Abstract: (1682 Views)
Objective: Youths represent the most critical and constructive human resource within any given society, and the institution of marriage constitutes one of the pivotal phases of existence that transpires during youth. The objective of the current investigation was to ascertain the anticipated trajectories of youth marriage by examining the prospective developments associated with marriage within the temporal framework of 2040.
Methods: The present inquiry was conducted with a practical focus and adopted a descriptive and qualitative approach concerning data acquisition. Following consultations with scholars specialized in research methodologies, a cohort of 20 experts in the domain of marriage was selected as the sample for this study. The data for this research were extracted and subjected to analysis through semi-structured interviews. Given the openness of the responses, the researcher has identified the fundamental factors within the interviews as interrelated components. From the preliminary categorization of the participants' significant phrases, a total of 199 interview excerpts yielded 312 key phrases and 5570 words, leading to the extraction of 61 initial tags. Among these 61 initial labels, 38 components were identified, and the process of naming and selecting these components was informed by literature reviews.
Results The findings derived from the semi-structured interviews with experts suggest the existence of various envisioned futures: a favorable future, an unfavorable future, and a probable future.
Conclusions: Based on the three prospective paradigms of youth marriage, there will be concomitant responsibilities assigned to society, familial structures, and marriage professionals aimed at facilitating youth marriage within the envisioned context of 2040.
