Abstract

The study aimed to identify the social compatibility of women in the light of silent divorce, by knowing the relationship of the period of girls raising under their family’s marriage attitude to the problem of silent divorce, and the relationship of the engagement period to the same problem. Also, to identify the nature of the relationship between the two parties of the marriage relationship of the case in the period of the first years of marriage and knowing the reasons leading to practicing the silent divorce, indicators of silent divorce, knowledge of the conflicts resulting from silent divorce, how the case is compatible with silent divorce, and justifications for accepting the continuation of silent divorce.
The study relied on the anthropological approach with its various tools. The interview guide was applied to one case study. The most important finding of the study was that the culture effect of the families raising girls resulted in such behavior. Social and cultural aspects creates barriers between the spouses, as it presents the personality of the girl as the one who should offer all types of respect and appreciation to her husband, and at the same time the culture of society develops a strong personality for the man, so that he is able to ask his wife for his full rights without giving the wife the right to question him about his negligence towards her.
