Le divorce en Tunisie : faits et causes à partir de quelques indices statistiques et quelques données empiriques

الملخص EN

The present work is divided into three parts: the first deals with a theoretical approach appropriate to the topic being studied; the second tackles the quantitative approach of the phenomenon of divorce in Tunisia; finally, the third part tries to analyze the causes of divorce based on the empirical work that has been carried out previously.

, it has been found that, contrary to partisan tendentious rhetoric, divorce in Tunisia is not merely a default magnification of some worried quarters.

Rather, its rate is much less rapid than before and than elsewhere, though the initiative to divorce is still male-dominated.

This situation might be in the benefit of women; also, the divorce affects all categories of women apart to their disparity statutory and their geographical locality.

In addition, the etiological analysis showed that the divorce reveals a deep tension within the couple.

The origins of this tension are very complicated.

Divorce, like the marriage, represent two different sides of the same problematic: the evolution of the relationship between men and women which is in permanent change in the cultural, social and economic context.
