There are many reasons:

  • Women work outside of the house now and can support themself and their family with or without the help of the husband.
  • The vows taken were taken more seriously when religion was more a part of the nuclear family. To many people they are now just words.
  • The property laws that prevented women from leaving have been modernized and they can take their separately owned property and their share of their marital property with them in the case of a divorce. Modernization of laws and the fading away of a male-dominated society in the Western world has made divorce more common and more accessible.
  • Women are no longer considered the property of their husbands and they do not have to leave their children behind if they leave the marriage as they did in the past.
  • Divorced women are no longer shunned by society.
  • People do not take marriage as seriously as they did in the past.
