Changes in the bylaw clarify part of why divorce was on the climb, but it does not enlighten the whole story. While the law was varying, culture was also altering. Women became a sturdy presence in the labor force. They no longer depended on their husbands to sustain them. This freedom allowed them to leave a miserable marriage and still afford for themselves. Divorce also became more tolerable. The blame and burden of the old divorce laws were vanished. As more couples on bad terms, divorce progressively became an ordinary part of life.

Your father is right now divorce cases are increasing day by day even the marriage percentage is less on daily basis but divorce rate is high. Not only in love marriages but in arrange marriage also divorce cases are increasing.

This is absolutely very disturbing. Well I don't want to judge but then in my opinion one reason there is it includes womanizing or betrayal who are the type of person that is not really family oriented but then the one who wants to date as many as they can. Other reasons maybe about violence as well.

well, sorry to hear this. The reason why there were few divorce in asian countries because 80% of Asian women give way at all time. The value of family togetherness is very strong. The Asian women usually hold on strongly to keep the family for the sake of the children, which usually ending up to self sacrificing of ego and pains. and because divorce is also legal in most western countries. so if they don't like the marriage, then they don't, then divorce.

Yeah thats true divorce rate a bit too high in western countries, there are few reasons behind it according to me see people are not taking their patners seriously they make commitments so easliy just on the basis of attractions and infactuations and oviously these feeling does not last for long so they broke up easily, and in earlier times womens were partially dependent on their husbands for financial and other supports so taking a divorce decision meant a lot to them since it was a bit too difficult to go and make your living on your own but nower days womans are self made they can do anything on their own like men so they have started living their lives the way they want if they feel pressurised in their married life they go for an independent on easily without even worrying about financial support and yeah why it is common in western countries and uncommon in asian culture because in asian or indian cultures, marriage means a commitment between two families where parents take decisiions in majority which really last long, and divorces are least common and thing that are not common or things are have a bad social image are practiced less in society but in western countries it is quite common or can say in trend so they dont carry a bad public image as such. There are many reasong indeed hope these were enough.
