Abstract

The divorce cases among adult Muslim couples in Malaysia have shown an increase every year, particularly among those aged 40 and above who have been married for more than 10 years. Previous studies have mostly focused on younger couples and short-term marriages, while research on divorce among adult Muslim couples in densely populated urban areas exposed to urbanization, such as the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, remains limited. This study aims to identify the main causes of divorce among the Malay community and its implications for the mental health of the divorced couples and their close family members. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with five participants from diverse backgrounds who reside or work in Kuala Lumpur. The findings reveal that the main causes of divorce include neglect of financial support and responsibilities, third-party interference, polygamy, substance addiction, and domestic violence. Indirectly, divorce has been found to contribute to an increase in mental health issues among the couples and their family members. It is hoped that this study will serve as a useful reference for relevant stakeholders in formulating intervention strategies to address the issue of divorce and its consequences.
