Abstract

We examined the causes of divorce among Muslims in Kashmir (India) by applying motivating techniques. Parents were intervened tenderly to know their role for the divorce on their children and to reveal the influence of divorce on the social behavior of their divorced children. Islamic laws were revitalized desperately in order to know the ways of divorce. Families of divorced respondent were intervened as to know the blow of divorce on them and the impact of divorce on the society of the couples was also elucidated. The primary data for the study was collected from the district Baramulla of Jammu and Kashmir (India), the district is geographically over 4588 sqkms. An interview schedule of (n=300) divorced respondents comprising of 3–5 point scaling was selected for this proposed research. The data was collected with the help of an interview schedule accordingly.this study is based upon exploratory research design.Our findings revealed different views of divorced respondents which led to different causes of divorce among the Muslims in Kashmir. One of the reasons was the lack of education among respondents by which it was stiff enough for them to know the impact of divorce on their children, family and society. Sometimes the results depicted that misunderstanding between the couple was the reason for divorce. Extramarital affairs, dowry, early marriage, carelessness, improper economic management and bad luck of either spouse were also exposed to be the root cause of divorce. A few of the questions were concerning Eros related, as for the purpose of Physico and some Thanatos related results have been also collected over there. Divorce attitudes appear to be related to people's different assessment and opinion regarding their partner. Most often the children of either divorced spouse were affected which led their astray.
