Abstract


The present paper investigates the quality and quantity of divorce events taking place all over the world more than any time before. The given action creates social, economic, educational, emotional and many more consequences for the families of various cultures, religions, social settings, moralities, and administrative infrastructures. While divorce is a stigma in one society, it is a regular norm in the other. So, attitudes toward divorce is quite different in the societies of the world. Divorce is being facilitated all over the world due to modernization and industrialization processes, and the outcome of social change. Sociologists must be quite vigilant to the phenomenon which is breaking families and creating social problems of all sorts. However, it is sociology that can judge and assess the demerits of divorce. Many of the apparent social issues emerging such as drug abuse, child labor, criminal behaviors and many more, are somehow or other associated with divorce. Method of research used in the present article is of qualitative type, and the article eventually concludes that the outcome of divorce is widely different in sociological terms affecting both parties of parents as well as children to a greater extent.

Key words: Divorce. Culture. Modernization. Stigma. Social issues
