Abstract:
Marriage is considered one of the most fundamental and, at the same time, most sensitive stages of human life. Based on their nature and existential essence, humans have always avoided individualism in response to their internal and external needs for dependency on others. As a cognitive phenomenon, attitudes have a significant impact on inclination, the probability of marriage, age and timing of marriage, and its stability. Given that no model has been presented so far to explain how attitudes toward temporary marriage are formed in the country, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining and presenting a preliminary model of this process. The method of this research is qualitative, and group focus interviews were used to collect data. To analyze the information and present the final theory, the grounded theory method was used. Based on the qualitative-purposive sampling method and the criterion of theoretical saturation, fifteen students from Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz participated in this study, and their attitudes toward temporary marriage were examined and analyzed; the findings obtained using the "grounded theory" method include four major categories: legal dimension, identity dimension, motivational dimension, and mistrust. The core category of this investigation is "students' attitude toward temporary marriage," which encompasses the other major categories. The resulting grounded theory is presented in the form of a paradigmatic model including five dimensions: causal conditions, intervening conditions, contextual conditions, strategies, and consequences.
