Divorce rates in India have doubled in recent years, with many cases being filed by young, working professionals between ages 25-35. Cities like Mumbai, Lucknow, Kolkata, and Bengaluru have all seen significant increases in divorce filings in recent years. Common reasons for divorce include issues like ego, stress from professional competition, dislike of a partner's appearance, lack of trust, infidelity, and financial or communication problems. While divorce has more societal acceptance now, it can negatively impact spouses, children, and families emotionally and financially. Maintaining realistic expectations and developing understanding is important to build healthy marriages.

A divorce is a legal action between married people to terminate their
marriage relationship. It can be referred to as dissolution of marriage
and is basically, the legal action that ends the marriage before the
death of either spouse.

3. WHY DIVORCE
The young couples are fast becoming upwardly mobile and rich in
Indian cities. But economic prosperity is taking its toll on the marital
status and marriages are falling apart. Over the years the number of
divorce cases filed in the family courts have doubled. It is seen that
most of the couples filing a divorce petition in the family courts are
working professionals in the age group of 25-35 years. The main
reasons are ego, stress to professional competition.

5. REASONS FOR DIVORCE
While for many, marriage is the beginning of a whole new life, for some
it's the end of the road and that's because Indians are no more the
patient lot they used to be, when marriages were made in heaven.
The divorce rate in India has risen to 13 per 1,000 from a mere 1 in
1,000 some ten years ago and probability of witnessing a bigger figure
next year is almost certain. But, has anyone of us even bothered to
find out what's leading to so many broken marriages?Dr. Nisha Khanna,
a leading psychologist, marriage counselor and a relationship expert
told some bizarre reasons to TOI.

6. BIZARRE REASONS
• I hate my wife's appearance
the most common reason for men filing for divorce is the fact that they
dislike their partner's appearance. And, if you thought this was only
common to men who've had arranged marriages, be ready to be
shocked because men who have married as per their will are leading
this pack of unsatisfied husbands. Is this the metrosexual effect, uh?
• My mom-in-law gifted me artificial jewellery, I feel cheated!
Yes, some Indian bahus are walking out of their marriages because of
being duped by their vicious mom-in-laws, who promised them gold
but couldn't keep the promise
