If one thinks that in India divorce rate are low and that is because of our family value system etc, they are flying kites. Give every woman 25 lac rupees, her kids and protection from the husband. Then 75% women will leave their husband. Most of the women stay with their husband as they are not economically sound and they have no where to go. This is beautiful example: as soon as women become economically sound they can decide they do not take any shit from anyone.
I have seen so many cases where couples are not happy but the marriage goes on.
The fact of the matter is we criticize USA and western countries for their divorce rate, and want to believe that we are great and our family values are great. It%u2019s not true the only difference between west and us is that our women are dependent and there they are independent.
