Economic and Social Factors Exacerbate Divorce Rates in Iraq Amid Societal Warnings

Iraqi courts are recording a noticeable increase in divorce rates, prompting warnings of serious repercussions on family stability. Field studies have identified six main factors behind this phenomenon, led by economic struggles such as unemployment and living pressures. Other causes include the negative impact of social media, leading to "electronic infidelity," as well as family interference, early marriage, drug abuse, and the influence of foreign cultures. Social researchers have called for comprehensive awareness campaigns and enhanced family counseling programs to curb the disintegration of the social fabric.
