Thesis (M.A. (Social work)) -- University of Limpopo, 2017. / The overall aim of this study is to explore factors that contribute towards divorce among young couples in the Lebowakgomo area of Limpopo Province. The objectives of this study were to identify factors contributing towards divorce among young couples in Lebowakgomo, and to establish whether the causes of divorce among young couples in Lebowakgomo are the same as those identified in the literature. The research used the qualitative method in the study and the exploratory research design to investigate the factors contributing to divorce among young couples at Lebowakgomo Township. The target group was divorced young adults up to the age of 35 years who had been married for the period of not more than ten years. The researcher used snowball sampling because he knew someone who met the criteria for inclusion in this study. The sample size was based on the principle of saturation which suggests that data collection stops when there is no new theme emerging. The researcher reached a point of saturation at participant six. The researcher used the semi-structured interview to collect data. This allowed the researcher to elicit information about the respondents’ thoughts, feelings and perceptions as open-ended questions were used. The researcher used Interpretative Phenomenological Data Analysis (IPA) which allowed the researcher to explore in detail how the participants made sense of their personal and social world. This study found that sudden character change, lack of and poor communication, financial problems, abuse and infidelity are associated with divorce among young couples. It also emerged in the study that mastering all the stages of family life cycle can reduce the chances of divorce among young couples. This can be achieved by ensuring that young couples receive pre-marital counselling before they enter into marriage. In addition, after entering into marriage young couples should attend marital enrichment programmes.

The Catholic understanding regarding marriage marked the Western culture, and even though it was extremely demanding, it was for many centuries the only one considered socially acceptable. With the advent of postmodern society, where effective bonds have become more fragile, the Catholic proposal of indissoluble marriage presents itself as an exception, in addition of being less understood and accepted. At the same time, cases of marital separation are multiplied, followed by new relationships. The impact of divorce is felt in a peculiar way by the Catholic Church because of its historically stricter stance in the understanding of marriage. Divorces and new relationships place the Catholic faithful in an irregular position within the institution with a consequent feeling of exclusion and marginalization. The problem has been faced by the Catholic Church with the development of a peculiar practice that seeks to analyze the validity of marriages celebrated by its faithful and the possible declaration of Nullity: those are the Canonical Marriage processes carried out in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The objective of this research was to verify how the Catholic Church has responded to the reality of the numerous marriages that failed and to address the main psychological and religious questions manifested by the individuals involved in the processes of declaration of Nullity of Marriage. The methodological approach used started from a descriptive research in the records of the cases of Marriage Annulment carried by the Interdiocesan Marriage Tribunal of Aparecida (TEIA) where I work as an expert psychologist. Thirty five cases were selected from the city of São José dos Campos – SP. It was chosen cases entered the Court in 2014, and marriage duration up to five years. We work with the hypothesis that those cases, by their own dynamics, also have a therapeutic character, because it inevitably puts the person in contact with his/her history. Those processes are therefore an excellent opportunity that can favor self-knowledge. We also verified the most frequent psychological causes of failure of marriages among the cases / O matrimônio entendido como ritual simbólico e necessidade psicológica existe há milhares de anos e acompanha o próprio desenvolvimento da humanidade. A compreensão Católica do matrimônio marcou a cultura ocidental e, mesmo sendo extremamente exigente, foi, por muitos séculos, a única considerada socialmente aceitável. Com advento da sociedade pós-moderna, onde os vínculos afetivos se tornaram mais frágeis, a proposta Católica de matrimônio indissolúvel se apresenta como uma exceção, além de ser cada vez menos compreendida e aceita. Paralelamente, multiplicam-se casos de separação conjugal, seguidos de novos relacionamentos. O impacto das separações conjugais é sentido de um modo peculiar pela Igreja Católica em razão de sua postura, em geral, historicamente mais rígida frente a compreensão do matrimônio. A separação conjugal e uma nova união coloca o fiel católico em uma situação institucional irregular, com consequente sensação de exclusão e marginalização. Frente a tal problemática, a Igreja Católica desenvolveu ao longo dos séculos uma prática peculiar que visa analisar a validade dos matrimônios celebrados por seus fiéis e a possível Declaração da Nulidade dos mesmos: são os processos Jurídicos Canônicos realizados nos Tribunais Eclesiásticos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar como a Igreja Católica tem respondido à realidade dos inúmeros matrimônios fracassados e abordar as principais questões de ordem psicológica e religiosas manifestadas pelos indivíduos envolvidos nos processos de Declaração de Nulidade Matrimonial. O enfoque metodológico utilizado para compor esse estudo partiu de pesquisa descritiva nos autos dos processos de Declaração de Nulidade Matrimonial TEIA, onde atuo como psicóloga perita. Foram selecionados trinta cinco processos oriundos da cidade de São José dos Campos – SP que ingressaram no Tribunal ano de 2014, cuja a duração dos casamentos foi até cinco anos. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que estes processos, pela dinâmica que lhe é própria, possuem também um caráter terapêutico, pois inevitavelmente coloca a pessoa em contato com sua história. Uma excelente oportunidade para tomar consciência de si, o que pode favorecer o autoconhecimento. Verificamos ainda quais são as causas psicológicas mais frequentes dos fracassos das uniões conjugais presentes nos respectivos processos

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar como um dos membros do casal recasado, há pelo menos dois anos, vivencia essa experiência. A complexidade e a diversidade presentes na estrutura das famílias recasadas, assim como o aumento constante dessa configuração familiar, indica que o modelo de família nuclear ao qual as famílias recasadas são comparadas não é um parâmetro adequado. A literatura consultada ressalta que as diferenças essenciais entre esses formatos de família devem ser consideradas pelos diversos profissionais que trabalham com as novas configurações familiares. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, fundamentada na revisão da literatura, na qual foram entrevistadas oito pessoas que residiam na cidade do Recife. O grupo de entrevistados foi constituído por cinco pessoas do sexo feminino e três do sexo masculino, todos recasados e com filhos de casamento anterior, quer sejam biológicos ou adotivos. A partir da fundamentação teórica e do discurso dos participantes, foram propostas sete categorias de análise. A avaliação do material obtido mostra que os entrevistados tratam o recasamento como uma união de caráter estável, onde partilham não apenas a residência, mas todas as atividades pertinentes a um casal, num casamento reconhecido por lei. Todos os participantes foram unânimes em afirmar que os quatro primeiros anos de convivência são bastante delicados, exigindo do casal maior flexibilidade, atenção e cuidado para que ocorra uma integração familiar. Observamos, também, uma certa dificuldade entre os membros dessa família quanto ao exercício de seus papéis / The present study had the purpose to investigate how one of the members of the remarried couple, for at least two years, leaves this experience. The complexity and diversity presents in the remarried family structure, as well as the constant increase of this familiar configuration, indicates that the model o a nuclear family to which the remarried families are compared it is not an adequate parameter. Consulted literature stands out that the essential differences between these formats of family must be considered by the diverse professionals who work with the new familiar configurations. A field research was made based on a literature review in which eight people who inhabited in the city of Recife. The group of interviewed was constituted by five people of the feminine sex and three of the masculine sex, all remarried and with children of previous marriage, either biological or adoptive. From the theoretical recital and of the speech of the participants, seven categories of analysis had been proposed. The evaluation of the gotten material sample that the interviewed ones deal with the remarriage as an union of steady character, where they share not only the residence, but all the pertinent activities to a couple, in a recognized marriage for law. All the participants had been unanimous in affirming that the four first years of contact are sufficiently delicate, demanding of the couple biggest flexibility, attention and care so that a familiar integration occurs. We observe, also, a certain difficulty between the members of this family how to the exercitate each ones function

L’objet de cette thèse est d’étudier « La confrontation de la dissolution du lien conjugal et ses effets entre les États maghrébins et les États européens francophones (France et Belgique) ». Les difficultés de coordination des systèmes islamiques et européens de droit international privé proviennent de l’écart entre leurs législations relatives au statut personnel et au droit de la famille. En droit musulman, les matières du statut personnel sont solidaires des donnés religieuses. Les ressortissants maghrébins établis dans des pays européens se retrouvent souvent confrontés au croisement du système juridique maghrébin et celui de leur pays d’accueil.<p>S’il est un domaine où se heurtent des visions difficilement conciliables entre l’Europe et certains pays musulmans, c’est bien celui du mariage mixte et particulièrement celui de la répudiation. Il faut souligner que le problème perdure depuis plus de vingt ans.<p>Toutefois un grand nombre de ressortissants Marocains réside en Belgique ce qui conduit inévitablement à ce que des problèmes liés à la dissolution de leur mariage se posent. A ces difficultés viennent s’ajouter les problèmes de conflits de lois. Cette étude a donc tenté de dégager les caractéristiques des différents systèmes étudiés et de montrer les divergences qu’ils comportent en terme de méthodes utilisées dans le règlement des conséquences du divorce ou de répudiation. <p>La présence d’une communauté immigrée de statut personnel musulman et la rencontre de l’ordre juridique européen avec ce phénomène, posent l’épineux problème de l’harmonisation de deux systèmes juridiques fondamentalement différents et a ainsi pu être qualifié de « conflit de civilisations ». Ce qui permet une vue globale du sujet.<p>Summary: The purpose of this thesis is to study the dissolution of a marriage tie between North African states and European French speaking states, and what this dissolution means in term of confrontation on both sides concerning the juridic systems european and islamic. The difficulties of coordination between the islamic way of life and the international law are the result of divergence relating with personal status and family right. In the islamic law, personal status and religious faith are closely interlinked. Moroccan nationals who step up house in an european country are confronted with the law of the Maghreb and the law of the country witch welcomes them.<p><p>Mixed marriages and in particularly in a case of repudiations are a sphere where european nations and some muslim nations don’t see things in the same way. One has to emphasize that these problems have been enduring for over tweenty years. A great numbers of Morocans lives in Belgium which leads to difficulties if their marriages have to be dissolved. Over these difficulties problems of laws conflicts are added. This study have tried to show the characteristics of these systems and the different way to solve the consequences of the divorce or of the repudiation. The presence of an immigrated community of personal muslim status and the encounter of the juridic european system with this phenomenon set the acute issue of the harmonization of two juridics systems deeply different. This can be described as a “conflict of civilisations”. This allows a broad view of the subject<p><p> / Doctorat en droit / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
