Abstract
Divorce has become an increasingly threatening phenomenon in Qatari society. It reached a towering 56.2% in 2014 and is thus the cause of sustained alarm and worry due to its dreadful impact on individuals, families, and society itself. Moreover, this alarming rise stands in glaring contrast to the goals set by Qatar's National Development Strategy 2011–2016. These goals include building a peaceful, secure, and stable society under effective government and family institutions and developing policies and programs to promote family cohesion.
This field study will be conducted at Wifāq - Family Consulting Center, to which divorce cases are usually transferred from the Family Court to carry out family reforms and provide family counseling to both parties. The study will aim to determine the causes of divorce through interviews conducted with counselors working to resolve family conflicts and their mode of action in addressing the divorce cases that are filed. It will conclude with recommendations from both the counselors and the authors to reduce this phenomenon in Qatari society.
