What is the reason for the breakdown of marriages in UAE?
Family counselors and psychologists have given many reasons for the breakdown of marriages in the UAE. One of the major reasons for this is cheating on the partner or extra marital affair. Apart from this, lack of commitment to marriage, lack of communication, physical abuse or abuse, social media, refusal of one of the spouses to fulfill responsibilities and unfulfilled expectations.
Dr. Dolly Hubble, a clinical psychologist working with Advance Cure, told Khaleej Times about marriages falling apart quickly, that a lack of commitment to marriage and responsibility leads to divorce in many marriages. Hut people prepare for the wedding day, not for the wedding. When partners are not devoted to each other, they may fail to maintain their relationship.”
