Geskeide vroue se ervarings en persepsies van hul aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfaseLe Roux, Memry S. (Memry Sharlene) 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M Social Work)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to gain understanding of the perceptions and experiences of
divorced women in the postdivorce phase, with specific reference to rural divorcees.
During intervention with divorced women the social worker ought to be informed
about the needs of divorcees, as well as be skilled to deal with the trauma of divorce.
It is therefore necessary to understand how women experience the post-divorce
process.
The Systems, Ecological, Strengths and Feminist Perspectives are used as a frame
of reference to understand the adaptation of divorced women. First, a study of
relevant literature is undertaken which presents a broad review of the process of
divorce; divorce as a mourning process, as well as the influence of divorce on the
women and children. Attention is also devoted to literature on the adaptation of
women in the post-divorce phase. Second a qualitative, phenomenological research
subject is chosen to explore the experiences and perceptions of divorced women’s
adaptation during the post divorce-phase. Factors which obstruct adaptation, as well
as factors which stimulate personal growth, came to light during the empirical
research.
Four themes unfolded from the research. The first theme relates to tension: tension
regarding finances; tension regarding health; tension arising from the overloading of
roles and tension resulting from the relationship with the ex-husband, as well as how
divorce is experienced int the rural areas. The second theme deals with spirituality:
divorce as a spiritual crisis; deepenig spirituality; spirituality in the shaping of identity
and facilitating to a large extent the mourning process. In the third theme various
sources of support are discussed, while the fourth theme focuses on the positive
side of divorce, namely personal growth.
The before mentioned themes contain the challenges divorced women experience
during the post-divorce phase. Recommendations focus on post-divorce intervention
which are aimded to relief stress, strengthen spirituality, to obtain knowledge of
supportsystems in the community, and also to stimulate the process of personal
growth. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel om geskeide vroue se persepsies en ervarings van hul
aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfase te verstaan, met spesifieke verwysing na die
plattelandse geskeide vrou. Tydens intervensie met geskeide vroue behoort die
maatskaplike werker vaardig en goed ingelig te wees ten opsigte van die behoeftes
wat geskeides ervaar, daarom is dit noodsaaklik om te verstaan hoe geskeide
vrouens die proses ervaar.
As praktykraamwerk is die Gesinsisteem-, Ekologiese, Sterkte- en Feministiese
Perspektief gebruik om die aanpassing van geskeide vroue te verstaan. Eerstens is
‘n literatuurstudie onderneem wat ‘n breë oorsig oor die proses van egskeiding,
egskeiding as rouproses asook die invloed van egskeiding op die vrou en kinders
bied. Aandag is ook gegee aan die aanpassing van die vrou in die postegskeidingsfase.
Tweedens is ‘n kwalitatiewe, fenomenologiese navorsingsontwerp
gekies om die ervarings en persepsies van vyf geskeide vroue uit verskillende
plattelandse dorpe se aanpassing in die post-egskeidingsfase te eksploreer. Faktore
wat die aanpassing strem, asook faktore wat persoonlike groei stimuleer, het uit die
empiriese navorsing na vore gekom.
Vier temas het uit hierdie navorsing ontspring. Die eerste tema hou verband met
spanning: Finansiële spanning, spanning oor gesondheid, spanning wat ontstaan uit
die oorbelading van rolle, spanning oor die verhouding met die gewese man, en die
plattelandse ervaring. Die tweede tema handel oor spiritualiteit: egskeiding is ‘n
spirituele krisis, dit bring spirituele verdieping, spiritualiteit help met identiteitsvorming
en fasiliteer in ‘n groot mate die rouproses. In die derde tema word verskeie
ondersteuningsbronne bespreek, terwyl die vierde tema ook die positiewe kant van
egskeiding uitlig, naamlik persoonlike groei.
Bogenoemde temas vervat die behoeftes wat geskeide vroue tydens die
aanpassingsperiode na egskeiding ervaar. Aanbevelings het gefokus op postegskeidingsintervensie
wat daarop gemik is om spanning te help verlig, spiritualiteit
te versterk, ondersteuningsnetwerke in die omgewing te ken en die proses van
persoonlike groei te stimuleer.

A search for life-giving marriage : the Imbusa initiation rite as a space for constructing wellbeing among married Bemba women of Zambia.Kaunda, Mutale Mulenga. 09 May 2013 (has links)
This empirical study analyses whether and how the Imbusa initiation rite is used to construct ‘subordinate femininities’ among married Bemba women of Zambia. Imbusa initiation rite is very significant for Bemba and Zambian women despite the many changes that have significantly altered their religio-cultural practices. It is something that makes every parent proud of their daughter because it is more or less a public declaration that they have raised their daughter with good morals as understood by Bemba people. This study has used two frameworks, first, African women theologies because African women theologies draw their sources from rites, rituals, songs, proverbs, riddles and so on. Secondly, I used status construction within social psychological theory because those with authority in groups define the outcomes and expectations of their group. For instance, banacimbusa among the Bemba people determine what should comprise the teachings in Imbusa and how an initiated woman has to behave in marriage. Utilizing mixed methods, the aim was to understand women’s views about ways in which the Imbusa rite contribute to the identity of Bemba and other Zambian women in marriage. I have proposed a framework for a life-giving marriage; first the need for banacimbusa who are gender sensitive in their teachings; second, African feminist Imbusa pedagogy, teachings that equip women for dialogue in marriage. And third, a holistic approach to sexuality in marriage. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2013.

Überbrückung der Kluft zwischen normativer Ethik und dem Grundprinzip der Gnade mit Bezugnahme auf Scheidung und Wiederheirat innerhalb der christlichen Kirchen und Gemeinschaften / Bridging the gap between normative ethics and the concept of grace with special reference to the question of divorce and remarriage within Christian churches and communitiesBinder-Wüstiner, Beatrice, 1958- 05 1900 (has links)
German text / Die vorliegende Arbeit schlägt eine Brücke über den Graben zwischen dem normativ-ethischen
Anspruch an die Lebenslänglichkeit einer Ehe und Gottes gnädigem Handeln gegenüber dem
scheiternden Menschen. Anhand des Umgangs der Kirchen und Glaubensgemeinschaften mit
Ehescheidung und Wiederheirat wird dieser Graben aufgezeigt. Es ergibt sich, dass die bestehende
Spannung jeweils durch die einseitige Betonung von Norm oder Gnade aufgelöst wird.
Die Grundlage für die Diskussion bilden das massgebende Eheverständnis sowie die Bestimmung
des Verhältnisses zwischen theologischer Ethik und dem Konzept der Gnade als Handlungsprinzip
Gottes. Darum werden in dieser Forschungsarbeit zuerst die theologiegeschichtlich
gewachsenen Eheverständnisse und die unterschiedlichen Normen- und Gnadenverständnisse
der römisch katholischen Kirche, der evangelischen Kirchen und der evangelikalen Gemeinschaften
in Bezug auf den Umgang mit Scheidung und Wiederheirat untersucht. Aufgrund
der herausgearbeiteten Übereinstimmungen und Unterschiede wird anschliessend anhand eines
von der Vergebung ausgehenden Denkansatzes der Graben zwischen normativer Ethik und dem
Konzept der Gnade überbrückt, die Spannung aber nicht aufgehoben. Daraus werden mögliche
Auswirkungen im Umgang mit Scheidung und Wiederheirat für die Kirchen und Gemeinschaften
abgeleitet. / The present thesis bridges the gap between the normative-ethical standard of lifelong marriage
on the one hand and God’s grace for men‘s failures on the other hand. Considering the practices
of churches and communities with regard to divorce and remarriage, this gap is demonstrated.
It is found that the associated tension is eliminated by an unilateral choice of either the
normative aspect or the principle of grace. The basis for the discussion is provided by the relevant
understanding of marriage and the determination of the relationship between theological
ethics and grace as the principle of God's action towards mankind. Therefore, this thesis investigates
the evolution of the theological understanding of marriage during history and the different
understandings of norms and grace in the Catholic Church, the Protestant Church and the
Evangelical Free Communities with regard to their handling of divorce and remarriage. Considering
the resulting similarities and differences, I propose – building on the fact of God’s forgiveness
– how to bridge the gap between normative ethics and the concept of grace without
eliminating the obvious tension. Finally, possible consequences for how to handle divorce and
remarriage by churches and communities are drawn. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Theological Ethics)

Renegotiating identity : re-authoring narratives post infidelity and divorceDay, Penelope Joy 30 November 2007 (has links)
This qualitatively oriented Practical Theology research journey, informed by postmodernism and social constructionism, was based on a narrative enquiry into the healing and renegotiation of identity of five "faithful spouses" post infidelity and divorce. These conversations occurred within a small group context, where narratives were spoken and witnessed (pastoral therapeutic gatherings), and were aimed at enabling the participants to remember and re-author preferred identities and new ways of being. This dissertation attempts to bring together the narratives of the participants, the literature, narrative therapy and pastoral care.
My research curiosity was prompted by my mother's experience of divorce, and by the myriad number of conversations I have had with both "infidels" and "faithful spouses" in my pastoral practice. This research journey examines the process of co-creating, along with my fellow travellers (research participants), a viable model of divorce recovery in the face of infidelity and divorce. / Practical Theology / M.Th.

Challenges of divorcees in the Reformed Churches of South Africa within the Vhembe District: towards Afro-sensed approach to pastoral care and counsellingMulovhedzi, Takalani Peter 05 1900 (has links)
PHD (African Studies) / Center for African Studies / The challenges facing divorcees when it comes to pastoral care and counselling are among the
toughest to face members of the Reformed Churches South Africa (RCSA) in the Vhembe District
today. There are many people in South Africa who are experiencing the pain of being divorced.
The RCSA in the Vhembe District are also faced with this challenge and it affects their doctrines
and their practical ministries. These challenges also affect the pastors of the RCSA.
The aim of this research is to investigate the challenges that divorcees face regarding pastoral care
and counselling in the RCSA in the Vhembe District, Limpopo, South Africa in order to develop
an approach to pastoral care and counselling to support divorcees so that they may learn to cope
with their challenges. Caring and counselling for the divorcees is the primary mission of the church.
The study utilised a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and contextual design to obtain data
from the participants within the RCSA in the Vhembe District. A sample of 30 participants
(divorcees) from the RCSA in the Vhembe District was used. Data were collected on an individual
basis by means of unstructured interviews. The qualitative data were collected and analysed using
the six steps of open coding proposed by Tesch in an effort to understand personal experiences of
divorcees.
The research used Graham Redding’s approach to establish trustworthiness. The study adhered to
four criteria to assess the value of the findings of qualitative research, namely credibility, applicability,
consistency, and conformability. The ethical considerations were taken into account.
The findings of this study show that divorcees experience many challenges, and that Reformed
pastors are not equipped and not doing enough to address those challenges. This research helps to
enhance the quality of pastoral care and counselling to the divorcees within the RCSA in the
Vhembe District. The findings and recommendations of the study are useful in guiding all
Reformed pastors in providing pastoral care and counselling to divorcees.
