While for many, marriage is the beginning of a whole new life, for some it’s the end of the road and that’s because Indians are no more the patient lot they used to be, when marriages were made in heaven.The divorce rate in India has risen to 13 per 1,000 from a mere 1 in 1,000 some ten years ago and probability of witnessing a bigger figure next year is almost certain. But, has anyone of us even bothered to find out what’s leading to so many broken marriages? We got in touch with Dr. Nisha Khanna, a leading psychologist, marriage counselor and a relationship expert to delve into the reasons why so many Indians are filing for divorce and we were completely amused with the list. Here’s a look at some of those extremely ridiculous reasons we came across.Believe it or not, the most common reason for men filing for divorce is the fact that they dislike their partner’s appearance. And, if you thought this was only common to men who’ve had arranged marriages, be ready to be shocked because men who have married as per their will are leading this pack of unsatisfied husbands. So, whether it’s the way she dresses or her ageing skin, men seem to have become really insensitive about the things which only mattered to women till a few years ago. Is this the metrosexual effect, uh?Yes, some Indian bahus are walking out of their marriages because of being duped by their vicious mom-in-laws, who promised them gold but couldn’t keep the promise. A woman actually walked into one of Delhi’s leading marriage counselor's clinic and confessed that she was contemplating ending her marriage because she was gifted artificial jewellery by her in-laws. That’s cheap, like literally!According to Dr. Khanna, some women cannot come to terms with the reality and that’s the sole reason for their marriage falling apart. Sometimes, the pressure to abide by the societal norms and customs also leads to the end of a marriage. Dr. Khanna cited the example of a woman who was completely disgusted with her husband for asking her to touch his feet on the occasion of Karva Chauth, a fast kept by Indian wives for the longevity of their husbands.Imagine walking out on somebody because they were not dressed upto the mark or unable to have an intelligent conversation with you? Well, Indian women are doing just that. They are literally walking out of their marriages because they absolutely dislike the way their partners dress and act. And, mind it, this bizarre piece of excuse is one of the most important reasons for Indian women filing for divorce in the family courts. Wonder how they fail to notice these signs about their husbands before settling down with them!Okay, it can’t be called the last straw when it comes to Indian marriages, but according to Dr. Khanna, a big reason for marriages falling apart is the fact that women have finally realised what can be tolerated and what can’t be, and it’s completely subjective. So, while they can be absolutely okay living in with an annoying mother-in-law, they’ll just not accept living in a house which is smaller than the one they were living in before, implying the fact that women have come of age and they have stopped compromising.As per Dr. Khanna, Indians have become emotionally unstable, thanks to the expectations of the society, stress and other factors. “People have unrealistic expectations these days and things go wrong when you walk into a marriage expecting it to be a fairy tale, because it isn’t going to be one,” claims Khanna, who has been working over the years with couples to help them put their marriages back together.
