TO D OR NOT TO D WORKING TOWARDS AN AMICABLE DIVORCE
Is an amicable divorce an oxymoron?
Caught between tradition and modernity, most Indians have mixed feelings about divorce. Is it
the Indian thing to do? Is it fair to the children? Can married people seeking separation for life
learn to accept their changed feelings for each other with equanimity? Divorce is never the easy
option in the face of marital toxicity. And yet, sometimes it’s a necessary one, even if as a last
resort. To help couples navigate the minefields in the divorce terrain, To D or Not to D explores
the phenomenon in depth and looks at some things men and woman may never have thought
about—but which they probably should have before taking such a life-changing decision.
As always, Dr Vijay Nagaswami, best-selling author of the New Indian Marriage series, takes
the reader down roads that need to be travelled with a light tread, pointing out along the way
what one needs to keep in mind before taking a decision and that if indeed the decision to D
has to be taken, an amicable divorce is neither a mirage nor an oxymoron.

Our office buildings have exit plans in case of a disaster, but what about marriage? We seldom go into a marriage thinking about divorce. However like most things many marriages arnt meant to last forever and Divorce becomes the way out.
Vijay does a wonderful job of taking the reader through the whole process and provides is interesting statistics and guiding points to ponder upon too.
So irrespective of your marital status, I believe it's a interesting read for sure.

Vijay is a master storyteller. He can translate emotions into words. This book is an eye opener for today's youth who jump into the divorce bandwagon without analysing the aftermath of divorce. The social stigma, Economic and Emotional Impacts on you, friends, family and CHILDREN!
It was a quick read and helps people in taking steps towards an amicable divorce (If you really really have to).
