Zusammenfassung:This research is an ethnographic study focused on the women’s narratives about their marital and divorce issues and impact on their health. Women’s narratives about their issues, starting with deliberating in what way narrative explanation is a beneficial gismo for appreciative and in what way women build and convey their gendered identities through unfolding their stories, are a focus of this study. This as a result enlightened the association between the individual and society, where combined patterns of gendered socialization begin through apparently private interpretations. The study employed a mixed-method design containing in-depth structured and unstructured interviews, and focus group discussions key informants were used for data collection. This study also examined how women used narratives to explain their issues on the basis of health and justify their problems through narratives. Efforts were made through this the research to get the real narratives of women, wherein the middle of the speculative pattern was found. The hierarchy and priority of social issues as considered were women were experienced. Through personal narratives, subjects create and recreate representations of the self within socialized contexts. Feminist researchers have therefore stressed the importance of using women’s own experiences as a starting point to theories about broader social relations. Women’s narratives therefore illuminate the relationship between individual and society, where collective patterns of gendered socialization emerge through seemingly personal accounts.
