What is the significance of divorce?

Divorce is merely a symptom of a deeper misunderstanding; when love is conscious, the need for legal bonds dissolves.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, divorce has no ultimate significance; it's a useless remedy for a wrong diagnosis. You marry out of lack of judgment, divorce out of lack of patience, and remarry out of lack of memory. The real issue is institutional marriage itself. Remove compulsory marriage and the need for divorce vanishes; live in conscious love rather than legal bonds.
Divorce is just a side-effect of the institution of marriage; if marriage weren’t imposed, no one would need divorce.
Why this matters practically
- See divorce as a symptom and question the motives behind marriage.
- Prioritize conscious, living love over legal obligation.
- Cultivate patience and awareness to avoid repeating unconscious relationship cycles.
