Rapid divorce has devastating effects on women's mental health
Rapid divorce has devastating effects on women's mental health |
A Danish study revealed that rapid divorce leaves profound negative effects on the mental and physical health of women compared to men.
The researchers found that the mental and physical health of divorced women who were studied, significantly deteriorated, and they emphasized that understanding the effects of separation can help psychologists find ways for divorced women to stand on their feet again, and avoid long-term repercussions.
Professor Geert Hald from the University of Copenhagen said, "We were able to study divorced women who had obtained the so-called immediate divorce in Denmark, which is decided upon within a very short period not exceeding five days."
Professor Hald and his team obtained data from 1856 recently divorced women, and a questionnaire was conducted on the background, health and timing of their divorce, and found that the divorce caused psychological and physical harm to them.
Dr. Surin Sander, a research associate in the study, said: "The mental and physical health of divorced women who got a quick divorce was much worse compared to women who got a slow divorce."
In contrast to the situation that women go through after divorce, researchers found that men have better mental health after divorce, according to what was reported in the British newspaper The Daily Mail.
4 things that lead a woman to ask for a divorce from her husband
In many cases, the man’s negative behavior is an indication that his marital life is on its way to an end, after the wife becomes impatient with these behaviors and ends up asking for separation.
The "Family Share" website focused on 4 negative behaviors by the man, which have a devastating impact on marital life, and lead the woman to seek separation from him:
1- Restriction on the wife
The wife always needs a margin of freedom for her life with her husband to be balanced, so the husband should not tighten the screws on her and prevent her from practicing the activities that she loves, because that will make her feel trapped and she will try to break these restrictions by any means possible.
2- Stay away from it for long periods
If a man turns away from his wife and is distracted from her, whether by work or other things, the wife feels neglected and leads to her attempt to get rid of this situation in the way she deems appropriate.
3- Constant criticism
A man’s relationship with his wife may witness many disagreements and pitfalls, but constant criticism of the wife makes her feel annoyed and alienated, which may ultimately lead her to seek separation.
4- Miserliness and extravagance
The husband’s misbehavior in financial matters is a repulsive matter for the wife, as miserliness is an unpleasant characteristic that a woman hates in her husband, and extravagance often leads to bankruptcy, and these two things are enough to prompt the wife to seek separation.
