Why is divorce rates in INDIA is less Compared to that of Other countries????

so is that your real photo you really good

we indians are very much senstive about relation. n we knows the value of relations. Relations it really metters

I think because of culture....Indians are very serious about relationship and they know the real meaning of it

I would think it is more because of how they are looked down upon by the rest of society if they are divorced.

in india there r no contract bases marriages and there r very traditional towards there basics and once they marriage they will live togethere for life long, before there marriage they promise each other to live lifelong for that word they face so many problems but they dont get divorce, this is indian's nature sonia

Because the wife is not allowed to think for herself from what I have seen & learned. She has to put up with whatever he gives, or she & her whole family will suffer.

That may be one reason..secondly I feelthat being divorced is a status one avoids..single parenting also is a social problem...so both tend to compromise a lot...I think it is this factor which is keeping the divorce rate lesser as compered to other countries...

I feel it is because here in india it's not only marriage of two individuals but two families get involved too. And here the familes ties are important. Moreover the couple may be modern in their outlook and way of life but still follows indian traditions and customs. I think moreover indians are religious, spiritual and beelive that marriage is sacred insitution which needs to be preserved. Besides couples are more committed here, there is trust, understanding. Besides there is stigma associated with being a divorcee, as divorces are discouraged by the society. Moreover indian couples are not ready to become single parents as life can be tough esp. indian context. But sadly divorces are rising even in india too esp. in cities as we copy the west.

Hi Sonia Interesting thought you have there! I am not whether it is because of the arranged marriages, but when I came to India on holiday, we got really friendly with our guide (a nice Indian boy of about 19) He took us to his home and we met his family, and I mean ALL his family. That was what amazed me.... All the cousins etc etc etc Here in the UK we dont seem to do that any more, not to that extent anyway. I am sure that in the past when the family used to get together for all the Sunday Lunches and Social gatherings it used to help to cement the family together, and so divorce was not so rife. Now..... I am afraid in the UK it is 1 in 3 marriages end in divorce!

well indians r very sentimental( or shall i say were). we always used to give importance to relations and understanding...but now a days i find its not the case. when 2 pwersons marry, we r expected to ive life, with understandings, respect, love and this is wat is a family life, but the stress of modern life and western influence and many other factors r eroding the values wfor which we stood for. earlier understanding was the key, now a days its...i'm right and ur wrong, which i thnk is not accoring to our value. and now a days its fashion to kick off our traditional values fo which we stood for

really? i didnt know that? i would say that nowadays divorce has become so common that when two people decided to get married, there's nothing much to think (especially whirlwind romance) cos they knew that if they dont get along, they can just get divorce. that is why some people divorce even after less than 1 year of marriage

sonia is that your real photo you really look good

thats bcuz ppl in india feel that marriage is somethin that shud last a lifetime! pretty emotional ppl. they share responsibilities n can even make compromises when required.

I would say India is a developing country in all respects .. as we keep on moving ahead on the road of development .. we will have most of the social problems which are existing in the developed countries now.. I would say oppulence, self dependency, libration and ego will attract evils of the developed countries... its just like we are following them... its worries me..

Indians are more emotionally attached as compared to persons of other countries, probably this is the reason

I think we Indians believe in the "sonstitution of marriage" and hence try our best not break it till it crosses all limits. Another reason may be - Indian women can take more bullshit than their western counterparts, which could be good as well as bad (for the woman in question). Even in today's world many women believe in the philosophy that the husband is your God and no matter what happens, you have no choice but to tolerate him (and his habits). Nonetheless, suppose one such wife decides to leave her hubby....where does she go? Her parents won't accept her and she's not independent enough to live by herself. Therefore she opts for the "doormat" life that she's been leading. I don't know....have I been able to convey the message or did I sound too confusing? :-))

Divorce rate in India is less due to the culture and better understanding among family members. Respect for elders and less modernization.

Arrange Marriage is also nice reason Indians are followed there relationship with purely & seriously.& it happened only in india

Because of compromise. Respect to each others. Family background. Our culture etc keep us far from divorce. Good submect you have selected Sonia.

because i think people are not that corageous enough to fight the situation they live in!!!We indians are so taloernt that it make as Cowards!! Isnt it so.. The gandhi theory has realy rusted the coutry.. And if we remain like this we will just keepon suffering... Please Indains its very easy to just sit back and suffer and say we are Gandhi followers..Forget him!!! Rise and fight back ...!!
