Abstract The main aim of the present study is to investigate the married people’s attitude towards emotional divorce. For this purpose, 400 married people were selected from Khorramabad city using a cluster sampling method. The independent variables of the research were social trust, commitment to social norms, and habitus. Also in order to measure the emotional divorce, we constructed a scale based on Chalabi and Baudrillard’s theories. The descriptive results showed that %41 of married people had a positive attitude toward emotional divorce, while%31 had a negative attitude about it. Multiple regression analysis revealed that %44 of attitudes toward emotional divorce are explained by a decrease in social trust and commitment to social norms and an increase in habitus differences. In a path analysis, social trust has had the most influence and the commitment to social norms have the least effect on the attitude of married individuals to emotional divorce.
