Three different friends of mine send me this report from TOI. It says that 2 out of 5 marriage are officially breaking up in Mumbai. No one know how many unofficial divorces takes place… those who sever the relationship and decided to separate without legal hassles.
Sociologists have blamed it on the hyper-urban lifestyle. Often as a result of time-starved relationships. 8-10 hour work days plus 2-3 hrs of commute, leaves couples with very little quality time at their disposal in nurturing the marraige. Other blame on extra marital relationships and some even on the influence of Bollywood culture in Mumbai. Whatever be the case, Mumbai is not only the financial and film industry capital, but continue to be trendsetter in new sociological upheavals.
Family is the most fundamental unit of the society. When families breakdown, there is weakening in the fabric of the society. It sure is an indication of dilution of values and place of morality in the society. When a society grows weaker, soon it begins to show in the national character. Rise and fall of nations cannot be seen only in economic or military powers, but need to be seen inner moral courage of its people.
