Following her divorce, a 33-year-old woman in Kashmir reflects on the toll of shattered dreams and societal pressures. Marital breakdowns are on the rise, attributed to factors like fast-paced living, population growth, and extended life expectancy. Unfair blame for infertility, demands on wives to prioritise in-laws, and issues like domestic violence contribute to divorces. Legal intervention faces obstacles due to compassion, wealth, and influence. The need for pre-marital discussions and marriage counselling is emphasised. Post-divorce, societal biases hinder remarriage, while challenges for divorced women encompass social, economic, cultural, and psychological dimensions. Professor Shahnawaz underscores the importance of careful consideration in choosing life partners, criticizing influential platforms for neglecting the issue. He highlights the role of contented families as the foundation for a thriving society.
