The Public Perception of Divorcees

Divorce is a sad end to the once celebrated union between a man (husband) and woman (wife) called marriage. Expectedly, marriage should terminate at the point of death of one of the partners in the union or both. But for one reason or another the partners may suddenly realise that they are not compatible. There are many reasons that may result in the dissolution of marriage. Some of these may be childlessness, infidelity, financial crises, sex denial, impotence, to mention just a few.
Divorce is not without its own social and psychological consequences, especially going by the way and manner the society trains its members on how to perceive divorce and divorcees.
In many instances, we often take it for granted that divorce can take place without any issues. But experience has shown that this assumption is not a true reflection of the reality on ground. Researches have shown that there are ways society perceives divorcees that shows that they are actually carrying more burdens than merely discontinuing their marital relationships with their husbands.
