Furthermore of course there is wide spectrum of factors affecting the trend and much speculation could be made. But I don't think that is the point of the report. Otherwise the newspaper will be a single issue and as thick as a college textbook. A report should be 'limited' in personal assumption and opinions and 'contradicting hypotheses' as she was indirectly trying to suggest. Social issues are perpetual and ceaseless and there will never be a complete report of on-going issues.
Reporters have a responsibility to their country and their readers.
Though I am sure talk about the increasing number of divorces amongst Muslims has been under process long time ago, it has now increased. For instance just shortly after the report, Imams were talking about it during last week's Friday prayers. This shows it was a responsible report. This sort of issue must be reported just as much as the frequent fire reports. We know there will always be more fire and accidents but we still have to report each one of them, similarly there will still be social issues and we still need to read them.
