Originality/value: This study presented the theoretical concept of violence against children and women at a substantive level.

SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THE DYNAMICS OF SPOUSE RELATIONSHIPS UNDER QUARANTINE

The purpose of the article is to highlight the results of the study of the influence of social and psychological factors on the dynamics of spouse relations under quarantine. The research tasks were solved with the help of a set of theoretical and empirical methods of psychodiagnostic research: "Typical Marital Status" (E. Eidemiller), "Marriage Satisfaction" questionnaire (V. Stolin), Color relationship test (A. Etkind) , "Dynamics of psychological closeness in a married couple" (O. Kronyk), "Tolerance to uncertainty" (S. Badner) and express diagnosis of marital relations under quarantine restrictions (according to V. Stolin's "Marriage Satisfaction" questionnaire). Based on the results of the empirical research, the socio-psychological factors (tolerance, the state of the individual in the family) of the dynamics of such parameters of the partner's relationship as psychological closeness and attitude towards the partner have been singled out. The study was conducted under the conditions of a long-term quarantine due to Covid-19 and covered the period from 2020 to the end of 2021. The sample included married couples who are in an official marriage. The invitation to participate in the study was posted on social networks – mainly among participants of psychological groups in the Viber messenger. Based on the understanding of quarantine as a certain set of restrictive measures that can have a destructive effect, we have proven that the disruption of stability in the dynamics of marital relations in conditions of long-term quarantine is a factor that negatively affects all family members, regardless of the fact that the events, which occur during the stay of the spouses in quarantine conditions, can be both negative and positive, joyful and long-awaited. Based on the results of the conducted research, it can be stated that quarantine conditions do not have a decisive negative impact on the factors of marital satisfaction, while they have a certain destructive effect on the socio-psychological factors of tolerance and the state of an individual in a married couple. Quarantine conditions cause destruction in marital relations, attitude towards partner and psychological closeness, which we identified in the research. The psychological recommendations developed on the basis of the obtained data are tested in the process of family counseling and are able to slow down the negative dynamics of the development of marital relations under quarantine

A Comparison Between The Official Marriage And The Imam's Marriage As Practiced Today In Terms Of Fiqh

Aile, toplumun en küçük sosyal birimi ve toplumu ayakta tutan en önemli parçasıdır. Bu kurum, kadın ve erkek arasında akdedilen nikâhla başlamaktadır. Bu nikâh akdinin gerek ülkemizde yürürlülükte olan Medeni Hukukun gerekse İslam Hukukunun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere uygun olması gereklidir. Zira hukuken geçerli olabilmesi için medeni hukukun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere, dinen geçerli olabilmesi için de İslam Hukukunun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere uygun olması gerekir. Burada Medeni hukuk ile İslam Hukukunun ayrı tutulmasının temelinde Medeni hukukun nikâh akdiyle ilgili belirlediği kriterlerin İslam Hukukunun belirlediği kriterleri tamamen kapsamaması yatmaktadır. Bundan dolayı sadece ülkemizde yürürlükte olan Medeni hukuka göre akdedilen nikâh akdi İslam hukukuna göre sıkıntılıdır. Bu çalışmada bu iki hukukun nikâh akdiyle ilgili belirledikleri ölçü ve usuller mukayese edilmiştir.

Analysis of coping strategies in military amputees: main types, level of expression and relationship with socio-demographic characteristics

Based on the approaches found in the relevant literature and the obtained empirical data, three groups of coping strategies were identified in military personnel who had amputations during the full-scale war of the Russian federation against Ukraine: active-productive, active-semi-productive, and passive-unproductive. The coping strategies specific to each group were listed. It was found that there are certain achievements and limitations in the use of coping strategies by military amputees. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between coping strategies in crisis situations in military amputees and their socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, presence of children), which is manifested in the fact that older military personnel as well as those who live in an official marriage or in a civil one and have families and children are more oriented to the use of active, productive and semi-productive coping strategies.

الزواج العرفي بين الفقه الإسلامي والقانون الإندونيسي

Customary marriages, also known as unregistered marriages, are often misunderstood as unannounced (siri) marriages, even though not all unregistered marriages are siri (secret) in nature. This study aims to explain the nature of unregistered marriage, its difference from the syar'i marriage, official marriage and unannounced marriage. At the same time, this study also adresses that customary marriage, even though it is legal according to Islamic fiqh, is not recommended since it contradicts with the Qur'anic commandment regarding the need of muslim to comply with waliyyul amr or those who hold authority. The customary marriage also may results in mafsadat which can actually be avoided by registering marriages according to government regulations. Meanwhile, under Indonesian legal system, customary marriage has no legal justification, and as a result there is no legal guarantee for married couples. As well, this study confirms that customary marriage ignores the legal existence to women and children who will be born, such practise is not in accordance with the purpose of the marriage itself.

Problems of the family institution in the youth environment

The problems of the family institution are reflected in the family values transformation. The patterns of family and marriage relations which are traditional for historical Russia come into conflict with modern realities. This transformation affects primarily the youth environment, putting young people in front of a tough choice between socially approved career growth and a quiet feat inconspicuous to the world within family relationships. The all-Russian study “Self-regulation of the Life of Young People in a Changing Social Reality”, conducted in the fall of 2020, revealed problematic aspects of marital relations. The traditional values of the family, which are historically common for Russia, are opposed to a set of modern values characteristic of the liberal model and sometimes inferior to the latter. The course laid down by the founders of communism to eliminate the monogamous family as an economic unit of society gives its late shoots refracting in the individualization of society, leveling the significance of official marriage unions and reducing the number of children in families. The results of the all-Russian sociological survey of young people make it possible to identify the real marital status of young people in Russia and to consider its models. The article analyzes the prevalence of so-called “civil marriages” and the correction of attitudes towards them by official bodies. The author gives the rationale for the growing popularity of the “Japanese model” in marital relations, as well as the reasons that push young people to short-term marriage unions fraught with loneliness. The nature of young people relationship with their parents is considered and different generations of youth are compared. The idea of the respondents about the meaning of the family is investigated and the main motives for marriage are established. The number of children in modern youth families is revealed and trends in various social groups are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about the instability of the family institution in the modern world and the need to protect it by the state.

ПОНЯТТЯ ТА СТАН ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ПРОТИДІЇ ДОМАШНЬОМУ НАСИЛЬСТВУ В УКРАЇНІ: КРИМІНАЛЬНО-ПРАВОВЕ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of “domestic violence” in the science of criminal law and the legislation of Ukraine. It has been established that the number of appeals and reports of domestic violence in Ukraine is growing every year. The article explores various scientific approaches to the concept of “domestic violence” and related concepts. The following definition of the term “domestic violence” has been proposed: actions or threat of use of actions of a physical, psychological, economic or sexual nature, committed in relation to one of the spouses, relatives by blood, relatives on the spouse’s side or other relatives or persons who are connected by a common household, and (or) live together if such actions lead to physical or psychological suffering, health disorders, violate the human right to freedom and personal integrity, honor and dignity, or other legally protected rights or interests of the individual. Attention is focused on the fact that the problem of domestic violence is global in nature and concerns all countries of the world. The paper analyzes international legal acts in the field of domestic violence prevention and national legislation in this area, draws attention to conflicts and contradictions in the legislation that negatively affect the fight against domestic violence and bringing the perpetrators to justice. Based on the analysis of national legislation, it is proposed to distinguish 4 groups of victims of domestic violence: 1) spouses who are married, in de facto marital relations (without official marriage registration) or former spouses, 2) relatives by blood, 3) relatives through the spouse 4) others relatives or other persons connected by a common life, and (or) living together. It is noted that administrative and criminal liability is provided for committing domestic violence in Ukraine, and the sign of systematic domestic violence is crucial for the possibility of criminal prosecution for domestic violence. It is proposed to strengthen the responsibility for domestic violence by increasing the term of imprisonment for domestic violence up to 5 years, since now the maximum sentence for domestic violence is up to 2 years in prison, and often such punishment is not commensurate with the actions of the perpetrator and the suffering of victims of domestic violence.

"Surrogate paternity" as voluntary or involuntary blackmail of the judicial system

The article, based on a general assessment of the institution of surrogate motherhood, discusses the issue of participation in its programs of a man who is not married ("single man"). The legal ways of his paternity outside of the official marriage are analyzed. Cases of using the practice of illegal "surrogate paternity", contrary to the purpose of the aforementioned institution, are stated. The practice of forced legalization of the parenthood of this man by the judicial system is stated: the courts satisfy complaints about the refusal of the registry office to register the paternity of children born by a surrogate mother on his “order”, guided by the best interests of the child. At the same time, there is no proper reaction to the «deviance» of the situation - neither in the framework of its legal assessment at the level of law enforcement, nor in a «passionate» manner, that is, in the context of the exercise of the right of higher courts to legislative initiative.

Effect of Syrian Refugees on Native Family Formation: Marriage and Divorce Trends in Turkey

After the civil war in Syria, Turkey faced a massive refugee wave, making Turkey the top refugee-hosting country in the world. Besides the economic burden of this refugee population, various field surveys reveal that Turkish citizens have some negative perceptions about the refugees. One of the leading concerns on refugees is their possible effects on native family formation by affecting marriage and divorce rates. This study examines the effect of the Syrian refugees on family formation by comparing the trends in different geographical areas of Turkey. While border cities and relatively developed cities host a significant number of Syrians, there are few Syrians living in cities away from the border. By conducting spatial analysis, the study checks whether there is a change in divorce/marriage rates in cities with a high concentration of refugees compared to cities with fewer refugees. By considering the endogenous location choice of the refugees, the study proposes a distance-based instrument to overcome the endogeneity problem in a Difference-in-Differences setting. Results indicate that the refugees do not affect the existing trends in divorce rates and divorce cases. However, there is a limited adverse impact on official marriages. A 1% increase in the refugee ratio corresponds to a 0.03% reduction in official marriages.

Факторы психологического благополучия российской молодежи

The article presents the results of studying the characteristics of psychological well-being of young people in Russia with the PERMA-Profiler questionnaire adapted for the Russian-speaking sample by O.M. Isaeva, A.Yu. Akimova, E.N. Volkova. The study involved 11811 young people living in the central part of Russia.

Young people who are positive about their future prospects, focused on strong family and good education, expressing trusting attitude to modern technologies, following world trends in environmental and humanistic orientation, have higher scores of general well-being and its components as compared to those who are focused on increasing material wealth and power over other people, are characterized by a pessimistic attitude towards the future, dissatisfaction with the financial situation, and having low confidence in modern technologies.

REPRODUCTIVE AND MIGRATION ATTITUDES OF CONTEMPORARY YOUTH OF THE EAEU STATES (RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN: A CASE STUDY)

The article is devoted to the current aspects of demographic development in the EAEU member states in the context of studying the specifics of the reproductive and migratory behavior of young people in Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The modern generation of young people in post-Soviet countries over the past three decades has been influenced by various factors that have radically transformed their views on family, childbirth and migration. Their attitudes towards reproductive and migratory behavior will dominate the future demographic trends not only in each of the studied countries, but also in the Eurasian space as a whole. Therefore, a detailed study of the attitudes of the young and educated generation is the most important task of demographic and sociological sciences. Based on the results of a sociological survey conducted using a unified methodology, the article examines the features of reproductive and migratory behavior in countries at different stages of the “demographic transition.” It reveals the peculiarities of the respondents’ attitude from the three states to official marriage, age preferences for starting a family and giving birth to their first child. Reproductive judgments regarding anticipated and ideal number of children are identified. The use of the ranking method allowed to detect ​​the normative childbearing models in the three countries and the differences between them. The conclusion states that in all the states in question, the prevailing socio-economic conditions are an obstacle to the implementation of the existing ideal reproductive attitudes. The gender peculiarities of the views of young people in the three countries on extramarital unions, reproductive patterns and “planned childlessness” were noted. The article demonstrates that, with regard to the results of the study, in the next 25 to 30 years families in Russia will likely have a small number of children, in Kazakhstan—an average number, and reproductive behavior in Kyrgyzstan will likely retain its tendency towards having many children. The article also contains conclusions about specific migration attitudes based on the replies to questions about the preferred place to apply professional skills, create a family and have children. The dependence of migration attitudes on gender and country of residence has been revealed. Based on empirical data, the groups of respondents characterized by pragmatic, patriotic and antipatriotic migratory behavior have been identified. It was determined that young people who live in Kyrgyzstan are more focused on moving to a new place of residence, while all respondents are quite cosmopolitan in regard to the place of application of their professional skills, and students are most patriotic about the place to start a family.
