Education and affluence drive families to divorce, says Mohan Bhagwat

Ahmedabad: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday courted controversy after he said that divorce cases are found more in “educated and affluent” families nowadays, as education and affluence brings arrogance along, which results in families falling apart.

Addressing RSS workers in Ahmedabad, Bhagwat said, “Nowadays the number of divorce cases have increased a lot. People fight over trifle issues. The cases of divorce are more in educated and affluent families, because with education and affluence comes arrogance, as a result of which families fall apart. The society also falls apart because society is also a family.”

Another user wrote, ”Yes because educated women don’t take shit lying down,sobbing in the pillow. Education brings in confidence and we know there is a life beyond marriage too. Divorce is a commitment with one’s own self to not to live in an unhappy life ever.”
