Why Divorces increased in INDIA...

To address the growing prevalence of divorces in modern Indian society, there is an urgent need to revive the essence of undivided families and promote a culture of familial unity and solidarity.

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern society, traditional values and structures often face challenges and transformations. One such institution that has significantly shifted over time is the concept of the undivided family. In India, where family ties have historically been deeply rooted in culture and tradition, the erosion of undivided families is becoming increasingly evident, with a parallel rise in divorces among cosmetic families.

Undivided families, also known as joint families, have long been the heart of Indian culture. These extended family units typically include multiple generations living under one roof, sharing resources, responsibilities, and a strong sense of cultural identity. The undivided family system fosters mutual support, interdependence, and a collective approach to decision-making, thereby promoting stability and harmony within the household and in the society.

However, as India undergoes rapid modernisation and urbanisation, the traditional structure of undivided families is gradually giving way to nuclear families or cosmetic families. These smaller family units consist of parents and children living independently, often in pursuit of individual aspirations and lifestyles. While this shift may offer greater autonomy and flexibility to its members, it also comes with its set of biggest challenges, particularly concerning family bonding and support systems.
