Abstract
India is known for its traditional values, great culture and strong family values, but one of the biggest concerns is the rate of divorce which has been rising on a day-to-day basis. Though the divorce rates in India are low as compared to the other nations (only 1%), but the picture cannot be considered to be absolutely true as divorce is discouraged in our society and there are various social stigmas attached to the term “divorce” amongst the people. The divorce rates in metropolitan cities are also increasing at a very fast pace. In this paper, the researcher discusses the impact of social media on married relationships. The researcher attempts to explain how social media is responsible for the increasing number of divorces.
