Divorce is something which has been very common in today’s societies, the major cause that leads to family devastation and one of the main causes for children’s unstable mental health. However, although, in some cases, divorce is the only solution for a family to live in peace, although one must think many times before taking such decision. In a country like Pakistan, where marriage is often considered sacred and even quintessential for a woman, and divorce gets looked at as a sign of failure .
Divorces are riddled with stigma in our country, although women have been trying to challenge that perception and pushing for a change, but in most cases they’re still unacceptable and looked down upon, because our society just doesn’t want to accept the fact that some people are better off as separate individuals therefore women feel like staying in a toxic marriage is far better than getting out of it.
This topic is so deep and could be spoken about for hours but keeping it short, It’s high time that we gave the divorcee’s their due rights and respect and stopped considering them a disgrace. It’s high time, as a nation, we ended the divorce stigma, once and for all. And accept people’s personal choices.
“Live and Let live “
