In our grandparents generation, why are there so few divorces?

In the grandparents' generation, free love rarely existed, and most of them were introduced by others and then married after meeting a few times, and spent their lives with this person. Why is it that divorce is rare in such marriages? It is mainly caused by the following reasons:

Socio-environmental reasons

The grandparents' generation was still in a relatively feudal period, and in that era, women may not be allowed to dress too revealingly, etc., and some of them conform to the rules of that society.

In those days, divorce was considered shameful. If you are divorced and it is difficult for you to get married again, people will poke you in the back and discuss you behind your back. In such a social situation, no matter whether the marriage is happy or not, no one will choose to divorce.

After the divorce, women cannot find anything to rely on

In those days, there were also communes, and everyone had to rely on food stamps in exchange for food, and they had to do heavy work every day to get food stamps. For women, it is true that their physical strength is not as good as that of men, and the workload will naturally decrease, so if women divorce men, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for them to survive.

Therefore, in order to survive well, women will definitely not divorce men easily. Some people may criticize this kind of thinking and think that this kind of behavior is too bad, but this is the reality, people always have to live, especially in that era when there is not enough food and clothing, it is more convenient to have a man in the family for everything.

In summary, in that context, the divorce rate is very low, because society is critical of divorce, and women will lose their dependence after divorce. But this can't help but reflect on our current marriage, everyone is now well fed and clothed, even if divorced, everyone can live well, and the society has not criticized divorce too much, so our divorce rate has increased greatly now. Because the cost of divorce is too small, there is too little consideration when getting married.

Therefore, when we get married, we must be cautious, and we can't get married with the mentality of divorce if it is not suitable.

They are more feudal in their thinking, they think that divorce is not good for their reputation, they think more about it, they care about other people's eyes and opinions, and they would rather make do with it for the rest of their lives than divorce.

In our grandparents' generation, it may be because of feudal thinking, so the older generation is generally loyal to a marriage and will not divorce easily.

At that time, people were very simple-minded and thought that divorce was a shameful thing.

In our grandparents' generation, because the people's concept is more traditional, they believe that "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog", so there are very few divorces!

The people of their generation are mainly children, even if they can't go on, they will endure it, and live together in order to give their children a complete home.

Legal Analysis: Yes.

Legal basis: "Several Specific Answers of the Supreme People's Court on the Handling of Child Support Issues in Divorce Cases by People's Courts" Article 4: The conditions for raising children are basically the same for both fathers and mothers, and both parties require the children to live with them, but where the children have lived alone with their grandparents for many years, and the grandparents request and have the ability to help the children take care of their grandchildren, they may be considered as a priority condition for the children to live with their parents.

Legal Analysis: Regardless of which parent is directly raised, it is the children of both parties. If one of the parents has difficulties in life and has no ability to raise the child, the child can still request the parent with the ability to raise him or her in accordance with the provisions of "parents have the obligation to raise and educate their children", and the court will also support this request.

In the same way, a child who does not support a parent who is old and becomes incapacitated to work and does not accept support from one of his parents must also fulfill the obligation to support the elderly and take care of the elderly. No child has the right to refuse to fulfill the responsibility of supporting his or her parents in order to support him/herself.
