Abstract:

Divorce is the legal termination of the marriage between couples, the separation of the spouses and the dissolution of family unity. Turkey is in a state where the number of divorces has increased in recent years and the time of marriage has changed. The physical and spiritual difficulties between the spouses in the divorce act are essential. Difficulty that affects the fact of divorce can be shown as common causes as they can vary from region to region; individuals' educational levels, economic difficulties, the departure of the woman to work, inability, zina, crime and dishonesty, mindfulness to life, abandonment, mental illness, and the disruption of marriage. The reasons for divorce from 2020 have also been added to the difficulties in the pandemic period. The couples who have been forced to spend time at home for a long time in this period have begun to experience the problem of disconnection and this problem has been negatively reflected in family relationships. Factors around the world, such as economic problems that have fundamentally changed everyday life, increased unemployment problems, shrinking schools and shops, have increased stress on people. According to divorce data published by the Turkish Statistical Bureau (TÜIK), the brutal divorce rate of ‰1.41 in 2001 increased over the years to ‰1.90 in 2019. Due to the start of full closures during the Covid-19 epidemic and the closure of courts, divorce rates have decreased in 2020 and the brutal divorce rate has dropped to ‰1.64, and in 2021 it has risen to ‰2.07. In the conducted study, the statistics of divorce obtained from the TÜIK were analyzed and the data related to the fact of divorce were evaluated. Multi-linear regression analysis has been applied in order to evaluate the factors that influence the fact of divorce from a statistical perspective. The severe rate of divorce (KBH) is determined as important factors and has a positive impact on divorce, and the independent variables of income (national income per person) and education level (ocurious population ratio) are determined. The Minitab 20 program has been used to perform multiple regression analysis. Analysis shows that the rise in divorce rates in recent years has become a social problem that we need to focus on in our country. It is believed that the work on the subject will increase awareness, and it will be effective in the production of plans and projects to solve the problem, as well as in the development of solutions proposals.
