Abstract
While marriage brings us a new set of familial relationships, such relationships may be dissolved through death, divorce or distance as sociologists put it. Divorce interrupts the cycle of family development, forcing family members to alter their expectations and to create new ways of life, new households, new relationships etc. Though marriage and family are known as the highest ideals and values for almost all the people and are supported by religion and wisdom, but they increasingly happen to be dissolved by divorce due to various social and development forces. The quality of social system counts much for the rate and frequency of divorce. In our hypotheses, development is taken as a key factor influencing and increasing the incidence of divorce. In the same manner, causes and consequences of the problem will be analyzed. Socio-economic development also affects the behavior, beliefs and attitudes of the young families in particular; often leading to divorce among them. For the appraisal of this phenomenon, various techniques of research have been used. As found out in the research, "age-factor" plays much in the incidence of divorce.
