In many developing societies, marriage is not only a personal relationship but also a deeply rooted social institution. Divorce, while legally permissible, often carries significant stigma—particularly for women. I’m interested in understanding how these social expectations and cultural pressures impact women's mental health, especially those navigating marital instability or separation later in life. I would appreciate insights from researchers working on gender, mental health, and cultural studies. What tools or frameworks have you found useful in examining these dynamics? Are there regional studies or comparative works that highlight differences in how stigma manifests? Let’s discuss challenges, data gaps, and any innovative approaches you’ve seen or used.
