Why are their so many divorces amongst the Desis/Muslims?


Yesterday, I was at a wedding and asked the dulha's brother as to why his wife wasn't there. He said she couldn't make it because she was at her mothers.

I later found out that their relationship had ended. He's a medical doctor, a good looking guy, comes from a respectable intelligent family and an overall decent bloke. And to be fair to her, the same can be applied to her also, except I don;t know about her personality.

Their beautiful son is only 5 or 6.

Why did they break up when they had everything going for them? And this was a love marriage too. I was saddened to hear what had happened.

o.k, make the decision u live with it, i have sisters that have been through this, one had an arranged marriage the other was a love marriage, they both had choices, yes or no, heart attack, last wish, whatever, your getting maried for urself not for your parent, there's a saying IF YOUR NOT HAPPY IN WHAT YOUR DOING , YOUR DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASON...and No its not rape not even close to rape, maybe u should speak to a rape victim then you will understand..i'm sure some of these husbands do use force and there PRIVATES should be chopped off...

WELL IF MY HUSBAND TOOK ME TO A HOTEL ROOM,, WE'LL CHILL OUT AND SMOKE A SPLIFF AND HE CAN TELL ME ALL ABOUT HIS PAST GIRLFRIENDS AND WHEN I LEAVE,,I'LL GIVE HIM THE DIVORCE PAPERS TOO!!!!

MORALS: I CAN RELATE TO SOME OF THE STORIES AS MY MOTHER RUN REFUGES WHERE THESE WOMEN USED TO TELL LOADS OF STORIES, BUT NOWADAY I THINK WOMEN ARE STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES AND ARE MORE EDUCATED THEN MOST MEN, ALSO WOMEN ARE TOOO INDEPENDENT, CAREER MINDED AND MOST DON'T GET MARRIED TILL LATE IN LIFE,,

ABOUT THESE MEN,IF A MAN COMES FROM A DECENT, RESPECTABLE FAMILY THEN HE'D WAIT TILL HIS WIFE IS READY, BUT ALSO THIS CAN CAUSE SUSPICION ON WHY HAS PUT IT ON HOLD, QUESTIONS THEN CAN ASKED,, IS THEY SOMEONE ELSE, DON'T YOU LIKE ME, ARE YOU NOT A VIRGIN, ARE YOU NOT HAPPY ETC ETC ETC,,,,,,,,,,,,ALTHOUGH A WOMAN MIGHT HAVE A GENUINE REASON, THIS IS HURTFUL TO A MAN'S EGO THIS IS WHY SOME ASAIN MEN FORCE THEMSELVES ON THEY WIVES, WHICH IS WRONG, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN!!!

ABOUT DYING,, MY UNCLE USED TO SAY IT TO ME,,,, GET MARRIED BETA WHILE I'M ALIVE SO I CAN SEE YOU HAPPILY MARRIED,,,,, BUT I USED TO THINK,,, WHAT WOULD MAKE HIM MORE HAPPY,,,ME GETTING MARRIED OR ME GETTING A DIVORCE!!!
MIND YOU MY UNCLE DID DIE IN THE END,,SO NOW I NEED ANOTHER REASON TO SETTLE DOWN!!!!

good points - but i think u guys are not realistic enough in yr thoughts...ok so its not the oxford dictionary definition of rape but i think its closer then u think. its not hindi films i get this from - its real life people and some of u have already agreed that the pressure thing is common especially yr fathers ill, before he dies cant u grant him his last DYING wish......etc etc.....now this happens. it was even on that channel; 4 programme about arranged marraiges ( some pk family in birm and the boy had second thoughs on his cousin bride when he got to pak.....the uncle (brides father) suddenly had a heart attack and hey presto boy changed his mind and got married and girl secures visa!!!!!!!!) and by rape i mean....ok u get married and u meet the "traditional" way...through family...a few meetings only....after the ruksati where do they go...a hotel.....so what do u think happens there????? and how many men do wait????? from the womens jokes at the walima the next day and what girls I KNOW say i conclude they have done it.....so PP do u think her saying no helps her while she is in a hotel room with a man she barely knows????? and u must admit this is not a nice situation for the girl and who has the upper hand here boy or girl?????? assad why have an arranged marraige.....coz of pressure/meeting so many idoits that u end up going the "safe" way/all yr mates getting married/age/......and i think that love marraiges can work out....u just hear about them going wrong more coz there are less of them happening to begin with!!!! i would rather find love then the scenario above and pls dont tell me my prince will save me.....come on

Morals: i understand what your saying, but she still has a choice, she's human, she can say yes or no, there maybe consequence's but that dont matter she has a choice thats the one thing that belongs to her....people have been fighting for there rights for years, its about time you women start doing the same..

Khalid, u couldn't be more right and girls, rape is such a harsh word to use, as everyone is saying, why have an arranged marriage if your gonna complain afterwards.

I got a mate, and shes gone pakistan and is geting married to someone she hasn't even met before. I told her to refuse as it is against Islam to get married against their will.

But one thing that iv noticed, alot of love marriages don't work out and iv seen more arranged marriages with brighter futures (the futures orange - lame, i know but just poped into my head)

By the way, girls/ladies, would you have a problem living with your inlaws and why?
