Part 2: Is the divorce rate is increasing because of women's empowerment?

The divorce rate in the world is rapidly increasing. In the first part of this blog, we have discussed some reasons for the increasing divorce rate in the world. In this part of the blog, nuclear family fashion, no religious affiliation, too much arguing, domestic violence, and other reasons will we discuss the reasons below:

Is the divorce rate is increasing because of women's empowerment?

Nuclear Family Fashion

Nuclear Family Fashion is causing an increase in the divorce rate.

The nuclear family fashion is mostly women remain happy but when any problem occurs between the husband and wife. They are enough old to settle down the problems, but the ego is a common issue in a couple who lives in a nuclear family fashion. A tiny issue in these families became a battle between them just because of ego problems. there is no elder to solve the tiny issue out. Some times in nuclear family fashion divorces occur with no major issue, but in a joint family system, many major issues are just solved on the table. the only woman can't blame for divorce in the nuclear family fashion; the problem occurs at both ends. so no one can blame women's empowerment as the root cause of divorce.

No religious affiliation:

It is a fact that people having religious affiliations have a very low divorce rate than people who do not have a religious affiliation. No religion promotes divorce; it’s a very unpleasant event in every religion(undesirable lawful event). People having religious affiliations have a lesser ego problem. They are humble and try their best to solve problems.

Lack of commitment and too much arguing are increasing divorce rates:

Too much arguing in the cause of divorce

Some observe that the dedication of couples toward their marriage is becoming lesser day by day. They take divorce as an easier step to solve issues. In every little matter, they argue too much which weakens their relationship. A time comes when every conversation ends at a quarrel.

Domestic violence

domestic-violence is the main cause of the increasing divorce rate

Almost 60% of divorce issues are based on domestic violence nowadays. It’s an issue occurring all around the world. It has two main subthemes as physical torture or mental torture. Before 4-5 decades, most of the women were not educated. But today most of the women are educated. They know their legal, social and political rights. Parents also give backup in domestic violence cases. They prefer to separate after knowing the behavior of the in-law's family. Here, you can say women’s empowerment is causing the increase in divorce rate but actually it’s not because before these women do not know about their rights. They used to bear unwanted violence. Women’s empowerment tells the women about their rights. The actual problem is domestic violence.

Unrealistic Expectation:

Today’s marriages are full of unrealistic expectations. Especially the love marriages have full of expectations but when the couple steps in the real world out of the imaginary world. They came to know that life is not as easy as our parents used to provide us. When they did not fulfill their desires, a permanent seed of quarrel is also been sowed between them. This quarrel ends with the bad end of marriages.

Premarital relationship and pregnancy:

The couple who lives in the relationship before marriage, they have higher chances of divorce after marriage if they marry each other. The divorce risk is much higher in those remains in a relationship with multiple partners. Most people believe that the couple who lived together before marriage knew each other better. They marry after complete satisfaction, but research found that they already developed the soft corner for divorce. This leniency for divorce is the factor that leads the couples to become high-risk clients of divorce.

These are the many reasons behind the rapidly increasing divorce rate in the world. Most of the people things that women's empowerment is the main cause of the increasing divorce rate but the actual reasons behind the scene are described above. There are many more reasons for divorce in different situations. Women's empowerment has some indirect effects on the increasing divorce rate, but there are almost zero direct effects.

Is the divorce rate is increasing because of women's empowerment?

The divorce rate is increasing because of women's empowerment.

They mostly ask it a question that women’s empowerment causes an increasing divorce rate? The answer is definitely no, but it affects indirectly sometimes. Women’s empowerment causes the financial independence of women, ego problems between the couples, that ego is leading to divorce. The main reason is women’s empowerment changes the equation of society and brought misunderstanding between couples and lack of interaction cause communication gap because of lack of time multiplied. Nuclear family fashion is also a root cause, they are enough oldest to solve their problems but no one really does nowadays because of big-nosed ego problems. If domestic violence happens, now women know about their legal rights. Before that women do not know about their legal rights, they bear domestic violence with patience. This is another indirect cause of the increasing divorce rate. The main reasons for divorce and how women’s empowerment affects these reasons:

• Child marriage 
• Less education
• Less income 
• Parent's divorce Arrange marriages with the huge status gap(education, age, money) 
• Love Marriage with Extra Expectation  
• Financial Independence of Women 
• Nuclear Family Fashion (no sense of compromise)  
• No Religious Affiliation 
• Lack of commitment and too much arguing 
• Domestic violence 
• Unrealistic expectation 
• Premarital relationship and pregnancy 

Reasons for Increasing Divorce Rate

Child marriage:

Child marriage is a major cause of divorce.

Child marriage is the biggest reason for divorce these days. At the time of marriage, couples don’t have a mature mind. When they grow up with the time, the physical and mental appearance toward things has changed totally. They hastily see the world.  This causes tension between couples.  This tension leads to the way of divorce. In most child marriages, a huge age gap is the main reason for child marriage. Women’s empowerment in not affect such marriages, but yes it does indirectly because it empowers women. Women’s empowerment educates them about their rights. Thus, the women apply for separation if required.

Less Education

Research shows that those who are just school pass outs are lesser educated and have more chances of divorce. Those who have some college education have a lower chance of divorce. Both partners have a piece of the good knowledge of their rights and rights of their partner, too. The chances of violence have reduced to a minimum. Knowledge about the rights of partners prevents another partner from domestic violence. Domestic violence is one of the root causes of divorce. Less-educated females do not know about their rights and bear unwanted torture.

Less income:

Having a moderate income can help couples to avoid stress and depression. But in low-income families, problems occur on a hanger. Hanger causes the quarrel between the couple and this daily routine quarrel to cause the state of depression and anxiety. Hanger and depression make a deadly combination.  Depression and stress are disturbing the mental health of a person badly. These are the factors with is now the main reasons for divorce nowadays.

Women's Empowerment and Its Hurdles

Parent's divorce:

Parent's divorce is the main cause of divorce

It doubles this very unfortunate situation in those children whose parents ' marriage ends at divorce. If both of the partners have this same issue, then they increase the risk thrice. This research-based fact; you may not think it before the marriage. The thing you should do is to increase the level of love and care to overcome this. So, you cannot say that women's empowerment causes divorce in this situation because the parent's divorce has inwards effects in your mind and makes leniency for divorce in your mind.

Arrange Marriage with a Huge Status Gap

Arrange marriage is a cause of divorce.

Arrange marriages with no conversation, without having the chat or even sometimes without seeing each other is mostly happened in India and Pakistan. This is a high risk of marriage nowadays because this happens with no understanding and without seeing the compatibilities. Arrange marriages mostly happen with only parents will and mostly have a huge education, age, and status gap. Mostly poor parents forced their young and beautiful daughters to marry a man of almost aged doubled to her just because he has a good status in society. This marriage mostly had a bad end because of the huge status gap.

Love marriages with extra expectations:

Love marriages with extra expectations a cause of divorce

Love marriages with the people of the same field, the same status, and mental approach have a very low risk of divorce. Marriages with extra expectations have a very high risk of divorce and most of the love marriages have this situation. Those people who accept the reality of their partner remain happy and chances of the divorce are very low but it knots most people in some love marriages in high expectations of love, care, and high profile lifestyle. In a real-life when they do not fulfill the desires of their partners because of tension between them. Which causes the bad end of the marriage. Here, you cannot blame the women's empowerment because this totally happens with the will of both partners.

Financial independence of women:

Women’s empowerment causes the financial independence of women. With financial independence, women do not bear domestic violence and rude behavior. As women are becoming more independent financially, it reduces the probability of women staying in a relationship out of absolute necessity and responsibilities. The financial independence of women is causing the prosperity of women and independence, but also you cannot say that the divorce rate is increasing because of women’s empowerment. Now women do not bear the relationship badly as an ulcer.

How to Empower Women?

How-to-empower-women

https://themantoo.blogspot.com/2019/08/how-to-empower-women.html

How to empower women? It is the most asked question nowadays. This was an unsolved myth before two decades. Education is the best way to empower women. Give them equal social, legal and political rights. Allow them to work where they want to do. Give them the confidence to start their business. Enforce the law against child marriage, child labor and gender-based on equality. Here are some ways we can empower women by following them:

• Empower women by education 

• Allowed them to work freely 

• Complement their mind and Soul 

• Allow pursuing their passion

• Need to overcome the narrow mindedness 

• Special focus on feudal areas 

• Enforcing law about sexual harassment to empower women

• Reduced gender-based inequality 

• Promote their talent

How to Empower Women

Empower women by education:

How-to-empower-women-by-education

Everyone may get an education with no gender discrimination. Female education is the best tool for better progress in the country. Female education is the first step in empowering women. After getting a good education, females can take part in better human capital development. Education of the male just brings prosperity in his family, but the education of female brings the civilized nation. Educated women can manage the house better than uneducated women. She can bring up her child in a better way. She can help her child with plans. Educated women can take part in the prosperity of his family, generate good human capital, and ensure the civilized nation.

Allowed them to work freely:

They are almost 48.8% of women in the world. If we give a friendly environment in workplaces, they can bring good human capital. Co-work places have healthy competition which results in good business for the companies. There are two main types of problems occurring in working female life first from the family and the second at the workplace. In the first problem mostly family do not allow to work in the male-dominated workplaces or sometimes family does not allow to work for any other reason. Second is harassment at workplaces. This is most common throughout the world. The administration of the company can easily solve this problem. If the administration does not resolve the issue, there are many rules that allow females to go to court.

Complement their mind and Soul:

Complement the mind and soul of a female not just her body. Women already get a lot of praise about her beauty and looks. Women feel much better when someone compliments her inside rather than her outside. Try to praise and women on something other than her looks once daily. This act shows your love and cares about her. Love, respect, and care are these things that a woman expects from her partner. This act gives her confidence, and it boosts up his performance.

Allow to pursue their passion:

Everyone has a passion for something. Passion does not follow gender but in some societies, only boys may pursue their passion. Passion is an extraordinary feeling about anything that would be about sports, fashion, studies, are about anything else. We should allow everyone pursuing their passion without gender inequality. Some observe that females are more passionate than males. Their intensity of passion is much higher than the male. If a female really made her mind about something, she would make it possible at any cost. In these male-dominant societies, there is a need to pay a special focus on women’s empowerment. This can be done by giving awareness about women’s empowerment. Motivational speakers are one who can boost their thirst to get it done.

Need to overcome the narrow-mindedness: 

Narrow-mindedness is a big problem that still exists in some societies. Mostly the parents show it in the education of girls and husbands who stop their wives from working. They think the girls can't do any other work except domestic works. Some men do not allow this because they think if females earn better than men. She will be out of his control. They just want to see a girl dependent on them. This narrow-mindedness is destroying the career of many girls. This hurdle can be overcome by increasing the moral values of males and telling the benefits of women’s empowerment.

Special focus on feudal areas:

Feudalism is where a lack of public authorities is replaced with the rate of the local lords. The condition of women's empowerment in feudal areas is miserably low. They are afraid to empower women. Most feudal areas are the hub of child marriages, child labor, rape and honor killing. They do not educate their women. They force their young girls of 13-15 to marry the old men of 50+. It reports many cases of such marriages with a huge age gap in different feudal areas. They treat their girls like a slave. They force their girls to marry at a young age. This situation is terrible because, in feudal areas, law and order are out of reach for a poor person. This problem still exists only the government can fix it. UNO is also trying to get rid of it.

Enforcing law about sexual harassment to empower women:

How-to-empower women-by-saving-from-harassment

Sexual harassment is a common problem that exists in the overall world. This is a crime, but most of its criminals remain free because females avoid filing the cases against the culprits. Female avoids having legal work done because of the honor problems of the family. The horrible face of the crime is rapping the female, but it is a bitter truth that almost 90% of harassment and 60% of rape cases are not filed. Almost every country has a law about women’s harassment and rape, but in some countries, these types of cases are not proceeding with honesty. This is a major hurdle to empower women.

Reduced gender-based inequality:

How-to-Empower-women-by-giving-them-political-rights

Gender bias inequality can be reduced by educating every woman about their rights. Gender-based violence is much higher in those areas where women do not know about their rights. The density of gender-based violence is much lower in urban areas because the women of urban areas know their rights. They have the courage to stand for the rights this act of showing courage prevents many cases of brutality. The government can stop this violence by developing more powerful laws and enforcing them by the institutions of the state. Women must have social rights like education, residents, maternity leave, the right to earn money and the right to spend their money. The state must ensure the social, legal and political rights of women.

Promote their talent: 

Every woman has a different talent in her some are good at cooking, some at designing, sports management, or any other thing. The girls should have the right to choose their profession according to their talent; Parents should not force their children to choose the field of their choice. Parents should encourage their children to pursue talent. This little thing can save their children from depression and anxiety.

Hence, women's empowerment can bring prosperity in their lives. If a woman is happy, she can look after her family in a good way.  It is the shortest way to increase the economy of any country. No country can really think about progress without the participation of almost 50% of its female population. Women's empowerment can increase human capital, which is the basic tool in the progress of any country.

Why Women's Empowerment is needed?

https://themantoo.blogspot.com/2019/08/women-empowerment-and-its-hurdles_6.html  
Why women's empowerment is needed? Females are also human beings. So, they should also enjoy equal rights in society as males do. The women should be conferring the power to act freely, to exercise their rights and to be a full and equal member of society. Women's empowerment is the basic need of modern society. Female education is the first practical step towards women's empowerment. The world is rapidly accepting the fact that development without women's empowerment is impossible. Most developed countries have already taken those steps. Many undeveloped countries are still struggling to empower their women. The women have made their names in almost all fields. Third world countries are having a lot of problems in imparting the power to their women. We discuss some hurdles below:

•      Education
•      Human Capital Development
•      To Overcome the Effects of Feudalism 
•      Should solve lack of resources and Inaccessibility 
•      Need to Sort Out Conflicts between Family and Dreams
•      Economic Development

Why Women's Empowerment is needed?

Education : 

Education is the basic step in empowering women.  Education is imparting knowledge, skills, and judgment between right and wrong. The literacy rate of women in underdeveloped countries is very low. Parent's narrow-mindedness is the main reason for the lack of female education. They ignore educating their girls. They think girls are only made to do household work. They assume the women can't do any other work except domestic works. That's why women's empowerment is needed. Education can tell women about their rights to live freely as men used to do. Educating women will tell her about their social, legal, and political rights, which is the basic need to today's life.

Human Capital Development:

The contribution of women in the world population is almost 48.8%. No one can even think to get good human capital development without the contribution of women. Women have made their names in every field of life. They have proven their strength in managing the house and the job in parallel. Many women are now playing their role in human capital development by working in the cooperate sectors, the government sector and by owning the different businesses. Human capital development has direct effects on the GDP of the country. This helps any country to develop a good economy. 

To Overcome the effects of Feudalism:

Feudalism is the worst enemy of women's empowerment. Most feudal lords do not allow their women to go to schools for education. They consider it against the customs of their forefathers.  They do not allow their females to do a job or business. The poor parents of the feudal areas never go against their feudal lords. If someone tries to do so and remains unsuccessful, they punish them severely. The effects of feudalism are badly affecting human capital development, which is the root of economic development in the country. So, women's empowerment is much-needed nowadays.

Should solve the lack of resources and inaccessibility:

Lack of resources and inaccessibility are the main causes of the government. In the rural areas female schools are not easily available. The poor parents cannot afford the extra expenditure of traveling to school for education. That's why the literacy rate is much lower in rural areas. Education is the first and most important step towards women's empowerment. So, the Government should pay special attention to overcome the problems of lack of resources and make education accessible to every single girl.

Need to Sort Out Conflicts between Family and Dreams

The conflict between the family and the dreams of a girl is a major problem nowadays. The parents do not allow doing what the girl really wants to do. These extra protective parents give their children unlimited access to the modern world. They do not allow girls to follow their dreams. This limited access causes permanent conflict between parents and children. This mostly ends up with an annoyance of parents or giving up of dreams by children. This is causing depression in students because every human has feelings, which can't program as a robot to work. Youth is the future of the country. If the youth remain in depression and anxiety. The future of the country will be at the stake. Which is an alarming situation for the growth of the country?

Economic Development:

The economic development of the country can be doubled by empowering its women.  The economy of the country shows the growth of the country. Women play a vital role in the economic development of the country by taking an active part in generating money.

Different organizations are working for women's empowerment. United Nations is also active for gender equality. In sustainable development goals, gender equality is a special focus of UNO. Every country should try their best to overcome these hurdles. Women's empowerment will bring prosperity to the country.
