Divorces must be banned in India.....?
these days divorce rates are rising.
People opt divorce even for small matters.some people think that they can get a 2nd partner,with no guarantee thay they will be gud spouses.....
Everyone should be aware that no one can be 100% perfect.then only they can lead a successful married life.we dont have perfect parents,siblings,etc.yet we live with them,love them,fight yet forgive them, and live with them forever..do we divorce them for anything?
why cant be the same with spouses?y this intolerance towards them if they are different in habits,personality etc?in case of husband wife quarrels we land up in the court.even though their relationship is considered v.sacred.no religion favours divorce.it's a man made law...
bonding doesnt happen in a day.It takes years & one has to grow,live & develop understanding in marriage.That's how the foundation of happy marriages is developed.Otherwise there are couples who get along very well initially but break up after many years,as in case of Amir Khan.
Compatibility & understanding don't come as a package.But today's generation wants to break up,just because they feel they don't match,even within few months of marriage,the way they may break up with their BF or GF.
Marital relation is deeper than relation b/w BF or GF.Just as a child who's born of a mother's womb grows closer to her by breast feeding,sleeping in her lap,learning to walk with her help,etc. & dats why relationshio b/w mother & child is everlasting.Same way,partners have to learn to come close to each other by growing together,facing challenges together,supporting each other,etc to make their relationship strong.
wen u plant a seed,it's to be nurtured with water,manure,fertilizers.It cannot become a strong tree in 1 day.Same way relationship has to be nurtured with love,care,compassion,etc.
if this is the trend,lets legalise live in relationships and ban marriages so that parents' time,money n fuel and not wasted in finding matches for their children and getting them married.it's they who suffer the most.And this way in live in relation, if partners feel they are incompatible,they can walk out without hurting parents or breaking any sacred bond.becoz in marriage while taking vows,we promise to god we we will live together under all circumstances.....breaking these vows are sins.
if system of divorce by mutual consent are banned,then partners will take each other more seriously as they will not have the option of walking out of marriage easily otherwise they break up over silly reasons like wife not wearing western clothes,husband is reserved,wife has pimples,etc.
divorces shud be granted only in case of cheating,extramarital affair all of which shud be proven.I also feel banning the system of divorce by mutual consent will make the couples realize sanctity of marriage.
Wat do you all say?Please share your opinion on this....................
Hi
thanks for your views
i'm not favouring marital abuse & total ban on divorces.only MUTUAL DIVORCES shud be banned.
sometimes partners abuse so that the other partner leaves himself.sometimes girls who have an affair may illtreat partner in to get quick divorce.if divorce laws are made stricter,partners will take each other more seriously.
many of u have said that partners shud break up if they dont love each other.in that case we shud rather have boy friends/girl friends so that we leave them easily after getting tired of them.the purpose of marriage is lifetime committment.if people get tired of spouses so soon,why do they get married at all?dont u think that partners also move out so easily nowadays also because they know that divorces are easier to get?
do we leave our children & parents if they are insane or alcoholic?we take them for professional help.is it mentioned in any marriage vow that partner shud be left if he turns insane/alcoholic.....i leave it to you to judge...

i AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY.
Divorce can be ok if there is cruelty ,abuse,fraud or promiscuity.But i understand that lots of couples breaks because of HMA 13 B (divorce by mutual consent).just for lack of willingness to adjust.
I read somewhere "Marriage is made in heaven by The God and every person liable to break this relation is sharing the sin."
The couple don't feel guilty while taking divorce with so called mutual consent because there is no god invited to the court which were invited while taking oath to be of each other forever at the time of wedding .

No, divorce should not be banned anywhere. Most of the problems you mentioned are depending on people's cultures, NOT b coz of law. People have become less God fearing & responsible now which is the major problem. Reform of human society is more important than framing laws to be obeyed by brutal police force which can't increase mutual love & affection between husbands & wives. Forced living together under one roof (only b coz of such a law demanded by you) without any lovely relation doesn't make a real couple. It is only pretending to be so, not the real one by heart & soul. Marriage must provide sufficient love & happiness between a husband & a wife. A ban on divorce can't provide that. It can give a hell like living condition for a couple. Do you know real meaning of marriage & a couple ?

It is not the law that matters - rather the partners. Laws are formulated on the basis of experience - in some cases divorce is the only solution. All your points are to be understood by the partners and not the law makers. People opting for divorce - do pay a hefty price for it - and in most cases it is a better of the worst choices. Statistics do point out towards discouraging divorce - but not by force but by choice. Best of luck.

I agree with u. Its' hard on all involved, even the parties consenting. And yes, in the bible, it is stated that u can only annul(divorce), in cases of adultery. But what about cases of abuse? Just because divorces would be banned, it won't keep a marriage together. People would live apart. Then eventually, one or the other will commit adultery. If they don't want to live together, they wont, u can't force them. If they do live together, one or the other may die. I speak from personal experience. My ex filed for annulment falsely based, so I countered with divorce, it's still pending. But if we lived together, he would've killed me, or he and his family would've driven me to kill myself.
When we lived apart, he told me I need not come to him. I went to him anyway, and he used me, in every way possible. And in return, I got torn to shreds emotionally, and physically. I pray no woman go through what I did, but I also thank God that that was ALL they put me through, as I hear many cases of spousal abuse far worse than mine. My ex didn't want to go to counseling. He didn't want to listen to my parents either on how to help us. He wanted me to listen to him and his parents only. I tried my best, but it wasn't good enough for him.
He dropped me home, and he went and saw a priest who knew my mom, and he just complained about me at length, yes, I did a lot wrong, but I'm not of the indian culture(he knew this prior to marriage), and he wouldn't listen to the priest when he would suggest solutions. My ex just wanted out, and wanted me to take all the blame for the marriage failing. In his and his family's mind, he was the perfect husband. But the priest said afterward(to my mom), that boy doesn't want HER, he only wants HER $ And that was mainly why I got abused, we wouldn't adhere to their demands(dowry was paid when asked), they wanted more. This is y dowry's illegal, but it's still done.
Long story short, divorce is wrong, but in some cases, if the parties are determined to split up or die trying, then isn't divorce a better option? But parents should stop manipulating/forcing, kids into marriage just because it's the right thing to do. That also happens a lot, and the couple just cant work it out for the sake of their folks or anyone, so they split.
Amir Khan and Reena Dutta were married for a decade and a half, but they split. I bet they had a wonderful marriage for a LONG time. Amir moved on, but can u imagine the inner turmoil they both must have since a union that lasted this long and produced kids ended? In this case, don't u think it's better for couples who see the end in the near future to just let go w/o trying? I"ve heard of couples splitting up after 40 yrs, n u wonder y, it also makes me happy that I wasn't in a loveless marriage for that long.

Good idea, hard to put on reality.
You make an agreement my lawyers will break it, you promise me no one can break it.
Let people live their own life, there are lot of problems in married life, that is why couples divorce, time has come when women are independent and earning they want their own freedom.
It is all a question of situations.

I think that divorces should be done if the person does not love the other person. Its a personal choice. why be with someone that you dont love? Divorces are a personal opinion and I dont think they should ban it AT ALL !

Nope, what you have to do is ban forced or arranged marriages.
Being married to someone you don't know is a surefire way to bring about divorce.
