Select a stage of divorce »
It's not exactly First Wives World, but a Web site for divorcees in India is yet another indication of how much attitudes about divorce have changed in that vast country.
We've written recently about how divorce is on the rise in India as the country's traditional social mores are receding. Now, there's a new site called SecondShaadi.com, geared toward helping India's divorcees find romance again. "Shaadi," by the way, is the Hindi word for marriage.
While attitudes are changing, one man quoted in a Reuters report on SecondShaadi says that there’s still a stigma attached to divorce in India. No doubt, divorcees there are happy to have a helping hand, like a dating site created especially for them. Online for just two months, the site's registered 6,000 people.We feel a little bit of kinship with SecondShaadi. Our goal here at FWW is to offer you a place to share your thoughts, feelings and frustrations ahout your post-divorce life, but also your hopes for creating a new life. We are here for you to share with one another.
We all know it’s easy to feel like nobody else knows what you’re going through after your marriage splits up. But, of course, there’s a whole community of us who know all about it. And it seems like SecondShaadi might gain a lot of traction as a place for divorced women in India to communicate with one another about their shared experience.

That's wonderful
It's great to see people in India looking at divorce as a new beginning rather than a judgement.
