Abstract

The current study established to figure out the divorce causes of women who are on the verge of divorce based on their life scenarios. The qualitative method, the case study, was used to explore the causes. Twenty-one subjects were drawn from the population, including all women on the verge of divorce in Isfahan City, via the saturation sampling method. Data were collected using the semi-structured interviews within three parts; (1) the demographic information; (2) the divorce causes; and (3) the lived scenarios. The three-way method (e.g., researchers, supervisors, and counselors) was applied to standardize properties of interviews. The data were analyzed by the manually coding, in which data were examined by the explicit and implicit contents. The findings of the study showed that in the reason of the separation of free-sex relations with the opposite gender, “don’t think” and “don’t belong to” scripts, in the violence of the spouse, “don't be important” and “satisfy” scripts, in the spouse’s neglect of desires, “don't be” and “satisfy” scripts, in the assignment of the wife and the husband’s position and the spouse’s irresponsibility, “don't be child” script, about the wrong thought to men, “don’t be close” script, and about the spouse’s remarriage “don't be important” script are involved. Thus it can be said that the life scripts impact on causes of the divorce, and these reasons are more likely to provide the direction and specific reasons for these women’s behaviors.
