Abstract Background: Financial infidelity has become the serious cause of marital breakdown. It occurs due to unsatisfactory economic conditions with the result of poor communication and certain expectations. Money has become one of the major issues of stresses and strains in marriage. The more the increased number of bankruptcies, the high the number of divorce cases. So money related issues are frequently recognizing as a reason of divorce. Aim: The aim of the study is to identify the statistics of disturbed marriages due to unsatisfactory financial condition of husbands. In addition, it also explores certain adverse effects of financial crisis on marital relationships which become the cause of adverse outcomes. Methodology: Using a sample of 300 women involved in divorce cases from the four districts (Patiala, Sangrur, Barnala and Fatehgarh Sahib) in Punjab, structured interview schedule is designed to collect data. Results: Results have found that nearby 50 per cent (47.6 per cent) of marriages are disturbed due to unsatisfactory financial condition of husbands that become the serious cause of women’ involvement in divorce petitions. Conclusion: Financial crisis in marriage is not simply money problem and no common strategy works for every couple. Couples may have to explore certain situations and start all over after a failure by strengthening their bond. Seeking marriage counseling may assist couples to overcome these issues as long as both partners are willing to work upon it.
