Facebook cited in 1/3rd of divorces

December 31:

London, December 31: Facebook was cited as a reason for a third of broken marriages last year and is increasingly being used as a source of evidence in divorce cases.

A law firm called Divorce-Online said that 33% of the 5,000 behaviour based divorce petitions filed with the firm in the past year mentioned the site.

“Facebook has become the primary method for communicating with friends for many people,” the Daily Mail quoted Mark Keenan, managing director of Divorce-Online, as saying.

“People contact ex-partners and the messages start as innocent, but lead to trouble

“If someone wants to have an affair or flirt with the opposite sex then it’s the easiest place to do it,” he said.

The most common reasons for Facebook causing problems in relationships were a spouse finding flirty messages, photos of their partner at a party they did not know about or with someone they should not have been with.

“If you are keeping things from your partner, Facebook makes it so much easier for them to find out,” Anne-Marie Hutchinson, of Dawson Cornwell Solicitors said.

Hutchinson said that the site could also be used as evidence of unreasonable behaviour.

“If you are complaining that they have a drinking problem and they have posted statuses about going out on the razzle... that could be used,” she added.

Protect your children

Keep your children off these sites, facebook, youtube or smiliar social media sites. Lust has taken over these sites and this is the begining. People need to understand their is life without these sites.

Not only in Divorces, all other IMMORAL ACTS...

The very reason I hate using FACEBOOK is that there is no secrecy and no decency from its users. People unnecessarily involve in your account and free to pass on message which is open to the world to see. Ofcourse privacy settings apply, but hardly people care to apply/use it.
This site is not only responsible for being the very reasons for so many divorces, but for sure this site is having all kinds of immoral things to offer. Unless and untill parents start taking special attention of their kids from these sites, there is a high chance the society will loose its morals and will start living in VIRTUAL WORLD.
This site organisers were very smart, firstly they started saying its a great and easy way to communicate for school lost friends, than they say relatives and friends, and then on saying business.... And now you will see this pain in the ass in everywhere. Even if you want to comment on any news site or sports site directly or indirectly it is related to Facebook, why what for has anybody try to ask NO! This is a site developed by a Zionist to get in all data of the silly people who feels that Facebook is the place to be always share and explore. Plese OPEN YOUR EYES people, this poison is spreading slowly but surely. If agenda or point the Zionist want to spread, they are doing it through this site on the name of debate or survey. No matter how hard you try your kids to avoid such controversial things, but they are getting easy access through Facebook and this way the youth of India is spoiling their future.
