Last year, I recorded a divorce case for a spouse who was 92 years old, another one year younger than him, and three cases for couples who had reached the age of 90.
On the other hand, the increase in the number of registered divorces among other age groups did not stop, and last year there was a case of divorce for an 18-year-old man.
A professor of culture and society at the Canadian University in Dubai, Dr. Saif Rashid Al-Jabri, confirmed that there are cases of divorce occurring among the elderly, who have reached the threshold of eighty.
He said that divorce in the "autumn of life" is rare, and this is what makes its occurrence traumatic for others, compared to the cases of marriages that have passed for short or medium periods.
"The cause of the shock is that divorce in this type of case comes after a long period of ten years, interspersed with many experiences and common human and social situations, which establish a kind of understanding between the two parties," Al-Jabri said.
He said, "Despite the scarcity of these cases in our society, they require study and intervention by the concerned authorities to find out the causes, treatment and reduction of divorce."
Al-Jabri attributed the divorce of the elderly to different reasons and circumstances from those behind the divorce of other age groups, explaining that there are special psychological, social and material factors.
He said that some elderly divorce cases occur because of the wife's misbehavior, her lack of patience with her elderly husband, and the failure to take into account the nature of the age stage that he is going through, especially if there is an age gap between them, which is his response to divorce.
He called on the concerned authorities to reconsider the method of family guidance for this age group before the divorce was approved, as “ordinary family reformers cannot be used. Rather, it is necessary to seek the help of specialists and psychiatrists and social doctors with a degree of knowledge and knowledge of the psychological and health conditions of this group, to settle any family disputes to reduce Divorce cases ».
He pointed out that “the state has approved laws and directives and has given priority to providing full care for this group, and it is important to work on organizing continuous training courses and seminars to qualify children on how to care for their elderly parents and provide them with psychological and family support, and to inform wives of the nature of the age stage of the elderly, and develop their skills. In dealing with them, caring for them, and preserving them ».
