by the in-family conflicts during a divorce process. As the reasons of a divorce,
infidelity, alcohol consumption and ego-centric modern life primarily distort the normal course of life between couples and finally destroy the unity
of a family. As understood in the verses from Koran and hadiths, divorce
stems from the weakness of religious life and it is not welcommed. Adversities
in the process of a divorce primarily cause long-lasting effects between
the couples and damage their life and psychological orders.
Children are the ones affected most in the course of a divorce. The fall of a
family, a haven for children, affects children deeply and damages their sense
of belonging and trust. The psycho-social life of a child, who doesn’t feel himself
safe and whose anxiety-level increases, is doomed to fail. Creating a spiritual
atmosphere for children in such a distressing process and the assistance
of relatives can partially restore their psycho-social life. <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Sivas Cumhuriyet University}
