مقاربة سوسيو أنثربولوجية لممارسات تعدي ظاهرة العنوسة بمدينة قسنطينة -لجزائر

Abstract EN

The society conferred to marriage an important place as its most important system, and rejected lesser than it such as spinsterhood.

This phenomenon, which has witnessed an exacerbation, must be analyzed, especially when it comes to women.

We aim, therefore, to investigate the pattern of practices used by the spinster to overcome the situation, based on the analytical descriptive method along with its techniques.

We have found that these practices takes a different form of social and religious acceptance, driven by the societal inferiority perspective of the spinster based on the sacredness of marriage and male domination, cultural affiliation as well as livelihood cyclical factors
