Sangeeta Maisnam
Abstract
This review paper explores the impact of socio-economic conditions on the divorce rate in India, with a specific focus on North East India. The study synthesizes existing literature to understand how factors such as income, education, urbanization, and employment influence marital stability. By examining the interplay between socio-economic status and divorce, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends and underlying causes of marital dissolution in the Indian context. Special attention is given to North East India, where unique socio-cultural dynamics and economic conditions present distinct patterns. The findings suggest that while traditional values still play a significant role, socio-economic factors are increasingly contributing to the rising divorce rates.
