children's happiness!

hopefully, thru these tv seriels a better message is protrayed to change the views of general public!

Because divorcees or even single unmarried women are a taboo. Ppl talk nonsense about them. In my office, there is one divorcee lady, my colleague pointed out at her with such contempt that she is a divorced lady. Noone thinks of incompatibility issues or even that guy could have been bad. Directly they tend to blame the woman for not sticking to her marriage. Another lady of my acquaintance is a divorcee who got remarried. She is also seen as some characterless woman by some ppl. Ofcourse they won't go and tell her this directly. But contempt still exist. Some ppl fear these kind of ppl and their scandalous talks and don't divorce even if they decide to live separate. Legal separation is something some are very scared of due to such ppl.

If the girl's parents are supportive, then it will pose less problems for the girl. In metros, a divorced woman does not face much problem. Maybe in small towns.

But the reasons have to be genuine, not frivolous. Like hubby forgetting wedding anniversary and coming late due to office work etc.

A very thoughtful topic, Debbie.

Dear leavesandwaves, I believe

"DIVORCE IS AS MUCH REQUIRED PRACTICE FOR SOCIETY AS MARRIAGE ITSELF".

It could prove life saver for some.

However you are right, it should be used only in extreme conditions.

1. Partner cheating.

2. Partner physically torturing, abusing

3. Extreme harassment

4. Impotency

5. Insanity

6. Mutual consent (reason not known)

Whatever I wrote above is as per Indian law.

And the above condition is true for both the parties.

If partner meaninglessly sides with his parents to torture his wife or simply looks on.
Mental harassment like not talking for months, indifference etc.

its mostly because of the society that we live in !

my friend got divorced a year back...it was done on mutual consent...then she left the country to pursue higher education...she is very happy now 😊...her parents, friends have fully supported her.

i think parents are now more aware & do support their daughters if they are in serious trouble.
