Marital infidelity has emerged as a significant challenge in modern married life, leading to the unfortunate breakdown of numerous families. Despite its destructive impact, there remains a lack of comprehensive awareness and understanding surrounding this issue. Hence, the objective of this study was to develop a model for comprehending couple dissolution through the lens of social exclusion.

Fifteen academic experts and family counselors were purposively selected as participants, representing the sample for this study. In-depth interviews were conducted as the primary method of data collection, continuing until theoretical saturation was achieved. The findings of this research revealed a comprehensive model outlining the process of couple dissolution using the social exclusion approach. This model comprised six key components: causal factors, central phenomena, strategies, underlying factors, interfering factors, and consequences.

This will make it easier and more appealing for families to engage and participate in society. Furthermore, municipalities can play a significant role by organizing cultural and social family programs, making a vivid impact.
