Why is divorce increasing?
Professor of Mental Health at Beni Suef University, Rasha El-Gendy, says that “divorce rates are increasing in Egyptian and Arab society in general, and not only in the artistic community.”.
Al-Jundi indicated in statements to “Sky News Arabia”, that “the spotlight on the artistic community and the news of celebrities in the media made people feel that divorce exists only in this category!”
On the reason behind the increase in divorce, she said: “The divorce rates have increased due to the pressures of life and the inability of individuals to bear it. There is also a big problem for married couples, which lies in communication.”
And she continued: “The problem of communication between the two parties is increasing, which is caused by social networking sites, which have contributed to bringing about a major change within the family and society.”.
She explained that psychology studies indicate that the use of the senses “increases emotional bonds and relationships between people.”“.
She stressed that the frequent use and reliance on social media “reduced communication between people in the real world, which reflects on the family relationship and increases divorce rates.”.
She concluded her speech to “Sky News Arabia” by saying: “Social media increased the individual’s sense of unity and the lack of feeling for the second party in the relationship and his needs, which led to bad intentions, which necessarily leads to the failure of married life.”
