摘要：
Divorced individuals in India and the United States experience similar problems with economic adequacy, social support, and psycholooical well-being. Furthermore, the predictors of divorce adjustment are similar in both societies. However, Indian women experience more problems than Indian men; they also appear to suffer more hardship than American women. Three factors are responsible for this pattern: Indian women's economic dependence on men, Indian cultural beliefs about women and marriage, and the patriarchal organization of the Indian joint family.
