Divorce is permissible in nearly all societies, religions, and cultures, but it is often a last option. This article explores effects of divorce on women. A sample of 210 divorced women in Pakistan were randomly selected for in-depth interviews. To assess the level of association between an independent variable statement and dependent variables, chi-square tests were carried out. Reliability analysis was also performed, and the overall reliability coefficient was .75. At the bivariate level, sexual relationship of a woman with her husband;s brother and prioritizing career over family were found to be significant (p < .05) with effect of divorce on females. At a multivariate level controlling for type of marriage and literacy, a nonspurious relationship existed for marriage for love and moral aspects with effects of divorce. A spurious relationship was found for literacy and moral aspects with effects of divorce on women. Extramarital sex, gambling, domestic violence, homosexuality, physical and verbal abuse, prioritizing career, drugs, and mistrust were found to be contributing factors for divorce. Education on morality, rights and duties of spouses, and their limitations are among the recommendations for addressing this issue.
