What Is Silver Divorce? Why Is Separating After 50 Becoming A New Trend In india?
What Is Silver Divorce? If you are a woman there is no way you could have escaped aunties around you saying 'aajkal ke bachhe adjust or compromise karna nehi jante' or 'The generation today doesn't know how to adjust or compromise in marriage'. This is a standard statement in an Indian society where marriage is an institution that is considered sacred, and divorce is a hush-hush word even today.
So, people living on their own terms, keeping their own needs on priority, who do want to get stuck in a toxic relationship, and who have time in their 50s simply for much sought-after peace and freedom can raise eyebrows. This is what trending in India and it is actually on the rise, and everyone is calling it 'Silver Divorce'.
The Sliver divorce rate is rising in many nations including Australia, Britain, the US, and, more recently, India. The UN report 'The Progress of the World's Women 2019-2020' says the divorce rate in India has doubled in the last two decades. Let us know what the silver divorce is all about.
What
Is
Silver
Divorce?
Why
Is
Silver
Talak
The
New
Trend
In
India?
Silver
divorce
or
talaq
means
couples
who
are
above
50
and
are
choosing
to
part
ways
after
years
of
staying
in
marriage.
Thankfully,
social
norms
are
changing,
and
women
and
men
are
becoming
increasingly
independent,
and
living
life
on
their
own
terms.
This
quirky
term
is
given
because
of
the
hair
color
many
elderly
people
have
in
this
age,
which
is
grey
and
the
color
is
associated
with
silver.
Hence,
this
divorce
is
called
Silver
Divorce.
This means simply living a separate life than living together and according to National Center for Health Statistics data, the divorce rate among those aged 50 and over doubled between 1990 and 2015. However, this trend is associated with numerous factors such as changes in societal values, and expectations, improved financial stability, independence, empty nest syndrome, etc.
No matter what the reason is, it is becoming popular for sure in India.
