In the last fiscal year, a total of 304 cases of divorce were registered in the court, Regmi added.

The cases of divorce are on the rise in the district in recent years. 

It is said that the District Court has received more cases on divorce compared to other cases.

Regmi argued that foreign employment and family feuds are the key issues behind divorce cases. 

“Misuse of social networking sites, mass media, economic issues, drug abuse, and domestic violence has also led to the divorce of the couple,” he added.

The Court has finalised 63.11 per cent cases in the fiscal year 2078/79.
