"Grey" divorce is defined as a divorce of couples who opt to end their marriage at age 50 and, more or less, the same age. This is also known as "silver splitting." Earlier, particularly in India, marriage life used to be tolerated despite hardship in the relation because of the pressure from society. But nowadays, everything is different. They talk about feeling, fulfilling themselves, becoming financially independent, and gaining happiness in their lives. Grey divorce is a trend recently followed by several celebrities in India. For instance, the renowned music composer AR Rahman has ended his marriage to Saira Banu after almost three decades of togetherness. Similarly, former cricketer Virender Sehwag and wife Aarti, who were married in 2004 and have two sons, Aryavir and Vedant, are said to have separated. The couple has already unfollowed each other on Instagram, indicating a change within their personal lives. Sehwag often shares family and wife-related posts in his social media, but in the recent past, wife was missing from his photographs while celebrating Diwali. Though neither of the two has stated anything about them being separated officially. In the older days, society forced the couple to be together and divorces were something that everyone dreaded. Just uttering the word "divorce" was like carrying a weight on one's shoulders in India. But those times are gone. The concept of discussing divorce is becoming easy, and it is accepted that a great relationship does not have to last forever. Grey divorces even after decades of marriage are happening now. In a world where new terms for modern relationships seem to emerge every year, "grey divorce" has gained more attention, especially in light of the ongoing rumors about Sehwag and Aarti's separation after more than 20 years of marriage. The term has once again surged in popularity on search engines. Here are 10 key facts about their divorce:
