One of the iland friends has made a guest book entry about my blog 'DIVORCE'. She has posed a question about a situation where both the man and woman are not responsible for the divorce. In a hypothetical situation , a woman ends up in a marriage of total mismatch. Though she is ready to adjust with him despite his shortcomings, he is not ready to be her life partner and keeps himself away. Oneday in a family gathering he blows out of proportion, a small assertion she made in her income to helpout her father. She files a divorce. Can she be blamed? Definitely No.

The concern of my previous blog was children. It is quite OK if spouses find themselves a mismatch and take the drastic step. May be, if enough care is taken while making their choices for life partner, the cases of mismatch can be reduced. Anyway, this generation lacks respect for the institution of marriage. If respect for the institution of marriage  is not part of ones values, he / she should not get married for the sake of comforts it provides.

This subject is well handled in Tamil movies - 'Mouna Ragam' and

'Piriyamanavale'.
