This study seeks to describe and analyze the major socio-cultural variables related to the phenomenon of divorce in At-Turra village. To investigate such phenomenon and its constant rising percentage, the researcher used the ethnographic method which entailed participant observation as well as extended interviews with both the divorced and their families. Analysis of ethnographic data reveals that neglecting the socio-cultural and economic norms existing in the society plays a crucial role in destabilizing emotional relationships between the married couple due to internal factors related to the family itself or external ones manifested in the intertwined Shari'a teachings, tribal norms and traditions, and major transformations in the society.
