Conventionally, divorce is considered a psychological trauma for the individuals partying ways with their partners.

However, a few people see-fit aberrant ways to fight their agony.

As per reports, the girl in the photos went through a divorce some time back and was called on for the celebrations by one of her close friends.

The post stirred frenzy on social media with several people engaged in fiery arguments over the nature of the celebration.

For the most part, social media users maintained that to enjoy freedom from a toxic relationship is the girl’s right.

Celebrating freedom is basic right of all, even it is from any disliked human or animal…..

Similarly, a few others were of the view that people endure their ball games as per their druthers.

A minority took the matter gravely for upcoming generations and maintained that the celebration can set off as a trend or fashion in upcoming years.

But happy Divorce slogan tou theek nahi hai.

A few of the users asserted that not all happening in life requires a celebration.

This is disgusting, ridiculous and shameful…
Absolutely against the norms of our society..
Divorced lady or man should be given due respect and treated like a normal person, it should and must not be a social stigma / taboo, but celebrating it, doesn’t make any sense 2 me
