Addressing the RSS workers in Ahmedabad, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had said that divorce cases have increased in the recent years. He said: "Nowadays the number of divorce cases have increased a lot. People fight over trifle issues. The cases of divorce are more in educated and affluent families because with education and affluence comes arrogance, as a result of which families fall apart. The society also falls apart because society is also a family," Bhagwat was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the RSS.
