can not bear a child? Then the husband wanted to file divorce, since you can't give him a child. Is this a concrete reason to end the relationships? If it happens, then the famous vow: "'til death do us apart" became a broken vow for the married couple.

Hi, It is not fair to break relationship for the reason that wife can not bear a child. If they are in true love they don't want to divorce. In our neighborhood there is a couple which is spending their life happily together for many years without having any child. They haven't adopted any child. But adopting a child is a godd option for the couples having no child.

Hi roshigo and shavkat, this is very sad, this shouldn´t happen. I heard somebody teach that love most be for the partner, with kids or without kids. Many things happen in life, but we should try to have arguments to help fight unfair arguments. Don´t you think so? Blessings shavkat... dainy

Not in my world. Others may buy that, but where I'm from, you pledge your life to a woman, and she can't have kids, then you adopt a child, but you don't leave the women. You promised, and if your word means anything, you keep that promise.

If both love one another maybe that is not the valid reason a husband will file a divorce because his wife cannot bear child with him. There's some solution that can make their living happy even they don't have their own child. They might adopt kid from their nearer relatives or from the nearest orphanage.

I hope that men will think the same thing. If not, it is really bad to leave a wife for not bearing a child.

As what I have said, I they love one another, they can find ways to bear a child other that their own. They can have an adopted child if they want to.

I think it's a ground for a divorce. I heard that some men really divorced their wives due to that problem. That means, they really didn't love the women they married. They only after having their children. For those women, life is unfair. It's not their fault if they aren't capable to give birth. They also deserve to be loved. They should also be respected. Let's pray for those women that they still should find happiness in the end. They don't deserve such men.

I hope all women will be healthy and capable of giving birth. Who wants to be in this situation? Most of us want to have our own child to make our womanhood complete. We also want to experience the role of a mother. If we don't have any children, these two are impossible.

why not adopt a child?

If this ever happens, it only shows that the man doesn't really care for his wife. But most couples who failed to bear child usually adopt a child, and this clearly shows that most men stays with their wives even if they can't provide them with their own... Cheers and Happy mylotting!

Sure thing, it is! If they really love each other, nothing can break them. And with an adoption of a child, the bond is surely secured. Thanks for this nice discussion my friend, Hope I can relate more to your topics. Cheers and have a nice evening to you...

That isn't a good reason for a divorce. Apart from anything else, both men and women can be the one unable to reproduce. The vows would have been broken by filing for a divorce, regardless of the reason.

That is no reason for a divorce, only adultery is or I guess if you are Roman Catholic lying about the reason to get married, like saying you are fertile when you are not, or not intending trying to have children is a good reason for annulment from what I heard, but am not Roman Catholic so am not sure. The couple can always adopt even new borns , but to punish her because she cannot have children is the worse one can do, and it would make her feel more guilty even if there was no blame in her. The guy, if this is not a what if, sounds like a creep.

Why should the guy leave because a woman cannot bear children, they can always adopt. If its a child they want to love then adoption is always an option. Most people divorce over money or past problems they bring to a relationship. If a guy leaves his wife because she can't have kids then he's not a man but a coward, he should be there for his wife, not be against her.

I think that this must be something that is very hard to cope with, because having children is something that a lot of people want to do. I think that you would have to think about doing something like adopting or having a surrogate because most men could not have no children. I know that if my partner could not have children, I would have to try another way because I wouldn't want to live without children. It is something that means a lot to people and this means that it isn't always something that can be compromised on.

If a man divorces his wife because she can't bear children, he didn't love her in the first place. It's no legitimate excuse, but I think she would be well rid of him rather than him of her. Who wants to be married to someone who only wants you for what you can do for him rather than because he loves you?

yes, i have seen such cases, the man want divorce because the women is not able to give a child, but this is really ridiculous, this shows the vows are just for name sake , and not a serious one,they just follow it as custom but don't take them seriously to heart. There are also some people who want to remarry for for children. After seeing such people we loose the hope on the marriage vows , and feel what for actually are they made. There should be some laws made doe women security , in such cases.

Hi friend, now a days divorce is quite common and couples are going to court for very silly reasons. But this kind of reasons are lame excuse, some persons are selecting their life partner in hurry manner without understanding and go for divorce with unwanted issues.

The natural way is the best possibility, but there are other options too, so I don't think it's necessary to file for divorce. They could try adopting a child or artificial insemination too. Are they sure that the woman is to blame, or could it be the husband?

i think there should be no problem when it comes to this. A woman, as society dictates should be able to bear child... but then it takes more than the woman to do that... and it should not always be that obvious that we are only putting the blame on the woman because i think a woman does not stop being a woman, or a wife when she is unable to bear a child. i guess when two people decides to fall in love the question of having a chold or not must not be the main concern right?

I guess it depends...the husband my sue for divorce and then marry some one else and find out that this woman can't get pregnant as well! I have known of some cases when is not the woman problem but the male...of course in certain societies that is never mention[ God forbid] but going back to the discussion if a couple decide to separate because they can;t have children then there was not much love in there after all!

From what I know, if a woman knows that she can not bear children and did not tell her husband about it,then it could be a ground for annulment. Well, at least that is how it is in our country.

There is a solution that a lot of people don't like. Adoption. There are so many kids with no parents, that would be unbelievably happy if someone chose to bring them into their family.
