Author(s): Ananya Tripathi and Mrityunjay Kumar Rai
Abstract: Divorce is a significant societal phenomenon that extends far beyond the dissolution of marriage, triggering a ripple effect with profound societal and economic implications. This paper explores the multifaceted consequences of divorce, highlighting its impact on individuals, families, and broader communities. From an economic standpoint, the division of assets, financial instability, and changes in household income levels can create long-term financial struggles, particularly for single parents and children. On a societal level, divorce contributes to shifts in family structures, altering social norms and influencing child development, mental health, and well-being. Furthermore, the economic consequences of divorce can exacerbate inequality, particularly for women and marginalized groups. By examining these interconnected factors, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ripple effects of divorce, emphasizing the need for effective support systems, policies, and societal adaptations to mitigate its negative consequences.
