Abstract

 The study aimed to examine the relationship between the variable of socio-cultural changes in its dimensions (changes in moral values, changes in cultural values) and the variable of the phenomenon of khul' in the Algerian society, specifically in the city of Jijel (Algeria). The descriptive method was used, and a questionnaire was distributed to a purposive sample of three hundred (300) individuals. The data was statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software.


       The results showed that there is no statistically significant relationship between changes in moral values and the wife's initiation of khul' in Algerian society. Additionally, there is no statistically significant relationship between changes in cultural values and the wife's request for khul' from her husband in the Algerian family. The study also concluded that there are no differences in respondents' answers regarding the issue of khul' attributable to the gender variable, nor are there differences attributable to the marital status variable. However,  there are statistically significant differences attributable to the respondents' place of residence.
