?:abstract
  • Compares family values, marriage breakdown, & divorce in Malta & Western Europe, drawing on 1981-1995 survey data. Explored are likely outcomes from a national commission set up to obtain the widest possible consensus for the introduction of divorce in Malta on a Western European model that fits most closely to the local situation. Country-specific factors & social differences for permissive divorce are examined, & a hypothesis of the significance of a Catholic family culture for the upkeep of a restrictive morality on marriage values & divorce is tested. Sufficient reasons for marriage breakdown & divorce - eg, domestic violence, adultery, & alcohol abuse - are discussed, along with ways that justification & support of the divorce principle are differentiated by sociodemographic characteristics. In the Euro-Mediterranean city-island of late modernity, Malta, the observed shift in the values of the family, the secularization of sexuality, & increase in marriage breakdown are still accompanied by a strong Catholic family culture that resists civil settlement by divorce. Divorce might be legalized if the needs of a significant minority are given greater importance over the rule of a moral majority that excludes them. (xsd:string)
