Till I.T Does Us Part
The I.T or Information Technology boom has begun to seek its pound of flesh. In Bangalore, one of its metro hubs, rocketing divorce rates are beginning to worry social scientists.

Statistics reveal that in 2006 alone, 1,246 cases of divorce pertaining to those in the IT sector have landed in the matrimonial courts in Bangalore. Financial freedom, lack of time at home, erratic working hours, work pressure, financial security and stress are being seen as the main reasons for this fiasco.

What is most worrisome is that the number of divorce cases pertaining to those in the IT sector has seen a steady rise since 2003, and that this sector is becoming one of the largest contributors of broken marriages.

In 2003, the number of cases from the IT sector was 283 while in 2004 it went up to 526. Statistics available show that in 2005 the figure went up to 946 and in 2006 the figure was 1,246.

The year 2007 has not been too kind. The statistics available till June 2007 state that the number of divorce cases from the IT sector is 828 already.

Experts state that the figure is likely to increase by the end of the year.

In the year 2003, the total number of divorce cases, including the ones from the IT sector was 1,280 while in 2004 it was 1,240. In 2005 and 2006, the figures were 1,860 and 2,493 respectively.
