GP DISCUSSIONS.

Divorce has been a rampant plague in the society. The latest statistics is unbelievable!! The odds are that 1 out of every 2 marriages will fail! Many relationships these days in the world do not even enter a "marriage" state - people just live together until they get sick of each other.

The cost to society is enormous as the prevalence of a single parenthood will cause the children to experience emotional brunt of a divorce at such a tender age. They are unlikely to cope with the cold heart fact that they have to witness the separation of their loves ones. Over the years, it may develop a psychological barrier that will hinder the child of stepping into a love relationship with the other sex. Also, the pain and suffering inflicted continues long after a divorce is finalized.

Also, broken couples have to undergo a torrid period of time to pick themselves up after divorcing which may cause a significant impact on their work productivity. Emotionally and mentally, they might be too traumatized and they will start to produce sub-standard quality work. Hence it will affect the whole society as a whole. Therefore i strongly agree the fact that divorce is a social ill that will cause devastating effects to the society.
