Marital
life begins with certain process in diverse cultures.
The situation of divorce may result when the couple
is unable to compromise with the various challenges
that they face during their marital life.
Few decades back,
gender biasness used to be practiced in our society
on the verge of religion, cultures and customs.
It is obvious from this fact that the concept
of divorce was beyond applicable then. But today
the world has changed a lot. Because of people
awareness, they don't like to stay dominated.
Everybody is searching for his/her own dignity.
Voices have been raised in support of the child
and woman rights and even the treaties gave been
signed. Women are implying the same rights as
men are.
Ever law discouraged
the unconventional and multi marriage systems.
Widow marriage has got the legal certification,
families have accepted love marriages, intercast
marriages and interracial marriage. These revolutions
verify that marriage is absolutely a personal
concern but along with the continuous revolution
and changes we introduced divorce as well. But
truly speaking, many have benefited from divorce
by surpassing the mental and physical stress.
Divorce, in the couple without any children and
with the differences in thoughts and action, should
be tale as normal. There is a probability of these
two getting married to different individuals but
then the existence of stepfamily is likely to
be diminished, which of course is the positive
aspect.
The psychological
feeling of inferiority among the women and the
superior feeling nourished among the men, has
finally hit the bottom with the legal provision
of dividing the wealth (dividend) possessed by
the husband with the wife after the divorce. Divorce
has now became a mean of defending owns dignity
of course doesn't mean to run away from the duties
and responsibilities as being a human.
In the situation
when a conflict arises due to the violation of
each other's rights between wife and husband and
the situation does not seem to get any better
even after undergoing certain compromising states,
then up comes the need of getting divorced. This
is an unanswered psychological question. Getting
divorced even after having a baby can be seen
both in new and old generations.
Children are
the one who have to suffer because of divorce
in the couple since divorce is not between the
children and the parent, letting them suffer is
against the basic rights. But the parents do not
seem to care about what when it comers for their
satisfaction and interest. On the other hand,
the society diverged by modernization and industrialization,
there is not any other family member also to take
care of the children. The base of joint family
is trembling. That is the reason why, whatever
the consequences for these children today, will
be same tomorrow. This future result in depression.
They may get entangled, may involve in crimes.
Some may even commit suicide.
So, actually
it is better to get divorced rather than to continue
the fallacious marital relationship, as such divorce
is a social revolution and its main achievement
is the approval of society towards the divorce.
Those couples civilization for their convenience
and the society accepting it, holds the prime
responsibility to find out the measures to deduce
the psychological damages amongst their children.
First and fore mostly, parents are responsible
for their children and should take the challenges
first, having the law already approved from the
husband for the wife, after getting divorced,
the mothers also must take responsibility of the
financial aspects of their children.
When parents
are confirmed about the divorce, it seems better
to inform children following things, as in case
of divorcee parents of the western countries:
• To inform children
regarding their separation before they actually
start living in separate residence.
• To inform in presence of both husband
and wife in order to ease the situation.
• To confirm the children that they are
absolutely not the reason for their separation
conflict is the root cause.
• To illustrate any good incident that may
have occurred while they lived separately.
• To ask the children regarding their inner
opinions.
Getting
to know these facts, the children will generate
a concept that they still have their parents and
will express their own kind of queries. Such queries
can be as follows:
• Who is leaving this
house ?
• I will be staying with mom or dad ?
• Who will prepare my Tiffin for school ?
• Who will buy the uniform for the school
and who will wash it ?
• Who will attend parent's meetings at school ?
• Who will tale me out during vacation ?
• Who will take me for picnic ?
• Whether I can visit my maternal uncle's
house or not ?
All these
queries made by the children seem to have seeking
the necessary attentions towards their family,
social, educational, financial, and psychological
aspects. As such, it seems the prior responsibility
of the parents is to take care of their children
until and unless they become mature enough to
live on their own.
