Basically marriage is a life time contract in India and is taken by the parties as a duty (Aashrama dharma)-not just a licence to sex. In some cultures it is a contract involving a certain amount of money in case of';divorce';. In Judaism and Catholicism divorce is not allowed. However the real reason for higher incidence of divorce in west is that there is hardly any family life - which counsels and helps resolve disputes between H %26amp; W. The divorce rate is on the rise in India and soon may surpass the west. The sanatana Dharma does not ban divorce as it is mistakenly portrayed.Why there are so many Divorce cases in the west countries? Do u think it is happening of Freedom, human rights
...'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement...'
'And Jesus answered them and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.' 1.
Having freedom and human rights has little to do with it.
'Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.' 2.
added: The freedom %26amp; human rights arguments begs the question. Whether you enter marriage freely or by arrangement you may still be discontent or happy. Humans are incapable of making perfect choices for themselves or others. The freedom to divorce allows for higher divorce rate, but statistics are not the problem. Could divorce stats be an indicator that people are becoming more miserable to each other? Or Do you think discontent marriages have been going on just the same all along and nobody had the stats to measure it by?
Or is God out of the family picture more and more?
Is this a measure of sin on the incline?
Perhaps people marrying into free countries then divorce/annual upon full citizenship? (To gain freedom, Human Rights)
Good question. There is merit in everybody's answers.
Partially, I think you could say that it has something to do with Freedom and Human Rights. In some countries and cultures a marriage is held so sacrosanct that the idea of a divorce is alien. However, that does not mean that the marriage is healthy or that maintained in an appropriate manners. While in many of those cultures, there is simply no way to end the marriage without significant, if not permanent ramifications to the couple involved. Whereas in the West, whether good or bad, the stigma surrounding divorce is not as pronounce. And none of this touches on those cultures and belief systems where a woman is not allowed the right of self-determination, but that subject has already been hotly disputed in other venues and I'm sure will be brought up by other people seeking to give their opinion on this matter.
Having said that, though, many countries in the West have become too eager to seek a ';quick fix'; to our problems. If you marriage has become difficult, don't worry about trying to fix it, simply divorce your spouse and find another. In which cases you have people trading in spouses faster than they trade in cars.
