Abstract:
In recent years, due to the increase in divorce statistics in the country, the regard to the consequences of this phenomenon have been extended to those who have experienced it. Therefore, the purpose of this study is a qualitative study of divorce consequences for divorced people. This study is a phenomenological qualitative study in which 20 participants (8 males and 12 females) were selected using purposive sampling. Deep and exploratory interviewing method was used to collect data, and this process continued to the saturation stage. The consequences of divorce include 12 sub-themes, which are classified in three main themes: 1. social and cultural consequences; 2. economic and financial consequences; 3. personal and emotional outcomes. The results of this study have many achievements in counseling centers and divorce professionals. Understanding the Divorce Experience As described in this study, it can help couples and experts involved in this phenomenon to make decisions and interventions based on culture and sexuality
Machine summary:
Gottman 1 (2013), a researcher of family and marriage, believes that divorce has many negative consequences such as an increasing risk of psychological harm, fatal car accidents, increasing prevalence of physical illness, suicide, violence, and murder for couples, and the risk of depression and suicide, isolation and low competence, health problems, and low academic performance for children.
For example, Kalantari, Roshanfekr, and Javaheri (1390a) through a systematic review of three decades of divorce research in the country, concluded that divorce has many psychological, social, and economic consequences that not only cause damage to the human and economic capital of society but also, in a gender-sensitive analysis, can prevent women from playing their roles and lead to their marginalization and exploitation.
This means they face more feelings of rejection, coldness, and blame from those close to them; ultimately, this study showed that the economic, social, psychological, and emotional consequences of divorce among divorced women residing in Iran in each of the three stages (before, during, and after) of divorce are more unfavorable than Iranian men (Seif, 1383).
" The men participating evaluated the social and cultural dimension of divorce negatively for themselves, but they did not experience the same intensity of these consequences as the women; for example, they did not evaluate the opportunity for remarriage as difficult for themselves as the women did.
The focus of future research should be on further investigating the difference between the experiences of men and women and the deep study of each of the consequences of divorce separately.
