<\/a>Domestic abuse though disliked and discouraged by the society at large continues to prevail in some limited sections of society even today. In our practice, we come across a number of cases where abuse is one of the primary or even the only reason that a spouse wants to divorce<\/a> their spouse. This is something that needs to be encouraged more than it is being encouraged in this day and age.<\/p>\n The number of people who go through domestic abuse in their marriage and those that file for divorce on this basis are incomparable. Only a handful of people that should opt out of their marriages because of domestic violence<\/a> actually do it. This can be attributed to the social stigma that continues to be felt in some sections with regards to a divorce, and otherwise because the abused feel helpless to do anything.<\/p>\nReluctance & Feeling Helpless<\/h2>\n
