Divorce cases are increasingly being noticed among BPO, IT and BT employees. What could be the possible reasons?
Divorces are the reality of today. There are multiple factors. In fact, earlier there were instances of emotional divorce in the traditional culture-bound family set ups. With globalisation, women's empowerment, growth of structured female identity, the emotional divorce has taken a legal format because of affordability and self-ascertainment.
Do you see any link between the increased exposure of these sectors to the west and rising number of divorces?
Yes. With consumerism expanding its tentacles and by working as effective tools of hidden persuaders, we are catching up fast with the west. More than insecurity and inferiority, it is a combination of de-personalisation and de-individualisation which gives rise to egoistic traits.
To what extent does a woman's financial independence cause her decision to separate?
Economic security makes a woman feel independent, secure and decisive in her role play. It is this identification and insight which makes her decision making more relevant in tune with the immediate reality.
Do you think the increased possibility of remarriage of divorced women also contributes to this?
There is liberalisation in the mental and physical perspective of the individual psyche which greatly contribute to live-in relationships and pre-marital sex. Extra-marital affairs and homosexual relations are almost getting social and legal acceptability. Remarriage of divorced or widowed women has become a socially accepted reality.
In metropolises like Mumbai and Bangalore, many women prefer to remain single. What is the thought behind such mindset?
As I said earlier, increased consciousness about feminine identity, emotional and financial security, sexual equality and the desire to grow individually urge women to remain single rather than tying themselves up in marriage.
Do the prevalent feminist theories contribute to the disintegration of family?
Partly yes and partly no. We cannot make a generalised statement about this as there are several other factors too in the picture.
Don’t you think the institution of Indian family is itself at stake here?
Not necessarily. There is no clear cut definition for family as an institution. It's dependence and interdependency of more than one individual that comes within the purview of a family.
What about people who kill their spouses?
That is an instance of deviant behavioural pattern that can be termed psychopathic disorder or personality disorder.
