Divorce Realities

About the Book

Divorce Realities by Borislav Đukanović and Natasa Krivokapic offers a compelling, research-based exploration of one of modern society’s most sensitive and transformative experiences — divorce. Drawing on decades of international sociological and psychological studies, the book examines how shifting cultural values, gender roles, and economic conditions have reshaped the institution of marriage and the meaning of separation. From Europe and the United States to the Middle East and Asia, the authors reveal striking global contrasts: where divorce once signified moral failure, it is increasingly viewed as an act of personal autonomy and resilience. Yet beneath these trends lie profound emotional, social, and health consequences for partners and children alike. Combining empirical data with humane insight, Divorce Realities guides readers through the complex interplay of causes — from economic hardship and communication breakdowns to modernization and gender inequality — while challenging stereotypes and offering pathways toward understanding. This is an essential book for readers seeking to comprehend the changing face of family, love, and human connection in the 21st century.
