DISCRIMINATION ON DIVORCE or SEPARATED WOMEN

Why do women file a divorce, get annulled, or separated from their husbands? Well there are different kinds of grounds. Though it may be true that some, found to be at fault in the separation, it may also be true that many women are victims of maltreatment, unfaithfulness, and denial of their rights, just to name a few.

Yet after a legal separation, either divorce or annulment, discrimination is the cancerous attack for us women! Many people see us like individuals not worthy to love, to be loved, to get married again, to build our own family. Especially if we have children and they live with us, seem to be a big issue. But why?!

Everyone is entitled to be happy, to stand after a fall. Yet how can we achieve this when people discriminates us, and denies us the right to stand, to be proud, and live a normal life that every woman deserves?

Will it be a clear vision that after a woman trusts a man, get married, share all that she have, yet failed and get separated, do not have the chance to live a life with joy with a man she could spend with, her old age? What a pitiful scenario for all of us women who can't tell if we may have a successful marriage or not! That after a failure, it will be like a Scarlet Letter worn on every woman's neck being discriminated and mocked by everyone and be treated like someone who got AIDS and already incurable!

What a lousy belief! What a cruel society! What a judgmental people who maltreats every woman like me! God bless all of you who look down on us!
