Re: Avoiding Divorce ....
All divorce stories are horrific and mostly involve one extremely opinionated and unfair individual. However, I should warn against portraying girls as victims in all the cases, and categorizing men and their families as evil. At least in the educated Pakistani circles (major urban areas within Pakistan) this is no longer the case. Things have changed much.
I know of several very recent cases where girls behaved totally irrationally and unfairly towards the husbands and their families, despite the latter party doing everything to save the marriage. In all the cases, the poor-girl-victim-card was used extremely effectively by the girls to get out of the marriage to either marry a former flame or pursue material goals after realizing that marriage and family is too much of a responsibility for them to handle. Left some very responsible, mature and decent guys wondering where did they go wrong.
