“Raising Divorce cases in Punjab”

                       Raising Divorce Cases in Punjab

We recently visited our nearby district court and i found a family struggling from divorce case of their daughter from last one year and it was their 3rd hearing. I asked the reason of divorce then they told that the husband of their daughter went to abroad without letting know their daughter and family and when he returned he filed divorce case, but the girl don’t want their married life to be ended. Beacause of her husband behavior she also agreed to take divorce. Now they are struggling for the divorce, when i asked that what judge said? Then they replied that their lawyer said that there is no respond from the court. So they have to come on every hearing for the case.

When her mother was telling about the case she also started crying that they are very tensed about their daughter future.

The increasing divorce cases in Punjab can be attributed to several factors. Modernization and changing societal norms may contribute as people embrace individual autonomy and seek compatibility in relationships. Economic pressures, urbanization, and educational advancements might empower individuals to make independent choices, affecting marriage dynamics.

Cultural shifts, evolving gender roles, and increased awareness of legal rights could also play a role. Women's empowerment and awareness about legal remedies may encourage them to seek divorces in cases of marital discord or abuse.

Furthermore, the influence of media, exposure to diverse lifestyles, and migration can expose individuals to different perspectives on relationships, potentially influencing their decisions.

It's crucial for policymakers, social institutions, and communities to address these issues comprehensively, providing support systems, counseling services, and legal awareness to mitigate the challenges associated with increasing divorce rates.
