Divorce is certainly not a happy condition for anyone and especially for a woman who has been divorced due to some extreme situations. And above all what our Indian society has to give to such women; only doubt, indifference, blames and disrespect! The way our Indian society treats and perceives the divorced women is not so welcoming. A woman belonging to the urban areas at least is able to face the indifference because she is educated and independent and she can answer the society on her terms but the women who belong to backward classes and areas they have to face so many criticisms of the family, relatives, friends and neighbors. Basically the Indian society perceives the divorced woman as the main culprit and tend to feel that it is always the woman who is responsible for the break up of such a pious relationship of marriage. Society expects the woman, to make the ‘adjustments’ in this relationship. And simply neglect to see the faults of the other partner too. No matter there are so many mistakes of the male partner, at the end the lady is only held responsible for all the havoc created in the family and the relationships, and she is accused of not being responsible, and sensitive to cope up with her spouse and hence she was divorced. The perception of the Indian society is still very narrow that needs to be broadened with the passage of time. Divorce is a dolorous condition for a woman who needs to be consoled and accepted with compassion by the family and other members of the society. what do you think about this?
