Impact of Divorce on the Physical & Psychological Well-Being of Couple

In most cultures, marriage is an indispensable institution. It is a life event that results in a couple and subsequent offspring being born. The influence of divorce on families is demonstrated in literature from the West. In India, attitudes towards divorce have shifted, and divorce rates have risen over the years, but research on the issue is scarce. This paper discusses India's literature on the causes and consequences of divorce and offers a summary of divorce’s psychosocial determinants and its consequences on families and adolescents. This research work is descriptive. Results indicate that divorce has a detrimental effect on ex-partners' overall health status, psychological health, physical health and health behavior. A number of factors are found to mediate the effect of divorce on the health indicators chosen, including person-related characteristics and living conditions. For study, 16 research studies from 2001 to 2018 were listed. The studies were reviewed with reference to the targets, the techniques used, and the key effects.
