The Women's Affairs Unit, in cooperation with the Division of Continuing Education and the Psychological Counseling and Educational Guidance Unit at the College of Law and Political Science, held a scientific symposium on the importance of family cohesion and the real reasons for the increase in divorce cases.
The symposium, which was held under the chairmanship of Dr. Rosa Hussein Nemat and with the membership of Professor Dr. Saad Al-Attiyah, Dr. Iyad Mahmoud, Dr. Ali Finch, and Dr. Najwa Najm Al-Din, addressed the definition of the concept of family cohesion and family disintegration, while explaining the importance of dialogue as one of the most prominent tools for strengthening cohesion within the family, and explaining the reasons leading to the disintegration of families and societies. The most prominent phenomenon of divorce is perhaps the absence of a legal framework to combat domestic violence and the absence of complete harmony between family members.
The symposium recommended a set of solutions that enhance harmony and cohesion within the same family, including focusing on mutual respect between members of the same family and mutual acceptance of opinions.
