no divorce in hindi

for the last few days i have been searching for the hindi word for divorce. but apparently there's none. which brings me to this perplexing thought that they really believed in the '7 janmo ka rishta' philosophy. and this isn't comforting.
apparently, the hindu way of thinking also emphasises the existence of opposites. so beautifully highlighted in the movie Aks. so, if there's a 'shaadi', there should also be a, you know what i mean.
but then, history also gives us an example. ram had separated from sita. but nomenclature didnt adopt the act. so i guess the act is quite prevalent. but when you talk about it, as rahul puts, one comes at a loss of words.

Well....There certainly was the law of seperation in those days too...Talakh as we commonly know of it...you might insist on that emerging out of Islam...Hindus referred to it as Vivaah Vichhedh...hindi shabd kosh se...therefore the liberties to rewrite your destiny was always open!

that sounds like a last moment rectification. thanks for searching the dictionary though.
