Institution of Marriage is Demolishing in India

Indian matrimony has always been associated with words like eternity, lifelong, everlasting and forever. It is the most beautiful relation that completes a man and a woman as they spend all their lives together with each other. Though it is not so easy to establish a lasting relation, Indian couples have been hugely successful in doing so. The fact not only fascinates everyone but also encourages them to do the same.

As rosy it may sound, it has changed in today’s times being no more an incorrigible relation. It can now be easily influenced by even the most insignificant and trivial of the issues like incompatibility, lack of cleanliness, bringing work home, lack of time, watching television, communication gap and so on. With women becoming fully aware of their rights and demanding equality, marital tensions are mounting up as males are not able to handle this empowerment. Adultery, extra-marital affairs, ego clashes, suspicion and lack of faith are constantly becoming reasons for the increasing number of marriage break ups.

It is interesting to note as figures reveal that chances of break up in love marriages are higher than in arranged marriages. The records state that at least 50% love marriages and 30% arranged marriages in India end up in divorce. Breaking marriages is not unheard of anymore as rising numbers of couples are opting for separation these days. Out of 1,36,000 marriages solemnized in Delhi in 2009, 10,000 ended up in divorce courts. Like ‘every coin has two sides’, it is good that the couple does not have to suffer with each other forever if not compatible but such increasing figures are sure creating tensions and apprehensions.

The couples are forced to think twice before tying the knot as the sacred institution of marriage is seen crumbling.

Differences between parents can lead to disturbance in children’s life

Marriages these days have lost their meaning. No longer we get to see, marriage being practised as a life long bond, or as a relation where two souls become one after tying the knot of marriage. As discussed in my earlier blog marriage has more of become like a compromise, where the couple is nowhere in a situation to actually call their relation as a bond of love. An easy way to escape out of the marriage responsibilities and to disburden the pressure of marriage fights is divorce. Couples now a days, take marriage very lamely and even in case of small misunderstandings and fights opt for the route of divorce.

But have you ever thought how bad it can affect the future of your child, after you two get divorced. If I would have to some up the future of your child, then in mere terms, I would say that his life would be ruined. In fact, I am using a very small term, he will have no life, his personal, professional, all sectors of life will go hay way. The life is in no way would be a simple life, it would be life full of shackles, where the child would always be filled with questions in his mind, with restricted space to live and breathe freely.

Taking a chance in the form of giving birth to a baby, to give a new beginning to the married life or to start afresh is a very risky thing. This is very good, if the relation works out but a damn tough task to manage if the bride and the groom even after having a baby are not able to bring things on the right track. If the bride and the groom divorces each other, then the child becomes homeless and for the whole life swings in between the misunderstandings of his parents. Therefore, the couple should try and make things perfect, sorting out the differences between them, thereby paving a bright future for their child.
