Why does society make divorce your whole personality, especially for women? While marriage is treated as a sacred institution, divorce is interpreted as failure.
The shame and stigma associated with separation often make women stay in toxic and unhappy marriages at the risk of compromising their physical and mental health. When women do go ahead with the legal procedure, it can be mentally exhausting to go through court proceedings especially without a support system.
Writer and entrepreneur Shasvathi Siva joined us on Re:Set Dialogues to share how she’s helping women understand divorce is normal. Watch her talk about the mental health impact of divorce and the importance of a support system.
