High Ratio of Divorce and its Rationale in Pakistan

Abstract

Relationships are the basis of all civilized society. A family is the first and immediate unit for every child. She or he is born into and is considered as a full member of a family. A family is a recognized group of people who are joined together by a marriage commitment. However, it is sad when one of the family members – husband or wife - give up; stops compromising e.g.: on psycho, social and domestic issues and have no alternative but to accept the worse solution - and agree to separate. Consequently, the relationship and the family begin to disintegrate. The total number of respondents on which this research was accomplished with the help of questionnaires and interviews was 170 children -10 to 18 years of age and selected through comprehensive sampling techniques from various Secondary Schools and other Institutions. The data collected were analyzed through the use of simple percentages and multi-variate and bi-variate methods.
