"This house believes divorce is a social ill" Do you agree?

Agree
1. Give the future generations a wrong mindset about marriage
Children who come from broken families or who have witnessed divorce may have this mindset that getting married is useless which will eventually lead to divorce. They will grow up with this mindset and in the future there will be lesser people getting married. Thus, this will create a social ill in the near future.

2. Create a huge impact on the children's life.
When parents are going through divorce, children are the one who are very confused with what is happening in their families. At this period of time, some children tend to stray as they have a need to relieve the anger, sadness and denial in them. Therefore many turn to bad deeds such as shoplifting, glue-sniffing, vandalising etc which is, in my opinion, a social ill.


Disagree
1. Child is still able to grow up as one good citizen.
Divorce actually only matters two parties and not the society. Even though children who come from single parent family do have a higher chance of getting strayed but the role of the parent do matter. If a couple, after divorce, still continues to give the child the attention that he or she needs, the child is still able to grow up as one good citizen. After all the child is the innocent party thus, with proper care and concern he will grow up to be one good citizen.

2. Lesser cases of abused family or marriages.
For a couple with lots of disagreement with each other, there is a higher chance of getting into a fight. This will also in turn lead to abuse. Therefore with divorce, a couple can prevent the abused family rate to increase because divorce is able to resolve all the disagreement between a couple.

Thus divorce to a certain extent is a social ill.
