Divorce in western culture is rampant. The chances of a wedding ending in a divorce is more than 50% (I don't know the exact figures). However, what I'm trying to get at is that as people from nepal, where divorce is a western phenomenon i.e. divorce is looked down upon soically and culturally, what do you guys think about it. Before I go any further, let me explain that I am trying to think like a woman from a poor underdeveloped country where I dont have any choices. (I'm a guy by the way just to make things clear and if what I think is offending to any woman or man, Please enlighten me) Just to get my point of view out there, I think that women in nepal are insecure socially and are very dependent on the man they marry. Add to that the mix that no matter what, the woman who gets a divorce is going to be ostracized===> A potent mix of I call, Man is Man in Nepal. What leads me to beleive this is that if woman had other choices wouldnt they want that to get out of that marriage. For example, A Forty year old woman who knows her husband is cheating on her has very limited choices. Lets look at this in a more realistic way, lets say your parents decided to get a divorce, how many choices to lead a good life would your mom have?? However we as Nepalese still think that Divorce is a bad thing even in an abusive relationship. I'm not trying to advocate divoreve but if we empower women our country would be a lot better and not that much hypocritical.
