Abstract: (199 Views) |
Introduction: The emerging phenomenon of fake divorce is a form of consensual divorce, intended not to separate couples but to achieve other goals, such as obtaining economic and social benefits from being single or divorced. This practice has been increasing in recent years. This research aims to analyze the sociological and economic consequences of fake divorce and to explore the lived experiences of formally divorced women who are pensioners of the Social Security Organization, using a grounded theory approach.
Methods: The qualitative research was conducted in Mallard City in 2022. Fourteen divorced women who are pensioners from the Mallard Social Security branch were selected through purposeful and theoretical sampling until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, and NVivo 10 software was employed for data analysis.
Results: The research findings revealed one hundred seventy-three open categories, fifty-two central categories, and ten selective categories. These were organized into a paradigm model, where the central phenomenon identified was "the feeling of economic and family insecurity in women" who are formal pensioners of the Social Security Organization.
Conclusions: Fake divorce and the receipt of alimony have both economic and social implications for women, which can enhance their financial conditions. Additionally, the positive social aspect includes increased empowerment and decision-making capabilities for women. However, there are negative consequences as well, such as rising family conflicts, loss of job opportunities, and deprivation of legal rights as a spouse due to divorce. |
