Family Breaking is an issue of National Security
Family Breaking can create serious socio-economic problems in India. International Studies and statistics have found that children from broken families have a very high risk of taking to crime and drugs. In Asian countries, there is a growing risks young children from broken families joining anti-nationals and extremist groups like Maoists.
US has experimented with radical forms of women’s empowerment and today it has ended up with a high crime rate in spite of having one of the best law enforcement systems in the world.
Children from broken families in US are:
- 4.6 times more likely to commit Suicide.
- 6.6 times to become teenaged mothers (if they are girls, of course),
- 24.3 times more likely to run away,
- 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders,
- 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institutions,
- 10.8 times more likely to commit rape,
- 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school,
- 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenager.
- 33 times more likely to be seriously abused (so that they will require medical attention), and
- 73 times more likely to be killed.
In Fact, one out of 4 teenage girls in US have contacted at least one Sexually Transmitted Disease (according to Center for Disease Control).
India has much higher population that US and India does not have social security system. So, the crime and extremist activities in India may go to a whole new level if India’s age old family system is broken with the excuse of empowering women and premarital sex is promoted as a state policy.
It is important for not only India, but also the world world to make sure that family systems do not break in poor and highly populated countries. It is not only a National Security issue for any nation, but important for security of the whole world.
