Abstract

Divorce is an unforeseen circumstance that may occur to anybody and has occurred to some married people. Unfortunately, some women experience a reduced quality of life after being divorce due to issues with their finances, way of life, and even their social connections. On the other hand, some women may become more independent and successful after divorce. In this study, the researcher aimed to explore the futurity of woman being divorced. A purposive sample of 15 females was taken and in-depth interviews were done. Thematic analysis was used for collecting and analyzing the data. For selecting the study participants, a purposive sampling technique was used and the researcher conducts 15 in-depth interviews. The data was analyzed by using thematic approach. Three key themes were identified: Problems (individual problems, social problems, and familial problems), Consequences (adaptive and emotional consequences), and Coping strategies (practical coping, religious coping, support keeping and acceptance). The findings showed that women being divorced experienced problems after divorced, experienced consequences of divorce and to cope with them they are using coping strategies that shows the dimension of futurity in divorce women. This research will certainly help all those Government organization, Non-Governmental organizations and other authorities, who want to help the divorced women through legislation and other measures so that this segment of society may not be left at their mercy. Moreover, this study will also help the divorced women to adopt such measures and mechanism which makes her psychologically strong to move forward in future life.
