The divorce rate in India is still quite low when compared to, say, the United States. It seems that while not everyone is accepting of divorce, some attitudes are changing:

In a crowded courtroom on the city's outskirts, the once unthinkable is reality: dozens of couples - rich and poor, educated and barely literate - seek divorce for reasons as varied as domestic violence to a simple inability to live together.

But as the economy has boomed, the rigid boundaries governing traditional Indian life are beginning to fall, especially among the growing urban middle class.
