Is Divorce common in India?
                     IS DIVORCE COMMON IN INDIA?
INTRODUCTION
For Indians getting separated or divorced is 
never an easy thing, especially if someone 
has truly invested in their relationship. 
Indian relationships are just not formed 
considering two people, there are a lot of 
other factors that are involved too such as 
societal pressure, and families, and getting 
apart becomes even more difficult if children 
are involved.

WOMEN ARE BECOMING 
INDEPENDENT
One of the main reasons why divorce rates 
are getting increased is because Indian 
women have grown a lot in the past few 
years financially, socially, and economically. 
There is no great dependency on the other 
person for these things.

INFIDELITY AND TRUST
Since we have grown up listening that the 
foundation of any relationship is trust. Once 
the thread of trust is broken, it never gets 
back to normal or usual. Infidelity is rising at 
such a high pace in India.

LACK OF INTIMACY
Intimacy in a relationship is a vital thing to 
sustain a relationship for a longer period of 
time. Now intimacy is not about sexual 
pleasure, not is also about emotional 
pleasure, which is just deep conversation, 
holding hands, and spending more quality 
time with each other.

TAKING FOR GRANTED
We have listened enough to the complaints 
of couples that during the initial phase of 
their relationship he/she gave more time, 
and used to put in more effort. But, now 
they have stopped doing everything which 
made them feel special at that point.

FAMILIES OR FRIENDS 
INTERFERENCE
Today women and men have no longer living 
with an old-fashioned lifestyle or thoughts. 
But, we still cannot disagree with the fact 
that we are still living in a practical society 
where marriage should be in a certain way. 
where couples should know their so-called 
limits.

INDIAN MARRIED COUPLES 
ON THE VERGE OF DIVORCE
While India’s divorce rates are relatively 
lower, the numbers have doubled over the 
past two decades, according to a United 
Nations report. The popular response to this 
has generally been negative.

DEBATE SURROUNDING 
DIVORCE
A lot of the debate surrounding divorce 
comes down to one thing – children. While 
studies suggest that having married/co-
habiting parents are better for the well-
being of children and divorce can be 
disruptive, this only speaks of children of 
married/cohabiting parents who are able to 
provide happy, safe homes.

STATISTICS
In India, there continues to be no legislation 
against marital rape. The National Crime 
Records Bureau’s data revealed that in 
2020, 19 women died each day due to 
dowry-related violence. 
Recent NFHS-5 data shows that nearly 30 
per cent of women in India have been 
victims of domestic violence, and this figure 
is expected to have been much higher if not 
for severe underreporting.
