All said and done about the economic development, social upgràdation and high literacy which are the fundamental build up factors of families advanced countries in the world have miserably failed in strengthening homes in the atmosphere of contentment, happiness and peace. Dispite many disadvantages like umpteen number of languages, culture, religion and biological, geographical, climatic etc we Indians could maintain strong family bondage, that too the strongest in the world. Similarly, religion wise the lowest number divorce takes place among Hindus and the highest in Christianity. In comparison with other religions Hinduism must be the most flexible religion with no bindings or strict observance in worship. This make the people to have  free approach to temples and gods and have larger outlook on themselves. And that must be the fundamental cause of stronger family bondage.
