ABSTRACT
The article offers a socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of divorce, as the severance of the closest relationships that exist in society – the relationship between husband and wife, between parents and children. An attempt is made to critically comprehend modern social positions in relation to marriage as “limiting bonds of freedom”, and to divorce as a “window to freedom”, to study the motives for divorce and to search for ways to overcome the dissolution of marriage. This study was carried out based on a combination of sociophilosophical analysis and an interdisciplinary approach in compliance with the principles of systematicity, development and interconnection of the phenomena of reality. Comparative-historical, comparative-contrastive and structural-functional analysis is used. Based on the data of the author's regional study in Crimea, the motives for divorce are investigated, among which they stand out. problems of an ideological and personal nature, disagreement in ideas about family roles, the unpreparedness of one of the spouses for the birth of a child, family and everyday problems, housing issues. J. Levinger's model of strengthening marriage is being adapted to modern conditions, which consists of increasing the attractiveness of marriage; reducing the attractiveness of alternative relationships (“civil marriage”); increasing number of obstacles on the path to divorce. The findings of the study also indicate that the upward trend in divorce rates and the downward trend in marriages represent a kind of “scissors” that curtail the institution of the family.
