Análisis de percepciones sobre el divorcio considerando el nivel individual, familiar y social; en el cantón Rumiñahui año 2023

Abstract

Divorce is a complex event that impacts the emotional, familial, and social well-being of individuals, representing a significant phenomenon with profound psychological implications. The decision to divorce can be mutual or contentious, emphasizing the importance of agreements regarding children and finances. Couple conflicts can lead to mental health issues, domestic violence, and can affect family and social dynamics (Sarrió, 2010). The relevance of this research lies in the need to go beyond mere divorce statistics to explore underlying causes, long-term consequences, and emerging perspectives. Through the collection of different social and institutional perspectives in Sangolquí, we aim not only to understand why couples decide to take separate paths but also to comprehend how these decisions reverberate over time, impacting individuals, families, and entire communities. Marriage, which begins as a source of satisfaction, often ends in frustration. Divorce does not guarantee the end of conflict, with significant implications for the lives of children. Children may experience intense emotions and challenges in adapting to family changes. Parental separation arises from family crises, sometimes associated with domestic violence. Divorce encompasses legal, social, economic, emotional, sexual, and parental aspects. The transition to a single-parent family involves changes in roles and responsibilities, necessitating research and support systems. "In 2022, there were 55,345 marriages and 24,595 divorces in Ecuador" (INEC, 2023)
