Abstract
ABSTRACT The present research delves into the divorce process and its justification through young Indian unmarried youth. Building on the results obtained from the pilot study, a vignette-based experiment was then conducted on 80 students (40 males, 40 females; Mage = 22.30). The experiment followed a between-subject design where each vignette presented a narrative of a deteriorating marriage, conveyed from a woman’s standpoint, followed by questions addressing the justification for divorce. Results showed a preference for divorce in cases of infidelity over incompatibility. The participants held the belief that instances of infidelity impacted the mental and physical well-being of females more profoundly than cases of incompatibility. It is noteworthy that both male and female participants supported divorce in a similar manner, highlighting the lack of substantial gender-based differences in this matter. Additionally, the presence of a child did not significantly affect divorce-related decisions, suggesting that having a child did not salvage failing marriages.
