'Divorce rate is increasing in India.' We have been hearing this for at least twenty years. Just read it again. And some people have seen the statistics and said that this is worrying for the whole society. Worrying, what work bro? Let's accept that as much happiness as hearing about someone's marriage is not the same at the time of divorce. But check the past. Divorce has happened before, and will continue to happen in the future. A woman abandoned by her husband would live in Pierre for years, and die there. Somewhere in the presence of one wife, the husband would marry another, or if no child was born or only daughters were born, the man would marry another after declaring the woman a criminal and his family members also supported him. All these cases were also a kind of divorce, right? Perhaps worse, because it did not exempt the wife. Now it has the courage to ask for freedom. So what's wrong with that? If we talk about today, if the population has increased, marriages are also increasing. And if the number of marriages increases, the cases of divorce also increase. So there is no need to be too shocked to see the number of divorce cases registered in the court. And even if we admit that the rate of divorce has slightly increased compared to before, then everything fluctuates with time. Divorce cases have increased, but the number of girls committing suicide due to grief in in-laws has decreased, is it also a fact or not? Divorce is called corruption by many people. But often, not only for women, but also for men, divorce is a solution, not contamination. But no, those people who have not got a rail under their feet, still get irritated by the word 'divorce'. Makes various interpretations and analyzes without knowing about the other person's situation. And in the whole thing the new generation does not miss the opportunity to be held responsible, rather the culprit. Start with his favorite phrase – the new generation has lost stamina. When the elders who are suffering in their family life start singing the song of endurance, they feel like asking that what you have endured, what should your son or daughter do? It happened that we were sad, so why do you escape from it? While condemning the youth for everything, uncles and aunties should also be aware that whether the generation is old or new, no one likes to break up their marriage. Every boy and girl thinks the same while getting married and hopes that this relationship will last for life. This is a natural feeling, and exists in every generation. And then when there is a rift in the relationship, both parties try to mend it in their own way. The younger generation is also not ashamed to go to a professional marriage counselor to save the marriage. I know two young couples who had a bitter disagreement, but instead of divorce they took the route of temporary separation. Decided to think about staying away from each other for six-eight months. In one of these cases, the boy went abroad with a project. Within four months, the wife reached there and according to the latest news, Chakachki has cooked khichdi in Apas. And the idea of divorce is dropped now. The separation period of the second couple is still going on. Finally, even if those people get a divorce, it has to be believed that they have tried everything to save their marriage. About the increasing cases of divorce, a scholar recently said that the problem is more common in nuclear families. Oh really? Will all the husband and wife be happy in a joint family? Even today, cases of women being tortured for dowry, stoves bursting and burning to death only in the house, or burning themselves to death due to exhaustion, are heard mostly in joint families. A great sage said that fifty percent of divorcees are from love marriages. Well, hearing this, the enemies of love and love marriage have come to their senses. Their number is very large in Gujarat. But asking the less intelligent people that the remaining fifty percent are arranged marriages. That is, marriage is the root of divorce, so what can we do? And finally a friend – about twenty-five years ago, fed up with an irresponsible husband, she sought a divorce without demanding any maintenance. The husband gave in but finally taunted while parting, 'Now you will find happiness, won't you?' The woman's answer was, 'I don't know happiness, but peace will be found.'
