In a poor economy, even marriages are set to fail

Covid-19 did not just kill thousands of people. It killed marriages. The economy collapsed and stopped working for almost two years. It has not recovered yet. And its collapse is taking the humanity we have for each other with it. Men lost their jobs and some have not regained them since 2020.

Women were beaten up more often during lockdown as they were losing jobs too and we have been in survival mode since then. Marriages have taken a strong hit. Nothing could hold things together with all the economic struggles that hit households in the lower social hierarchy.
