From news article below, it is reported that divorce cases are on the rise in Bangalore and elsewhere:

Following are comments in above news from a woman's organisation's representative followed by my commnets:
"There are reasons galore for the rise in divorce cases. Urbanisation and increasing violence against women and financial stability of both husband and wife, to name a few," Dona Fernandes, a member of women rights' group Vimochana, said.
It is such a cliche to say Urbanisation is a cause of higher divorce. Urbanisation and migration lead to nuclear families with family consisting of only husband, wife and children. With in-laws of wife being not being present in the same house, it should actually lead to better adjustment for wife. Then would it not lead to lower divorce rates?
"Today's empowered women are refusing to follow the traditional diktats of Indian marriages. Marriage is the biggest form of displacement for any woman as she has to shift from her home (natural habitat) to her husband's home.
The use of words 'natural habitat' seem so artificial given we are talking about 50% of human species, rather than carnivores or large mammals swimming in deep oceans. Given most women get married and spend more time in marriage than before marriage it is a foregone conclusion that so called 'natural habitat' of 50% or more of human species will be marital home than their pre-marital home. Yet this person insists that women are 'displaced' from their 'natural habitat'. It makes it sound as if an endagered species is being talked about.
"It is the wife who is supposed to adjust. But today's financially strong women are not ready to take undue pressure on their individual existence and thus marital discords are bound to increase," said Fernandes.
Marital discords are bound to increase... yes if feminist organisations have their way! But wait, there is a simpler solution, what if instead of discord both husband and wife chose the path of mutual adjustment! Will that be acceptable to feminists? Please come clear on this since it is a question of 50% or more of human species who you claim to represent.

I guess you must have heard "Blowing trumpet before Buffalo, yields nothing". What i am trying to prove ny this is, even if you hit harder at these feminist, they are not going to listen. If they think that the so called modern, educated , financially independent woman can't adjust themselves within the boundaries of family, then how come the men will adjust. After all they are also well educated and not only financially independent but also carry N number of financial responsibilites. If these women donot adjust, how come men will adjust.
