ISTRI INVOLUNTARY CHILDLESSNESS
%X nvoluntary childlessness is the condition of not having children when the
individual or partner wants to have them. Involuntary childlessness has major
psychological and social implications for couples, and is disproportionately
experienced by women, especially in environments where fertility is highly valued.
This study seeks to examine the psychological dynamics of wives who experience
involuntary childlessness. The approach used in this study is qualitative with
phenomenological methods. The informants in this study were four wives who
experienced involuntary childlessness. The results of the study found that there
were feelings of depression, sadness, disappointment, and feelings of imperfection
as a woman in the early days of childless marriages. The source of pressure that
made the informants feel hurt was talk or jokes, the majority of which came from
the environment outside the family. There were positive things found by the
informants regarding not having children, while the difficulties during trying to
have children made them more grateful and able to understand their partner better.
Even though they were in difficult times and felt pressured, in the end all the
informants were able to surrender, be happy and still enjoy their childless marriage.
