COVID-19 AND DIVORCE

When you tie the knot, you bring families closer and when you break the vow, you destroy generations

Divorce is not only the termination of marriage but the termination of relations.

Everything is shattered once the relation binding the families together is broken.

This world has lately into many problems which include COVID-19 also. Everyone in us would know about this viral disease. The only way to stop or minimize its spread is to adopt some proper measures and government of not only Pakistan but also of the whole world is trying to keep their public safe. One of the finest methods is a smart lock down.

Smart lock down is the only best way to ensure social distancing and protecting yourself and your beloved ones. This on the other hand has negative impacts on the society and physical and mental health of the people most likely in developing countries like Pakistan.

Divorce ratio has increased to a considerable level after people are continuously being expelled out of their jobs. Yes, expelling from a job is the only thing companies or institutions are trying to do as they have no work done in the past few months due to lock down, and hence no revenue generated according to them. Due to this reason, they are unable to pay for their works.

Expelling one from the job ultimately causes many domestic problems. This includes no proper management of the house and no money in the house means not having anything to give to children and wife. The result of all this violence is the termination of the relationship between two partners which may destroy their children's mental and physical health.

Children are the flowers of the garden. The water which keeps the flowers happy is the love of parents showered on a child. When the child is not able to find happiness between the people he loves, he withers like a flower. Children never dream only about either mother or a father, they dream about both of them living a pretty blessed life.

When the parents get divorced, they take away the dreams of their children. The conscience of a child is killed and one doesn’t need to be the killer to kill a living. When parents go on their separate ways, they have no idea how bad a child is affected through it.

Psychologically being affected, the children may find themselves the cause of divorce. They may go into depression and chose wrong paths like becoming a drug addict. They are unable to face society with a fear of being bullied. They crave for mother’s lap and father’s protection. Often, the continuous disputes between parents cause him to hate them. The future of children comes at stake.

There are many cases disclosed where children had killed their parents out of anger and depression. Sometimes, they commit suicide themselves. When a child buries anxiety, stress, anger, depression, and all mixed emotions in his heart, it becomes a volcano. The ongoing life of children never remains the same as before.

A child is scattered and smashed not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Because of this, a child is never able to trust anyone again.

The parents should understand that when they divorce, they are not the only ones who are affected, they may be the first ones but the plague hits everyone around especially the children.
