The divorce, more precisely legal divorce, is the social phenomenon and an antithesis actually to marriage. Analyzing the causes of a divorce, it is necessary to address, first of all, problems in marriage. The successful analysis assumes the correct idea of the divorce nature and also of its place among other social phenomena.
About the divorce nature as social phenomenon
Society can influence marriage from different positions – economic, legal, ideological, etc. However influence on marriage will be expedient only if the general trends of development of family, the cause of the conflicts, value reference points of family members, etc. are known.
To a divorce quite often treat as a certain social evil. Such relation is proved, society is interested in stability of the family relations. Thanks to strong families, a number of problems – education of children, employment, a housing question, etc. is solved. Respectively, in general the relation of society to a divorce has to be negative.
At the same time the divorce can be necessary in some cases when the relations between spouses become sharply spiteful. In case of impossibility of a divorce the society should regulate safety and health of all family members that is not always possible. Besides marriage is made at personal desire of spouses, and their relations in the course of joint life can undergo changes to the worst. Society is interested in the quiet and equal relations in family as sincere and physical health of each person depends on them. And if marriage interferes with such health, its cancellation is quite logical. Nevertheless, strengthening of the family relations – one of main objectives of healthy society. The healthy family allows to raise children healthy in every sense that in turn favorably affects all social structures.
Causes of a divorce
There is a lot of reasons of divorce, and often they only confirm impossibility of further existence of people as family. One of the reasons is the impossibility to have children. In this sense social assessment of a divorce can hardly be negative, society is interested in the birth and education of healthy posterity. The sincere disease, long-term unknown absence, long imprisonment – these reasons cause understanding too. In any of such cases the divorce is justified as the family actually does not exist. Such reason of divorce as "did not get on together", is relevant too. Treatments it can have weight – since adultery and finishing with the changed interests because of what to spouses it became together uncomfortable. Why the family breaks up whether it is possible to keep marriage and whether there is a sense it to keep – it should be solved individually in each case. In other words, many of the causes of a divorce answer both to the interests of both spouses, and the interests of all society.
