According to a 2019 Gallup and Gilani Pakistan survey, the divorce rate in Pakistan has reached an all-time high.
According to the survey, 58 percent of Pakistanis believe that divorce rates have increased in the country. It goes on to say that two out of every five Pakistanis believe their in-laws are to blame for the majority of these cases. The pandemic of Covid-19 is also one of the reasons for an increase in divorce proceedings in Pakistan, particularly in 2020 and 2021.
The high number of cases of depression and anxiety among people who work from home with few activities to do is unsurprising. Furthermore, many couples experienced privacy issues.
Relationship troubles with no room to open up and address stresses for both men and women added to the Covid-19 depressions.
This has resulted in several occurrences of domestic violence, as well as a considerable number of cases of intimate partner violence.
