Abstract: Islam highly discourages divorce and it is the most hateful thing in the sight of Allah. Recently, divorce has rapidly increased among Muslim Community in Sri Lanka. This descriptive study was conducted among 20 couple of divorcees at Akkaraipattu DS division of Ampara district in order to identify the impacts of divorce among Muslim divorced men and divorced women in psychological perspective with an application of Kessler’s seven stage model of divorce. Interviews and observations were the primary data collection methods and articles, books, journals and websites were the secondary data collection methods used for this study. The study explored that divorce carries emotional difficulties among divorcees and psychological impact of divorce is more severe among divorced women than divorced men. Muslim divorced men try to regain emotional well-being through hard work, though Muslim divorced women remain in the same condition of mourning with mixture of feelings after their divorce.
