A rise in divorce rates is being attributed to growing intolerance and financial strains; over 5,500 women filed for divorce in the last eight months, according to court documents.
There are currently over 11,000 divorce cases outstanding in Lahore’s courts, with many of them citing abuse, theft, and domestic violence as their primary causes.
The attorneys managing these cases attribute the failure of both planned and love weddings to societal intolerance and inflation. The cornerstone of a happy marriage is trust. Even romantic relationships struggle to last without it, according to one legal expert.
Numerous women who filed for divorce through the legal system claimed that their husbands’ lies and deception forced them to leave.
