A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court has decried what it calls the present trend of breaking the nuptial tie for flimsy or selfish reasons and observed that the consumer culture of ‘use and throw’ seems to have influenced matrimonial relationships.
The Bench comprising Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Sophy Thomas, while dismissing recently an appeal filed by a man from Alappuzha against the dismissal of his divorce plea by a family court, observed that nowadays the younger generation thought that marriage was an evil that could be avoided to enjoy free life without any liabilities or obligations.
“They would expand the word ‘WIFE’ as Worry Invited For Ever, substituting the old concept of Wise Investment For Ever,” the court added. Live-in relationships were on the rise, just to say goodbye when they fall apart, the court observed.
