Hi in this forum most of the time i see western women are divorced and that to at pretty young age {nothing wrong if they want too} but i want to know why is this so common ?In my country India DIVORCE are rare when i see my parents both in love mutual admiration and respect i often wonder that it's not so hard to be married .

We are free in the West to do as we please, that's why.
The divorce rate isn't high at all and even if it were at least we have the freedom to divorce and lead a happy life rather than being dictaed too by leaders who shag anything that moves behind closed doors.
You need to get your facts right.

But you have got ur facts all wrong."we are free in west to do as we please" so what do you suggest "others are slave " everyone over here is also free to do as as he please till it is under law.
Have you gone through whole thread ?I have repeatedly mention that divorce do happen in india but one should only opt for it when it is not possible to live together but in majority of cases people do have happy married life hence less divorce not that they want to but law does not permit.
I could say more but then it would sound like lecture which i do not want.

"AND PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT INDIA VS WEST "Just was curious to know the reason coz to live a happily married life with a same partner does not seem so difficult when you see here +it is not that those who remain married to the same person are unhappy or are doing not out of love but their compulsion.

I'll answer your question with a question.
why is rape so common in India?

So these happy marriages you speak about, how many are arranged, and are they really happy or is it because they don't want to bring shame on their familys that they decide to stay together regardless.

but still you have got ur facts all wrong no problem mam i would correct it for you

Australia, Botswana and Lesotho had the highest average per capita of reported rape from 2004 to 2010.

US Justice Department estimates 300,000 American women are raped every year, and the Centers for Disease Control puts the number much higher at 1.3 million.

When looking at reported rape cases per capita, Australia, Botswana and Lesotho rank highest. But tallying sheer totals, Europe and the Americas consistently top the charts.

In America One in five students has been assaulted, it said, but just 12 percent of them report the violence.

So these happy marriages you speak about, how many are arranged, and are they really happy or is it because they don't want to bring shame on their familys that they decide to stay together regardless.

one of my good friends is from India and in an arranged marriage and absolutely hates it. But he won't divorce till his parents are gone, even tho he never sleeps there with her. He also takes very good care of his daughter as well.

Most of them are arranged but by arranged it does not mean that you have to marry the one ur parents told you to.People first meet if they want to after seeing the photos then if chemistry match they talk for sometime{sought of date}only after that if they want to they marry so even after being arranged it's ur own personal choice and if you want to marry someone you love you can .(love *** arrange marrige}

To give you an example my parents had an arrange marriage and the mutual love admiration and care they share with each other is tremendous so stop pretending that who don't get divorced justdon't coz they are unable to or are afraid.

I'll repeat the question
Why is rape so common in India?
I never asked about other country's. I asked about your country.
You asked a rather insulting question about the west (which includes my beautiful country the UK)
So now I'm asking a question about your country. As you can probably guess I was a little offended by your question about the west and divorce.

You did not get the spirit of the question that's why u were offended as it was not meant to be so but still i APOLOGIZE to you if it had hurt your sentiments.

Second rape do happen in india and it's not good many reason are responsible for it but then it would be a long debate .

Ok, maybe I over reacted a little so i'm sorry too. As per my last answer, hope you have a wonderful day, and hey, life would be boring if every country was the same. Good luck and take care my friend x

You hear about stories on the news here about families doing terrible things to women that are in those aranged marriages. They may not all be forced and I'm sure that some aranged marriages are as you say but it's just disingenuous to claim that all of them are free to marry or divorce as they please. In some cases women are even murdered by their own familys because they "bring shame" on them.

Also, there's just more freedom for women to do what they want in western countries because of financial oppression in places like India where women are more dependant on men.

My parents are still married and in love. I kind of think that people here in the US are spoiled and they don't care enough about trying to make things work. So when things get rocky they split. We live in a time when people expect instant gratification. Plus I think some people simply get married to early in life. They are pressured into it by family and friends or religious leaders. They're not ready at all to start a family when they get married. Meaning they don't really have a job or stability. So that adds more stress into their lives. Raising kids is hard enough. Trying to do it when you work at a crappy job and can't support your spouse is hard enough. Add kids to the mix and it's just going to get worse.
