الطلاق وآثاره الاجتماعية والقانونية

Abstract

Divorce is a complex social and legal phenomenon that goes beyond the boundaries of the marital relationship to affect family stability and societal cohesion. On the social level, divorce leaves psychological and behavioral effects on both spouses and negatively impacts children in terms of upbringing and integration. It also contributes to the spread of family disintegration and deviant behavior. From a legal perspective, the Algerian Family Law regulates the rules and procedures of divorce and defines the rights resulting from it, such as alimony and custody, while granting the judiciary a fundamental role in attempting reconciliation and resolving disputes. Nevertheless, there remain challenges in implementation, such as difficulty in proving rights, slow legal procedures, and a lack of legal awareness among citizens. This calls for activating protective mechanisms and updating legislation related to the family.
