Divorce Rates on a Striking Rise in Bangalore
The Energy therapist and Counsellor Avril Quadros said, “Having had first-hand experience with how the family courts work, they're really shoddy. When two people in a marriage opt for a divorce, the lawyers and clients hope for a speedy procedure as no one wants to hang around the courts forever. However, because they are junior advocates or legal aides who have no experience on cases, and because there's so much workload and judges come late and the court is lax, (cases) spill over year into year into year. So having 2-3 fast-track courts would be a great idea if they could do in one day what they're currently doing in three,” as reported by TNN.
There is a 20 percent increase in the divorce rates in the city over the years, reasoning this PS Dinesh Kumar, a civil lawyer and mediator said, “Today, since most couples are working, their timings don't match, there is a lack of interpersonal communication. Most couples file for divorce with 'incompatibility' as their problem.”
The incompatibility between couples has taken a one way road, in recent years. However actor and businessman, Vishal Hegde feels differently. He said, “If a couple has to get rid of each other, they will find 100 reasons to break up. If they want to live together, they will find several reasons to work out the differences between them. If you want your relationship to work, one person has to compromise. That's the only way to keep a relationship going,” as reported by TNN.
