Divorce is a complex psycho-social phenomenon. It is the end product of a long process of marital disharmony
ignited by multiple factors. The incidence of divorce is a major upsetting event that brings new stressors and
strain into the lives of most of the spouses. Due to strong socialization for conjugal role and low social status,
women are at a greater disadvantage in divorce. Most women undergo considerable psychological distress such
as depression, lostness, alienation and a sense of personal rejection after divorce. The present study intends to
comprehend the phenomenon of divorce in the given socio-cultural context of India and to examine the impact
of divorce on the subjective well-being of divorced women belonging to Hindu and Muslim community. The
sample of the study comprised 55 divorced women (25 Hindu, 30 Muslim) and 60 intact-married subjects (30
Hindu, 30 Muslim). A self-developed Subjective Well-being Scale (SWS) was used. The statistical measures of
mean, SD and t-test were applied to analyze the collated data. The results revealed that social, emotional,
financial, and health were the important facets of life where most of the divorced women found dissatisfied.
Findings have implications for devising policies and programs for the welfare of women in general and
divorced women in particular.
