Surprised by the header? An interesting topic to be explored in the current world scenario where everything and everyone works on numbers and mechanics. Recently met one old friend from SIO who is a doctor and psychologist. He is currently working on a project on the relevance of pre-marital counseling for couples. This practice is prevalent in most of the developed countries including Singapore where it is mandatory where divorce rates are high.So how does this fit the Indian scenario? My friend revealed some interesting stats which would definitely make us sit and think. He says that almost 20% of marriages end up in divorce in today's Indian Muslim community. A staggering 60% or more marriages are on the brink held up more for ego and social reasons. Less than 20% of Muslim marriages in India are really seen to be successful to a certain extent. The reasons for this can be attributed to various factors including non-Islamic upbringing, false sense of freedom, materialistic competition and many more.Do let me know your views and opinions in this regard.
