But I think above all of them and most fundamental reason is the mindset. Earlier, a woman will accept his husband as The Final man in her life. She believed that this the only man I have to live with (willingly or unwillingly), this is the only husband I have got for this life. This mental block would have been the major reason for not even thinking of anybody else (or any way out of it). On the other extreme is American attitude that "why should I suffer?" is the prime reason for not compromising in any relation.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512772451753364882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-22279306574174771702009-03-09T21:14:00.000-07:002009-03-09T21:14:00.000-07:00I agree with Saurabh.

With or without kids, they have jobs, they have a life outside the boundary of their homes, and that gives them the exposure, and many times, the need, to break free.<BR/><BR/>I would dare say that the divorce rate is much higher where the women have their own careers, and probably as low as before in the villages and in cases where women have no jobs!Siddheshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307244677085766661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-2536549130849919882009-03-09T18:36:00.000-07:002009-03-09T18:36:00.000-07:00When you say "earlier" (at the start of your disco...When you say "earlier" (at the start of your discourse), do you mean before 1955? Divorce as an option for hindus to terminate a marriage came into being in 1955 with the hindu marriage act. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing in hinduism/vedas regarding divorce. Why? It may be partly explained by the economic necessity argument, but I believe there are other (more spiritual) reasons as well.kakkajeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063494832583174734noreply@blogger.com
