Perceptions of divorcees towards factors leading to divorce in UAE

Abstract

According to official reports, the divorce rate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is very high. Such a high rate is attributed to many factors. This study investigates factors and causes leading to separation and divorce in Al Ain, UAE. The article uses a descriptive approach to analyze data collected from 114 participants, including 70 women and 44 men. Findings of the study indicated that family intervention is the main and most obvious factors causing divorces in the UAE, followed by the negligence of spouses. Surprisingly, age, educational level, and employment do not play a key role in divorce. Although the findings of the study cannot be generalized, this article highlights important implications for local authorities, educational institutions, and social activists in reducing the number of divorces in the UAE.
