Comments on: Sri Lanka’s Household War – The Increasing Divorce Rates in Sri Lanka http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/147 alternatives that matter Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:33:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Plain Truth http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/147#comment-572 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 16:54:31 +0000 http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/147#comment-572 Let’s talk about the quality of marriage before and now. I think the divorce rate is higher since people are finding an alternative to be happy. If you look at marriages in the past, I don’t think the level of happiness was any better than today. I think the woman was more imprisoned within a cultural and financial framework with no choice. If people can fly using an airplane than driving a car, they will do so. I believe divorce is an additional marriage choice people have now. The traditional SL marriages are mostly based on a weak foundation like wealth, class, and lies than love and integrity and therefore bound to break at some point.
