Desertion

A divorce is an end to a marriage and the relation the man and her wife shared. The literal meaning of desertion is abandonment or running away. In simpler terms it is the condition in which one of the spouses leaves the other without saying anything or talking about it or telling anyone without the intention to come to the spouse again.

Desertion takes place only when the essence in the marriage stands nil or has decreased so much that one partner moves away without sharing his or her thoughts or talking to the spouse about the problem in their marriage.

There can be a lot of reasons behind desertion of a partner.

1. Low rate of interaction between the spouses that seems a gap, which make them more like strangers.
2. Career oriented individuals, if unable to give time to family and spouse.
3. Physical and mental abuse by the spouse or the family.
4. Not paying attention to the home needs and the children.
5. After sharing differences, both of them do not want to negotiate and move on without any questions for the other or any answer.

Desertion can also be after a lot of frustration which might cause a person to leave his partner and immediate family behind, that he decides to step out to never come back to live with them. If any of the spouses is leaving home and worried that they might be charged under the act of desertion. You can make sure that your spouse and children know about where you can be contacted so you continue to provide necessary support to the family.

This is not the right decision always, departing from the family home, to neglect everything that came with marriage, as it might prove fatal for the mental status of the kids and spouse alike. Often the right decision is to stay and continue to be with the family in the time of difficulty.

The legality concerned with abandonment and forsaking is often blown over.

1. Firstly, it has become less significant to prove the fault, and incompatibility as the ground for divorce is seen uninterestingly by the judges.
2. Secondly, it should be the fact that not only the spouse went away without telling anyone but also that the spouse whereabouts is kept as a secret from the family and /or has failed to support the family.
3. Lastly, the spouse, who has left the house, may be at a greater financial n social loss, than if it would have been a social divorce than a runaway separation.

Desertion in a marriage is heart breaking for everyone involved in the family, not just the two persons in the marriage, a counselor can help a lot in dealing with family relate matters.
