Divorce cases are more in educated & affluent families, with education and affluence comes arrogance and then families fall apart: Mohan Bhagwat
New Delhi|On Sunday, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat referring to the rise in the divorce rate in India said that India has no option other than a Hindu society and Hindu society has no option but to behave like a family.
Bhagwat was addressing RSS workers here, who were present there along with their family members. “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,” said the RSS Chief.
“We expect swayamsevaks to tell their family members about their activities in the Sangh, because many times women members of the family have to carry out more painful work than us to ensure that we can do what we do,” he said.
“The condition of the society is because of the customs that have been practising here for the last 2,000 years. Women we have here were confined to homes. This was not the case 2,000 years ago. That was the golden age of our society,” Bhagwat said.

“Hindu society should be virtuous and organised, and when we say society, it is not only men. Society is the one which gets its identity due to its sense of belonging,” he said.
“I am a Hindu, I respect the places of reverence associated with all faiths. But I am firm regarding my own place of reverence. I have got my ‘sanskar’ from my family, and it is ‘matru shakti’ which teaches us so,” he was quoted as saying in the statement.
“There is no society without a household, and women, who comprise half of the society, should become more enlightened. But if we do not care about our society, then neither we will survive, nor our family,” he said.
“A husband and wife are involved in a contract under which the husband has said that you should take care of my house and I will take care of all your needs. I will keep you safe. So, the husband follows the contract terms. Till the time, the wife follows the contract, the husband stays with her, if the wife violates the contract, he can disown her,” Bhagwat had said in 2013 in Indore.
