Full textAbstract:
The association between marital status and coronary artery disease (CAD) is supported by numerous epidemiological studies. While divorce may have an adverse effect on cardiac outcomes, the relationship between divorce and severe CAD is unclear. We conducted a multicenter, observational study of consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography during the period between April 1, 2013, and March 30, 2014. Of 1,068 patients, 124 (12%) were divorced. Divorce was more frequent among women (27%) compared to men (6%). Most divorced patients had been divorced only once (49%), but a subset had been divorced 2 (38%) or ≥3 (12%) times. After adjusting for baseline differences, there was no significant association between divorce and severe CAD in men. In women, there was a significant adjusted association between divorce and severe MVD (OR 2.31 [1.16, 4.59]) or LMD (OR 5.91 [2.19, 15.99]). The modification of the association between divorce and severe CAD by gender was statistically significant for severe LMD (Pinteraction 0.0008) and marginally significant for CAD (Pinteraction 0.05). Among women, there was a significant adjusted association between number of divorces and severe CAD (OR 2.4 [95% CI 1.2, 4.5]), MVD (OR 2.0 [95% CI 1.4, 3.0]), and LMD (OR 3.4 [95% CI 1.9, 5.9]). In conclusion, divorce, particularly multiple divorces, is associated with severe CAD, MVD, and LMD in women but not in men.

Full textAbstract:
Marriage is a contract that justifies a man and a woman, with a marriage contract to build a happy and prosperous family. The marriage process has been regulated in Law Number 1 of 1974 that every marriage must be carried out according to religious provisions and must be recorded. But what about the marriage law for women who are divorced outside the religious court, according to Law Number 1 of 1974 and according to Islamic Law? Because in practice, there are also marriages that are carried out without recording so that they do not have a marriage certificate. Similarly, the occurrence of divorces that are not carried out in front of the Religious Courts, so they do not have a divorce certificate or certificate. For women who are divorced without having a divorce certificate who will enter into a new marriage. So, to legalize the marriage, one must apply for a marriage isbath for divorce.

The study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of divorcees, children of divorce, and the coping strategies they employed in dealing with their situations. This is a qualitative study that adopted descriptive phenomenological approach. A total of 20 respondents comprising 14 divorced women and men, 6 children of divorcee were used in the study and sampled through snowball and purposive sampling techniques. Data was gathered using semi-structured interview, and focused group discussion guides. The study revealed that the divorcees experienced physical, mental, social and financial problems. Children of the divorcee significantly experienced stress, emotional pains, sorrow, and worry about their condition. Again, the study revealed that divorcees and children of divorcee faced many consequences, they were not aware of availability of counselling services that could help them. It was recommended, among others, that divorcees who are mostly single parents must be given marital counselling and/or post-traumatic stress management. Again, the establishment of community-based counselling centres in the Asogli state for this purpose would be laudable. Finally, the District Assembly, traditional rulers in the Asogli state, Civil Society Organisations, and government agencies should offer care and support services to divorcees and their children including scholarships to children from divorced homes.

Full textAbstract:
Some social commentators and social scientists have called for the strengthening of divorce laws, a call based, in part, on the apparently strong economic advantage marriage holds for women and their children. We focus on the question of whether divorced women would experience the same absolute levels of economic well-being by staying married as women who remain married experience. We also examine the argument that all women are economically vulnerable once marriage ends by examining whether the average married woman would, if she were to divorce, experience the same low levels of economic well-being as divorced women do. Using longitudinal data from the National Survey of Families and Households, we estimate endogenous switching regression models that simultaneously predict the odds of divorce and subsequent economic well-being for women who divorce and for those who remain married. Our calculations show that if divorced women were to remain married, their economic well-being would improve substantially but would not attain the level of women who remain married. We also find that if married women were to divorce, their average level of economic well-being would be about the same as that of divorced women, supporting the view that women's economic vulnerability outside of marriage is ubiquitous.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Aim: The high divorce rate in Indonesia has an impact on the number of divorced women. In Indonesia, women with divorced status are still stigmatised, whereas the stigma and perception of divorced women in the community are still skewed. The formation of a negative stigma from the community makes women who experience divorce face many problems that can increase stress and make women psychologically disturbed. To overcome the conflict experienced, individuals have a coping mechanism as a way to defend themselves against changes that occur both within themselves and from outside themselves. The purpose of this study was to explore the sources of stress and coping mechanisms for stress in divorced women in Cirebon Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Methods: This research was qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The research participants amounted to 8 women with a divorce status of less than 2 months who experienced mild and moderate stress in dealing with the new status of divorce in Cirebon Regency. The selection of research participants used a convenience sampling technique. Data collection methods using in-depth interview techniques and administering questionnaires perceived stress scale (PSS) to determine a person's level of psychological stress. Data analysis in this study used the Colaizzi method. This study identified two themes, namely the sources of stress of divorced women and coping mechanisms for stress built in divorced women. Results: Sources of stress included social status, negative stigma from society, the process of raising children without a husband, economic factors , fear of facing life in the future and relationships with ex-husbands and their families. These various stresses did not prevent divorced women from continuing their life process. This was because of the coping mechanisms made by divorced women so that the stress they experience did not harm their lives. These coping mechanisms included self-management, enjoying the process, diverting problems, telling other people about problems , strengthening spirituality and self-reflection. Conclusion: Divorced women struggle with numerous stressors. It is necessary to strengthen positive coping mechanisms and to overcome stigmas and prejudices in society towards divorced women.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract “Gray divorce,” or divorce which occurs in later life, is rapidly becoming more common in the United States. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to examine the lived experience of getting divorced in mid to later life. Data address the following research questions: 1) What are the divorcees’ expectations for the process of divorce and post-divorce life? 2) How do life phase factors and family relationships shape the divorce experience? Participants included 41 heterosexual men and women who legally divorced at the age of 55 or older and between 1-7 years from the time of the interview. Participants divorced from first and higher order marital unions. They included self-identified initiators, non-initiators, and co-initiators of the divorce. Results suggest that gray divorce is a complex experience marked by shifting feelings of ambivalence and certainty that are influenced by such factors as health and social networks, especially family.

Full textAbstract:
This article compares reasons for divorce among two groups of Arab women: regular divorcees, who divorced after living with their husbands, and contract divorcees, who divorced during the waiting period between the signing of the marriage contract and actual cohabitation. The regular divorcees reported more reasons for divorcing than the contract divorcees and were considerably more prone to cite their husband’s physical, sexual, and verbal abuse; lack of commitment to the marriage and family; and alcoholism and mental illness, as well as interference by their in-laws. The contract divorcees were more prone to cite failure to get along, lack of communication, and conflicts over traditional and/or modern lifestyle. These patterns suggest that the regular divorcees divorced for more concrete reasons and only after their marriage had become unbearable, whereas the contract divorcees ended their unions when they realized they would not find compatibiity, communication, and a shared lifestyle.

Full textAbstract:
he paper explores the stress level and the coping resources utilized by divorced women in the Maldives. While the study is designed as a quantitative investigation, the general objectives are not to generalize findings but to gain an understanding of divorce demographic and coping strategies of women after divorce. The Taylor’s manifest anxiety scale was used to assess stress, and a second questionnaire assesses divorcees’ current situation and their coping strategies. Both the questionnaires were self-administered by 60 participants identified through snowball sampling strategy. The findings show that divorced women exhibit notable psychological stress, with 46.7% of the participants having high stress, 51.7% having low stress and only 1.7% exhibiting no stress. While other unknown stressors in their life cannot be ruled out, the findings suggest that better socioeconomic, cognitive and emotional resources such as education, employment, adequate finance including child maintenance from the father of the child, emotional support from immediate family as well as friends have a positive impact on reducing stress. Contrarily, the findings also show lack of employment, rental expenses, dependency on an external party for child maintenance support, the uncertainties of a new romantic relationship, and the experience from a painful divorce process can have a negative impact on psychological wellbeing. Furthermore, in adjusting to life after divorce, most of the participants seek financial independence through upskilling and employment, while some divorced women seek remarriage for financial and emotional security.

Full textAbstract:
The divorce–stress–adjustment theoretical framework emphasizes not only the negative consequences associated with marital dissolution but also the positive outcomes that can eventually emerge after former spouses part ways. This study aims to examine the subjective life assessments of the heterosexual gray divorced population within the first 3 years of their marital splits with respect to this framework. Qualitative data based on 66 in-depth interviews of the gray divorced population were collected and analyzed using grounded theory methods. Negative consequences of gray divorce included financial worries and loneliness. However, participants also identified positive aspects of their new lives, including higher levels of overall happiness, liberation from their ex-spouses, and enhanced independence and freedom. These results show that immediately after their marriages dissolve, members of the gray divorced population experience complex reactions in accordance with the divorce-stress-adjustment framework. More specifically, these men and women see both challenges and opportunities after their gray divorces.

The article presents the results of an empirical study on changes in the system of a woman's relations after a divorce, which can be manifested both in a woman's self-attitude and in her attitude towards a man; divorced women, compared to married women, have a higher percentage of non-optimal self-attitude and negative attitude towards men, divorced women with and without a child after a divorce have got differences not only in the percentage of non-optimal self-attitude and negative attitude towards men, but also in the connection between them. We have conducted our research and received the following results. Divorced women, as compared to married women, have a higher percentage of suboptimal self-attitude and negative attitude towards men. The assumption that divorced women with a child after a divorce have got a higher percentage of non-optimal self-attitude and negative attitude towards a man than women without a child after a divorce was not confirmed, while the assumption of a less close connection of self-attitude and attitude towards a man was confirmed. For the first time, an empirical study was conducted that allows us to study not only the features of self-attitude and attitude to a man in women after divorce, but also the relationship between them. The results obtained in the study can be used by psychologists working with women who are divorced. The development of an optimal self-attitude in such women will not only increase adaptive capabilities, but also contribute to a change in attitude towards a man, which ultimately can be a positive factor in creating a new family.

The purpose of this study is to determine the divorce causes of divorced women and the problems they experience during and after the divorce period and their coping methods with these problems. Twenty-eight divorced women participated in the study. The universe of the study consists of divorced women living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). In this study, criteria-based sampling, which is a purposive sampling method, was used in the determination of the study group. This research was conducted with qualitative data collection technique, and a semi-structured interview form which was developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. The interview form which was developed as a data collection tool was given its final version based on expert opinions. The collected data were analysed by means of content analysis. As a result of the analysis of the data, the most important causes for divorce mentioned by women appeared as differences of opinion, lack of interest and financial irresponsibility, whereas the least mentioned causes are age differences and jealousy. The leading problems experienced during the divorce process are psychological breakdown, external interventions and sharing of the property, whereas the least emphasised problems are the failure of the family to give support and failure to divorce due to living in different countries. The most important problems after divorce were listed as the negative viewpoint of the society towards a divorced woman, financial problems and psychological breakdown, whereas the least experienced problems are future anxiety and loneliness. The leading coping with problems method appeared as a social support from family and friends, and the least mentioned method was gaining financial strength. In terms of improvement of responsibility and value perceptions, it is recommended that studies are conducted in the fields of guidance and psychological counselling services and family counselling.

Widows encounter plenty of negative socio-economic consequences due to the increasing divorce among Sri Lankan Muslims. Especially divorce is prevalent among Muslims in the study area, and it is common for women to face various socio-economic and psychological challenges after divorce. As an alternative to these issues encountered, Islam has introduced and encouraged remarriage. In that respect, the study aims to assess the concept of remarriage of Muslim women who have divorced and identify the factors that hinder remarriage. Primary and secondary data collection methods were used in this study. In the first stage of data collection, the report of the divisional Quazi Court was obtained and the details of the divorced women were obtained through the documentary analysis. As the second step of data collection, a closed questionnaire was distributed among the divorced women and an unstructured interview was conducted with them. Interviews and telephone conversations were conducted with those 152 divorced women who were selected on the basis of convenient sampling methods and as well as by newly elected clergy, intellectuals, school administrators, and parents of divorced women. Moreover, other publications such as research articles, texts, journals, and web articles were read. It appears that there is a low number of remarriages in practice in the research area Beruwala and the women in the study area are found to be uninvolved in remarriage. In this case, it was detected that, the influence of the research sample's psychological, social and familial factors. In this regard, awareness needs to be raised as remarriage is an excellent solution to the various economic and social challenges faced by divorced women.

Separate studies of divorced and widowed women show increased odds of becoming poor following the termination of marriage. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal data suggest that the end of marriage is correlated with higher poverty rates. Less is known, however, about factors that influence economic well-being over time, and whether these factors are similar for widows and divorced women. This analysis uses data from the National Longitudinal Surveys cohort of mature women (1967-1982) to examine the probability of becoming poor after widowhood or divorce among mid-life women, and factors that seem to influence economic well-being. Findings show that 40% of widows and over one-quarter of divorced women fall into poverty for at least some time during the first five years after leaving marriage. The type of marital transition experienced by the woman is not a significant factor in economic well-being, but both age and prior economic standing have positive estimated effects.

According to the National Statistical Office’s 2020 Marriage and Divorce Statistics (2021.3.18), the average marriage period for multicultural divorced families in 2020 is 8.7 years. the average marriage period of Korean divorced families is 17.4 years. In addition, the divorce rate of multicultural families in 2021 is 6.2%, with 4.3% of wives being foreigners and 1.9% of husbands being foreigners. In this study, to explore the reasons for divorce of multicultural divorced families when their wives are foreigners, the factors of conflict and the process of overcoming them were examined in The Re- Territorial Process of three women who divorced after migrant marriage. The research participant A tried to connect to Korea, but was frustrated by her husband’s attitude of treating her as a ‘money- buying person’, and divorced, and worked to recognize herself. The research participant B showed active reactions such as marrying her husband who worked together at the factory despite the dissuade of her mother, but she divorced her husband who changed violently. The research participant C endured husband’s violent for the child, but rather was divorced by the husband. Marriage migration is a move to a completely different territory, so Re-Territorialization is inevitable, and awareness of this Re- Territorial Process is necessary for both Korean residents and migrant women coming to Korea.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTRecent research has shown that divorce reduces the likelihood of home-ownership. Even in later life, ever-divorced men and women display lower home-ownership rates than their married counterparts. There is, however, a lack of knowledge about the consequences of divorce for a majority of divorcees: those who remain in home-ownership or move back into home-ownership after an episode in rental housing. This paper investigates the economic costs of divorce by focusing on the housing wealth of ever-divorced home-owners in later life (age 50 and over), against the background of changing welfare and housing regimes. The empirical analysis is based on data from ten European countries that participated in the third and fourth waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE 2007/8 and 2011/2). Our analyses support an association between divorce experience and lower housing wealth holdings for men and women who remain in home-ownership after a divorce, or re-enter home-ownership after a spell in rental housing. This means that a divorce has negative housing consequences for a broader range of individuals than thus far assumed. In countries with a dynamic housing market and a deregulated housing finance system, ever-divorced home-owners are worse off than their married counterparts. In these countries, more elderly individuals with a weaker financial situation are able to remain in or regain access to (mortgaged) home-ownership, but at the cost of lower housing equity. Further research should focus on the implications (e.g. for wellbeing, economic position) of such cross-country variations.

Abstract Objectives Loneliness in later life is associated with poorer health and higher risk of mortality. Our study assesses whether gray divorced adults report higher levels of loneliness than the widowed and whether social support or repartnership offset loneliness. Method Using data from the 2010 and 2012 Health and Retirement Study, we estimated ordinary least squares regression models for women (n = 2,362) and men (n = 1,127) to examine differences in loneliness by dissolution pathway (i.e., divorce versus widowhood), accounting for social support and repartnership. Results Divorced men were lonelier than their widowed counterparts. Although social support reduced loneliness among men, the difference between the divorced and widowed persisted. Repartnership assuaged men’s loneliness and reduced the variation between divorced and widowed men. Among women, the results did not reveal differences in loneliness for the divorced and widowed although social support and repartnership linked to less loneliness. Discussion Later-life marital dissolutions increasingly occur through divorce rather than spousal death. Some older adults go on to form new partnerships. Our findings demonstrate the importance of gerontological research widening the lens beyond widowhood to consider the ramifications of later-life divorce and repartnership for well-being.

Javanese marriage firmly places the role of women as the husband's konco wingking responsible for marital harmony, so if there is a conflict or divorce, the woman or wife becomes a party who is seen as negative because they are considered unable to serve their husbands. The divorce rate among Javanese women always increases and is two times higher than that of men (talak). The purpose of this study is to explain the process of making divorce decisions for Javanese women. This study uses an interpretive phenomenological qualitative method with in-depth interview data collection techniques. The technical analysis used is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The study was conducted on three Javanese women divorced from their husbands. The criteria for the participants are Javanese women who have filed for divorce and have been divorced a maximum of six months before the interview, have children and are employed. The research locations are Kediri and Madiun. The location in the area is chosen because it has a strong Javanese culture. The results showed that the divorce decision-making process for Javanese women was complicated because of the stigma of being a widow. The decision-making process for divorce in Javanese women is influenced by eight factors: children, physical and emotional impacts, friendships and good memories, commitment to marriage, finances, support from friends and family, religiosity and Javanese expectations and ethics.

Purpose This study aims to review the psychosocial determinants of divorce and their effects on women for a social reform in Pakistan. Enigmatic societal standards vandalize social status of divorced women and stress them to experience psychological trauma that triggers psychosocial disorders. Design/methodology/approach The study is categorized into three major determinants: the human emotional, the formal legal and societal aspect(s) in association with the deferential social status of divorced women. Rapid evidence assessment methodology was used to search the all-inclusive literature, collate the available descriptive evidences, critically analyze and evaluate it, sieve out studies of penurious quality and provide an aperçu of the evidence. Findings The research evinces domestic violence and abuse as an endemic cause of divorce in Pakistan; emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse damage women’s self-worth and well-being. Literature reported that all these determinants impacted the mental health stability of the divorced women. Divorce rates are climbing at a faster pace in the country and Punjab has been identified as a province of rocketing divorce rate. Lamentably, in various villages of other provinces, women risk face mutilation if they show courage to seek divorce. Practical implications More research needs to be carried out on the issue nationwide. Fundamentally, cultural norms around women’s roles in society need to be addressed and challenged where this research may become an impetus for further research. Originality/value The paper contributes towards the redressal of the domestic abuse, social exclusion, marginalization and vilification of divorced women in Pakistan. The rising rates indicate an urgent need for social reforms to curtail offending behaviors toward them, to safeguard their mental health and well-being and to empower them with their legal rights to enjoy deferential social status in life.

Identifying the role orientation of recently divorced women holds promise for further understanding the divorce process and the family life cycle of nonnuclear families. The authors describe how 30 female heads of family perceived their adaptation to divorce and to the reconstruction and development of their family units. Results of this exploratory study further suggest that the meaning and value a divorced woman attaches to the mothering component of her role as well as the comfort she feels in accepting a work identity affect the ways in which she adapts to being a single parent. The consequences of this adaptation, in turn, alter the content of the family life cycle.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the economic well-being of women who become divorced or separated in mid- or later life, using 1994 data from Statistics Canada's Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics. Economic well-being is measured by adjusted economic family total money income, before-tax low-income cut-offs, and ownership of dwelling. Women and men aged 65 and over still in their first marriages are compared with women and men, aged 65 and over, who were divorced or separated at age 45 or older. Results show that women who become divorced or separated in mid- or later life are more likely to have low income than married persons and men who become divorced or separated in mid- or later life. Persons who divorce or separate in mid- or later life are less likely than married persons to live in a dwelling that is owned by a member of the household. Regression analyses show that receiving pension income and receiving earnings are positively associated with income for women who become divorced or separated in mid- or later life. Implications for the Canadian legal and retirement income systems are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
‘Iddah or waiting period is a specific period stipulated for a woman who was divorced or after the death of her husband. It is an aspect that needs to be observed after a divorce occurs, other than maintenance and custody. In reality, many women who are observing the waiting period are involved in a career and social activities which leaves certain implications and creates challenges as to the actual process of waiting period as stipulated by Islam. Hence, this conceptual paper aims to review the sharī‘ah rulings on some common activities that these women who are separated by revocable divorce were involved in, such as in the aspects of career, appearance and celebratory occasions. Qualitative methodology was adopted by collecting and analyzing Muslim jurists' opinions on social activities that the women who are observing waiting period of revocable divorce are involved in. This study found that the opinions of Muslim jurists and their discourse on legal sources on the basis of legal objectives (Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah) can determine the status of involvement in social activities among women who were revocably divorced and observing the waiting period.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractProtecting women and children is one of the core values of the Islamic legal tradition. In Muslim countries religious, constitutional, and legal frameworks obligate the state to take special measures to provide protection to women and children within families and in society. However, despite such provisions, post-divorce maintenance rights are not granted to women in Pakistan and Iran. Family law enacted in Pakistan and Iran still differs in form and substance from what has been mentioned in the primary sources of Islamic law and from the previous articulations of early Islamic law scholars. Moreover, patriarchal notions of male authority are still sustained through law and judicial interpretations when it comes to the question of giving post-divorce maintenance to women. As a result in the absence of a welfare system divorced women are left in a vulnerable situation. Although in Iran, some financial compensation under the concept of Ujrat ul Misl (compensation for household chores) is given to divorced women, but it remains unclear whether the right to Mata’at-ul-Talaq (post-divorce maintenance) has been recognised under the family law. In Pakistan the law does not include any provision for giving women Ujrat ul Misl and Mata’at- ul -Talaq. Moreover in the absence of a welfare system, divorced Muslim women in both countries are left in a vulnerable situation. This article engages with plural normative sources and contemporary notions of human rights to make the case for family law reform and for awarding post-divorce maintenance rights to Muslim women in Pakistan and Iran.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the question of the status of Sharia courts in the United Kingdom, acting as a religious arbitration. In total, 85 Sharia courts (councils) with jurisdiction to handle family conflicts and divorces (divorces account for approximately 90%) are currently officially functioning in this country. These courts (councils) are not part of the British legal system and are not subject to judicial review. Some Sharia councils, contrary to English law, discriminate on the basis of sex. The lack of real protection on the part of state structures puts women who are victims of domestic violence at particular disadvantage. Unlike women of other confessions in the UK, a significant part of Muslim women who are in a religious marriage can be divorced only by religious ceremony. Concluding a Sharia marriage in the UK, a Muslim woman receives an Islamic marriage certificate that includes many conditions, but does not contain an item on the right to divorce. Unlike Britain in Muslim countries, such as, for example, Tunisia, Sharia courts for divorce are no longer used, and spouses have equal rights in divorce. The absence of legal provisions of the rights of women participating in the proceedings by agreement of the parties, and numerous instances of discrimination have led to investigations at the level of the British government and the parliament. It was concluded that in the country formed a parallel legal system that violates human rights.

Muslim wife has a legal right of maintenance which devolves upon her husband. This rights exclusively created by the marriage and wife is entitled to maintenance during the subsistence of the marriage and after divorce for iddat period under the Islamic Shariah and Muslim personal law in Bangladesh. Usually, the Muslim women enforces the claim for her maintenance while obtaining divorce. Divorce brings distress in her life and it also creates jeopardized situation in the society. In doing so, the controversy arises regarding the post-divorce maintenance beyond iddat period of Muslim women under Islamic Shariah. Though the judiciary of many countries are trying to reform on the post-divorce maintenance but judicial activism of the country have not much advancement in this issue. Hence, the divorced Muslim women are not entitled post-divorce maintenance beyond iddat period in the country. In addition, often women are not get access to family justice rather they suffered adversely for difficulties of legal procedure, male oriented society and non implementation of Islamic values. Therefore, majority divorced woman face many challenges of social justice and not being protected in the present legal system. The study focuses how and to what extent Muslim wife's are being protected through maintenance under the Islamic Shariah as well as the Muslim personal law in Bangladesh.

Abstract Background: Psychological distress is an important immediate outcome of the death of a spouse or divorce, which may arise because of financial and emotional challenges and can lead to adverse health outcomes with more stress, anxiety, depression, and social isolation than the general population. Methods: Cross-sectional study among separated, divorced, and widowed females from two rural villages. All eligible participants were screened for depression and anxiety using DSM 5 criteria. The severity of depression was assessed using the Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) and for anxiety, the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAM-A) was used. Results: Out of 162 women, 30% had mild depression whereas 42% of widow and divorced women had moderate levels of depression but it is in 50% of separated women. Severe and very severe level of depression was in around 20% of widowed and divorced women compared to 16% of separated women. There was no anxiety in around 80% of divorced and widowed women whereas 24.3% of separated women had severe anxiety. On regression analysis, separated women, dependent women, and those with less than two years of duration of separation had higher levels of depression and anxiety. Conclusion: The prevalence of Depression and Anxiety is more common in all three groups. Moderate to severe Depression is around 75% among divorced/separated and widowed females but moderate to severe anxiety was more in separated women compared to widowed women. Dependency and the early phase of widowhood/separation were also important associated factors.

Furthermore, majority of them were suffered from physical, mental health as well as behavioural problem. Litigation, children adjustment, suicide attempt and death danger were the other challenges faced to those women after divorce. Divorce practice without any solid reason is a crime against females. The study recommends that, the Government may gave proper attention on early marriages practice, protection to woman after divorce from either Government and family side, proper documentation/registration for marriages, income source for woman and for their children, free health facilities, and employment opportunities for such women.

Objective: Divorce can have multiple psychological consequences for divorced women. The present research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on psychological distress in divorced women. Methods and Materials: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with a control group and random assignment. The sample consisted of 30 divorced women from welfare counseling centers in areas 1 and 2 of Tehran, who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (15 individuals) and control (15 individuals). The experimental group participated in 12 sessions of Heimberg and Becker's (2002) cognitive-behavioral therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The Distress Tolerance Questionnaire by Simons and Gaher (2005) was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics followed by multivariate covariance analysis and univariate covariance analysis and SPSS software version 22 were used for data analysis. Findings: The results indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly increased psychological distress tolerance (F = 43.63, p < 0.01) in divorced women. Conclusion: Therefore, cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective in increasing psychological distress tolerance among divorced women and is also beneficial in enhancing their mental health and aiding in the improvement of their living conditions.

Abstract Given the rapid growth of older Americans and the increased incidence of divorce among this population, it is paramount to identify negative health outcomes following marital transition and investigate the potential protective role of social support. Our study aims to identify relationships between change in depression and marital transitions, test whether social support moderates this association, and to examine variation by gender. The sample included 3,705 participants from the Health and Retirement Study, who reported being married or partnered in 2012. Changes in marital status were measured between 2012 and 2014 (remained married/partnered (reference), divorced/separated, and widowed). Depression was measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression short form (CESD-8). Three types of social support from family, friends, and children were assessed: social support, social strain, and social contact. Autoregressive multiple regression was used to examine the relationship between change in depression, marital transitions, social support, and gender. Widowhood and social strain were independently associated with an increase in CESD-8 scores between 2012 and 2014. Significant interactions between social support and social strain, and separation/divorce were identified, and the relationship between social support, depression, and divorce varied by gender. Change in depression was positively associated with social support for separated/divorced females, but not separated/divorced males. These results indicate that social support may modify the influence of divorce on changes in depression among recently divorced older females. These findings can help mental health service providers more effectively target older adults at the greatest risk of depression after experiencing a marital transition.

In dit artikel wordt gekeken naar de mate waarin partners een invloed hebben op het vrouwelijke arbeidsaanbod. Vanuit de economische principes van specialisatie en economische behoefte verwachten we dat het arbeidsaanbod van vrouwen negatief beïnvloed wordt door de arbeidstroeven van hun partner. Deze verwachtingen worden in het huidige artikel in een echtscheidingscontext geplaatst. We bekijken de samenhang tussen de arbeidstroeven van de mannelijke partner en het vrouwelijke arbeidsaanbod, en maken hierbij een onderscheid naar ooit‐ en nooit‐gescheiden vrouwen. Er wordt immers verwacht dat het meemaken van een scheiding zorgt voor een onafhankelijkheidseffect, waarbij de arbeidstroeven van de partner minder van belang zullen zijn in het arbeidsbeslissingsproces. Met de data van Scheiding in Vlaanderen (SiV) kunnen we enkel associaties tussen beide partners vaststellen. Deze associaties kunnen mogelijk ook voortspruiten uit een verschillend partnerselectieproces voor ooit‐ en nooit‐gescheidenen. We vinden dat vrouwen met een partner met een hoger inkomen minder vaak werken. Dit geldt zowel voor ooit‐ als nooit‐gescheiden vrouwen. Vrouwen waarvan de partner een hoger opleidingsniveau of een hoger arbeidsaanbod heeft, blijken zelf ook vaker te werken indien het gaat om een eerste huwelijk (nooit‐gescheiden), maar minder vaak indien het gaat om een nieuwe relatie (ooit‐gescheiden). Partners in nieuwsamengestelde gezinnen zijn dus heterogener op vlak van hun arbeidsaanbod en ‐troeven.
Abstract :
This article is about the influence of partners on women’s labour supply. Based on economic principles, we expect women’s labour supply to be negatively influenced by their partner’s labour market resources. In the current article, this association is analysed in a divorce context. We expect the labour supply of never‐divorced women to be more negatively affected by the labour market resources of their partners than the labour supply of repartnered women who experienced a divorce. Put differently, we expect the labour supply of ever‐divorced women to be less dependent upon their partner’s labour market resources. We determine some associations with data from Divorce in Flanders (DiF). Next to differences in partner effects, these associations can also be attributed to differences in the partner selection process between never‐divorced and ever‐divorced women. We find that women with a high‐income partner tend to work less often, regardless of having experienced a divorce. If their partner works more or has a higher educational level, never‐divorced women tend to work more often themselves. Ever‐divorced women, on the other hand, tend to work less often if their new partner works more or is higher educated.

In this study, in which the effect and consequences of gender roles and patriarchy on women's marriage and divorce experiences were tried to be understood, face-to-face interviews were conducted with twelve divorced women and a semi-structured interview from specially created for the study was used in the interviews. In line with masculine ideology and gender roles; It is possible to say that it is perceived and evaluated within the framework of private space, motherhood, body and honor. Accordingly, it is seen that women’s life is tried to be organized and disciplined on the basis of these ideological foundations in all processes before marriage, after marriage and after divorce. It is inevitable that women, who are not given equal opportunities and opportunities in access to education and working life as much as men, face much more severe situations in marriage and divorce processes. Depending on gender, it is understood that divorce creates different problems and grievances for women than man. In this study, the problems experienced by the divorced women before, during and after the divorce were evaluated only through the data of the interviews with the women included in the interview group and tried to be interpreted from a sociological point of view.

Full textAbstract:
A handful of studies conducted in the 1980s and 1990s find that undergraduate students perceive unmarried people less favorably than married people. The present research describes two experimental studies that revisit and extend this work by examining the extent to which perceptions of singles depend on marital history, gender, and race, both of which employ a more diverse sample of Americans via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Black Americans are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, and less likely to remarry than their White counterparts; Black women are less likely to marry than Black men; and Black women contend with nuanced stereotypes that portray them as strong, independent, and self-sufficient. These differences suggest race may shape beliefs about singles, and that racialized differences may be gendered. In Study 1, respondents rated a married or never married man or woman across a range of characteristics. In Study 2, respondents rated a White man, White woman, Black man, or Black woman who was either married, never married, or divorced. Across both studies, regression models indicate singles were evaluated more negatively than married people. Moreover, divorced Black women were perceived more positively on several measures compared to divorced members of other groups. For the most part, however, the magnitude of the singlism effect did not vary by marital history (never married or divorced), gender, or race. We note that null findings regarding gender and race are often relegated to the file drawer, but that this practice distorts the results of systematic reviews and perpetuates the misconception that groups of people (e.g., men and women, Blacks and Whites) are vastly different from one another, a belief that undergirds and justifies inequality.

The article explores how change in lifestyles has impacted the family relations leading to divorce worldwide more in industrial countries, and to a smaller extent in developing countries. Sociologically speaking, the main cause of such increase in divorce event is social change emerging due to modernization and industrialization, more education for them, change in women's consumption behavior etc. All such trends are affecting the family adjustability and the mutual respect and tolerance, leading to challenges and conflicts toward divorces. Divorce, though not being a huge problem in the Western world, it is problem-creating in the developing countries. Being a stigma in many such countries, the divorced women face lots of social and economic issues. Many of such women cannot easily remarry, and eventually deviate from the right and regular way of life. The children of divorce also lose a lot of advantages such as socialization, family/parents' affections etc. The method of research used in the present article is of qualitative type. In conclusion, it is proved that in societies with minimum divorce, more family and social health could be maintained.

This paper deals with the hermeneutical reading of divorce (Ṭalāq), one of the sensitive issues in Islamic family law. It is concluded that the existence of Islamic law of divorce is not to denigrate women; however, it is to give respons to the injustice suffered by women by giving regulations that are more friendly to women. The regulations of the Quran on the subject of divorce are designed to restrict the practice which had prevailed among the Arabs that they are free to divorce his wife at any time without any reason, and remarry her in unlimited ways. This is indicated that Islam stipulates that divorce is two times: then one may retain with goodness (and reasonable terms), or let go with goodness and reasonable terms. If divorce occurs, a divorced woman should the prescribed period (‘iddah) and financial consideration (mut‘at al-Ṭalāq).

Relevance. The relevance of the study lies in the special interest in changing the gender role of a woman in running her own household and is also explained by the fact that over the past few years the number of divorce proceedings has increased. The article identifies not only the main socio-economic consequences, but also analyses the new position of women in Kazakh society in its dynamic historical development, analyses the features and differences of these consequences for men and women in Kazakhstan in various types of the region: in the city and in rural areas. Purpose. The purpose of the article, therefore, is to study the impact of divorce on the households of women in Kazakhstan in social and economic terms. Methodology. To achieve the goal, statistical data analysis methods were used to identify the main trends in divorce proceedings and their consequences. To identify the features of changes in the socio-economic status of women, the method of pair comparison was used. Results. As a result, it was possible to come to conclusions that in previous years the impact of divorces on the status of women was much more serious, nevertheless, the support of the state, as well as more persistent trends towards gender emancipation in modern Kazakh society help women feel more confident after divorces. Conclusions. The current stage is characterised by a tendency towards retraditionalisation of Kazakhstani society, despite the fact that the rhetoric of traditional models of women's role is used to build a new Kazakhstani ideology. However, compared to the consequences for men, women's issues remain more serious, with longer-term consequences. Due to the proven increase in divorce proceedings during the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, further research may be aimed at studying the consequences of this event on women's households.

El principal objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las asociaciones entre el divorcio parental y el conflicto interparental con la calidad de las relaciones paterno-filiales y materno-filiales, en una muestra española de 1078 adultos jóvenes. También se analizó la función moderadora del género de estos adultos jóvenes. Nuestros resultados sugirieron que el conflicto interparental se asocia con relaciones paterno-filiales y materno-filiales de menor calidad, mientras que el divorcio parental se asocia de forma más negativa con la calidad de la relación con el padre que con la madre. Además, el género de los hijos adultos únicamente moderó la asociación entre el divorcio parental y la calidad de las relaciones paterno-filiales, de manera que las mujeres de familias divorciadas obtienen puntuaciones más bajas en la calidad de la relación paterno-filial que las mujeres de familias no divorciadas. Los resultados aportan mayor información a la literatura empírica existente y promueven una mejor comprensión de las asociaciones complejas existentes entre el divorcio y conflicto parental con la calidad de las relaciones parento-filiales, en un contexto cultural donde hay escasa investigación sobre el tema. The main aim of this study was to analyze the associations between parental divorce and interparental conflict with father-child and mother-child relationship quality, in a Spanish young adult sample. The moderating effect of adult child´s gender was also analyzed. Using a sample of 1,078 Spanish young adults, our results suggested that interparental conflict was more strongly associated with lower mother-child and father-child relationship quality, and that parental divorce was more strongly associated with father-child relationship quality than with mother-child relationship quality. In addition, adult child´s gender only moderated the effect of parental divorce on father-child relationship quality, such that women from divorced families score lower on father-child relationship quality than women from non-divorced families. Findings add to the existing literature and promote a better comprehension of the complex associations between parental divorce and conflict with parent-child relationship quality in an understudied cultural context.

Full textAbstract:
‘Iddah or waiting period is a specific period stipulated for a woman who was divorced or after the death of her husband. It is an aspect that needs to be observed after a divorce occurs, other than maintenance and custody. In reality, many women who are observing the waiting period are involved in a career and social activities which leaves certain implications and creates challenges as to the actual process of waiting period as stipulated by Islam. Hence, this conceptual paper aims to review the sharī‘ah rulings on some common activities that these women who are separated by revocable divorce were involved in, such as in the aspects of career, appearance and celebratory occasions. Qualitative methodology was adopted by collecting and analyzing Muslim jurists' opinions on social activities that the women who are observing waiting period of revocable divorce are involved in. This study found that the opinions of Muslim jurists and their discourse on legal sources on the basis of legal objectives (Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah) can determine the status of involvement in social activities among women who were revocably divorced and observing the waiting period. ‘Iddah or waiting period is a specific period stipulated for a woman who was divorced or after the death of her husband.

Iddah merupakan suatu tempoh tertentu yang ditetapkan bagi seorang wanita yang diceraikan atau selepas kematian suami. Ia merupakan salah satu aspek yang perlu dilalui selepas berlaku penceraian selain nafkah dan hadhanah. Realiti wanita beriddah pada masa kini banyak melibatkan diri dalam kerjaya dan aktiviti masyarakat yang memberi impak dan cabaran dalam proses pelaksanaan iddah yang sebenar mengikut Islam. Justeru, kertas kerja konsep ini bertujuan untuk melihat pandangan syariah terhadap beberapa aktiviti yang menjadi kebiasaan dalam kalangan wanita yang ditalak raji’e seperti dalam aspek kerjaya, penampilan dan aktiviti keraian. Metodologi kualitatif dijalankan dengan mengumpul dan menganalisis pandangan-pandangan fuqaha terhadap aktiviti sosial yang dilakukan oleh wanita yang berada dalam iddah talak raji’e. Kajian ini mendapati pandangan dan kupasan dalil oleh para fuqaha berdasarkan Maqasid Syariah dapat menentukan status perlaksanaan aktiviti sosial dalam kalangan wanita beriddah talak raji’e.

Background Globally, divorce is a common phenomenon in couples' marital life. As a result, many divorced couples and their children face several social, economic, and health problems after dissolution. There is little information on the magnitude and determinants of divorce in developing countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of divorce from the first union and its predictors among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. Methods We used the 2016 Ethiopia demographic and health survey data for this analysis. The survey was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted from January 18 to June 27, 2016. The survey employed a two-stage stratified cluster sampling technique. A total of 11,646 ever-married women were included in the analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistics regression was done to identify the determinants of divorce from the first marriage. A p-value < 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results About 25% (95%CI: 23.4% - 26.6%) ever-married women were divorced from their first marital relationship. Women who were married at age < 15 years (AOR = 1.34; 95%CI: 1.07–1.68), urban women (AOR = 1.69; 95%CI: 1.22–2.35), women who did not attend formal education (AOR = 4.36; 95%CI: 3.14–6.05), women who were employed (AOR = 1.51; 95%CI: 1.31–1.73), and being childless (AOR = 1.34; 95%CI: 1.07–1.69) had higher odds of experiencing a divorce. Similarly, women who experienced partner violence, women with no house ownership, and women in the Amhara region had higher odds of divorce from their first marital union. Conversely, women in Oromia, SNNPR, the metropolis, and the pastoral regions had lower odds of divorce from their first marital union. Conclusion Divorce from the first marriage is high in Ethiopia. Preventing early marriage and partner violence and promoting girls’ education would reduce the divorce rate in Ethiopia.

Objective: Dealing with stress is one of the transformative changes that divorce introduces in personal and family lives, leading to the disruption of mental health, cognitive conflicts, and identity crises among women. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a strength-based approach on distress tolerance and frustration tolerance in divorced women. Methods: The research was applied in nature and semi-experimental in design, featuring a pre-test and post-test with one experimental group and one control group, along with a two-month follow-up. Consequently, the study population consisted of all divorced women who visited counseling centers in District 6 of Tehran in 2022. From this population, 40 women were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (20 participants) and a control group (20 participants). The experimental group underwent a strength-based approach program based on a protocol developed by Darbani and Parsakia (2022). Data collection tools included the Harrington Frustration Tolerance Questionnaire (2005) and the Simons and Gahr Distress Tolerance Questionnaire (2005). Descriptive statistics utilized frequency distribution tables, and inferential analysis was conducted using mixed ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni post-hoc tests, employing SPSS software version 26. Findings: Considering the F-values and significance levels in the mixed ANOVA for frustration tolerance (F = 10.49, p = 0.002) and distress tolerance (F = 8.81, p = 0.003), it can be concluded that the intervention employed in this study, namely the strength-based approach as an independent variable, significantly altered the dependent variables (frustration tolerance and distress tolerance). Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the strength-based approach is effective in improving distress tolerance and frustration tolerance among divorced women. Therefore, techniques from this approach can be utilized in post-divorce counseling for divorced women.
