Divorce and Its affect on Individual’s Life (A Sociological Study of Pokhara Sub-Metropolitan City)

Abstract

Marriage that ends in divorce typically begins a process of unraveling, estrangement, or an emotional separation year before the actual legal divorce is obtained. During the course of the marriage, one or both of the marital partners begin to feel alienated from the other. Conflicts with each other and with the children’s intensity become more frequent and often go unresolved. Feelings of bitterness, helplessness, and anger escalate as the spouses weigh the costs and benefits of continuing the marriage versus separating. In Hindu society, marriage is taken as a holy union between a man and a woman for the performance of religious duties. According to religious philosophy, it is in dissoluble and it is for all the birth to come. Marriage is an immemorial institution which, in some form, exists everywhere. Its main purpose always was to unite and to continue the families of bride and groom and to further their economic and social position
