Hyderabad youth preferring 'second marriages'

By Ayaan Khan

Hyderabadis are emotional and most of them do not hesitate to walk of out of their existing marriages in search of emotional companions.

Though their first marriage remains an unhappy affair, many Hyderabadis are willing to have a second marriage in the hope of finding emotional solace.

An online study conducted by popular website -- www.secondshaadi.com -- revealed that about 37 per cent people were seeking divorce due to lack of emotional compatibility with their spouses.

About 15 per cent are ending their marriages due to sexual incompatibility of their partners. Twelve per cent of the folks end their relationships because their spouses indulge in extramarital affairs.

Also, orientation towards one’s career and incompatibility with in-laws are fast emerging as primary reasons for divorces in Hyderabad.

The survey was conducted online among members of Secondshaadi.com in two sections -- common reasons for divorce and common reasons for remarriage.

Secondshaadi’s CEO Vivek said the prime motive for a second marriage among Hyderabadis was their desire for an emotional relationship.

“We feel that our survey will help us analyse the reasons for separation to help our members in overcoming their inhibitions,” he said.
