Abstract: (241 Views)
Background: Some couples who initially pursue a mutual divorce end up choosing to reconcile and sustain their marriage after completing the legal processes and required counseling. Despite encountering difficulties and negative situations, these couples opt to negotiate and strive to preserve their relationship instead of terminating it.
Aims: The purpose of the current research is to identify the causes of compromise and withdrawal of divorce in couples applying for consensual divorce.
Methods: The research method was qualitative and foundation data type. The statistical population of the study was 18 couples who had given up on divorce in the Years 1400-1401 during divorce counseling at the West Tehran Health Counseling Center. The research tool was a semi-structured interview.
Results: The analysis interviews with the method of Strauss and Corbin (1990), leading to the extraction of 127 secondary codes, 31 main concepts, 17 categories and the identification of the central category (accommodation with the existing conditions and continued cohabitation), causal conditions (financial and economic resources, responsibility towards children), re-opportunity, fear of loneliness and isolation, lack of support and lack of definite decision); background conditions (dependent personality, conflict with the original family, uncertainty in decision-making); Intervening conditions (cultural and social issues, limited opportunities and lack of individual independence).
Conclusion: Based on the findings; A set of factors are involved in the couple's decision to opt out of consensual divorce and compromise. But improving the quality of life and the stability of marital relations after canceling a divorce requires strategies that couples use to maintain their married life.
