Divorce in the Society

Nowadays you might have heard lot of cases of cruelty faced by women. Even a newly wed wife is not spared for such incidents. Incidents have come to notice that after 1-2 years of marriage, the wife is being divorced by the husband or is burnt in the name of dowry or with other reason. Almost everyday you can watch such news on television.

Cases of divorce are on the rise in our society, it seems that we are catching the western countries in terms of divorce. You will be surprised that most of the cases of divorce are based on mental cruelty. Husbands and wives are increasingly citing only mental cruelty as the grounds for divorce. And in most cases, they get the verdict in their favor. Mental cruelty has such a wide area that many behavioral aspects can be brought under its umbrella. In a recent case, marriage of a couple came to end, with the Court upholding that the husband was at the receiving end of his wife’s cruel behavior because the wife did not want to cook for him, share his bed or bear his child. In that case the wife was cooking food for herself and not for husband, which would be an annoyance and may lead to mental cruelty, but it seems wife’s thinking was that she is also an officer.

One thing could not be understand here, why these couples got married, if they could not carry their marriage. May be it’s the infatuation between them for time being which compel them to tide the knot. Later on they found that they both are not made for each other. But what about those cases, where the parents arrange marriage. After sometime other side demands dowry, torture the woman and finally they divorced. In these cases, the women faced mentally tortured. Whether you live in the same house, but you are not being talked, the behavior of other family members are not good against you, all these come in mentally torture. It has been seen that husband, whom the woman thought her life partner is also against her. If such is the case how a wife can carry her life with him.

In some cases, the previous love also plays a major role in divorcing the couples. That is on the rise nowadays. I know one such case of my colleague, before marriage he was in love with someone. But the parents of my friend fixed his marriage with another girl, we told him he should tell his parents but it could not, even the girl whom he loves was ready to tell her and his parents, but the boy was not having such guts. The reason the boy got married with the girl his parents decided and the girl with her parents choice. We attended his marriage and his lover was also present in the marriage, we can understand the feelings the girl at that time. Brave girl!!!. What happened next was the boy did not like the wife chosen by his parents, though there is no fault of her. He did not talk to her and share her any thing, and it seems that he was punishing her. No fault of her. After sometime, we heard that the parents of the boy filed a case for divorce.

Another incidents on rise are wife killing her husband with the help of her lover, don’t understand what’s going on, just for a little charm, for some money, for a short pleasure we kill our own whom we decided to be our life partner. Though they might regret later on. I think the responsibility of both husband and wife is same. They should respect each other; at least for their children sake, they should keep each other intact.
