The Indian society has awakened to alarming number of divorce cases in recent days. Are you wondering who is the major propeller for the divorce between couples in Indian families? Any married couple will agree for this- mother in laws are the major cause of divorce in Indian families!

"Meddlesome in-laws" are the chief cause of divorces, especially in the Indian community. Their interference in personal, emotional, career, financial, sexual aspects often triggers the sparks of disinterest between the couples. The sons/daughters may not feel the nagging sense in these interferences as their partners. However the drift develops to a major shaft without the couple"s awareness.

Many in laws may not want their child to be unhappy because of them. However they do not want their kids to drift away from them for their partners. Moreover they may want to claim credit for their children"s happiness. This prompts them to make unnecessary and unpleasant interferences in their children"s families.

The second highest reason for divorce in Indian families is infidelity. Surprisingly there polygamy is also a major reason for divorce between Indian couples. Divorce is more likely to happen to those under 25 and above 40.
