Abstract
The family institution, like other social institutions, undergoes a far-reaching change during coping with the great evolutions. The evolutions such as the marketization of contemporary life and its inevitable consequences, including individualism, consumerism, personal development, and progress have created a new situation, in which the family should reflect on the social roles and norms. The “divorce institution” is the other side of the family. This paper examined the existing data using the semi-structured interview technique. The findings showed that in order to decrease the damage, it is necessary to establish a divorce institution. A divorce is an end of a family and it also can end the family institution due to its social consequences. Therefore, it can be said that establishing the divorce institution will stabilize the family institution.
