 Abstract 

 

This study aimed at investigating the reasons behind divorce in the Palestinian society. The study analyzes legal judge's perspective and Mufti's perspective for this phenomena. To accomplish this study, the researchers used two questionnaires: a 25-item questionnaire about the reasons behind divorce and another questionnaire of 20 items about the suggested remedies for the causes. The two questionnaires were distributed among (13) male Muftis at Dar Al-Ifta' Al-Falasteeniyya who served as the respondents and provided the data for this research in the year 2018. The findings of this study, showed that the main reasons behind divorce are social, emotional, unawareness in choosing the right partner and misusing of technology applications regardless of the respondents age and qualification. Findings also showed that the majority of divorce rate occurs in the period of engagement. Based on these results, the researchers recommended that the awareness of the couples of the negative impact of the interference of parents with what happened between them is basic in stopping divorce. Another recommendation is the need for specialists to avoid and solve marital problems and focus on religious and moral aspects when dealing with spouses in addition to appropriate use of technology implementations.
