The statistical population of the research includes all the families residing in the city of Tehran and the sampling methodology is two-stage random and cluster sampling method. The theoretical framework of the research is a combination of the theory of structural functionalism and the theory of globalization of Anthony Giddens in the family domain. The methodology of the research is survey methodology and the data are gathered by researchermade questionnaire. The results illustrate that the variables of ‘the discipline within family’ with -0.698, ‘the hierarchy of power in family’ with 0.631, and ‘the social capital in family’ with 0.563, have the most meaningful relationship with the amount of emotional divorce. Also the regression results of the research show that the independent variables of the research explain almost 0.665 of the variance and changes of emotional divorce.

In this qualitative study, thematic analysis was used to explore the experiences of 13 homeless women. The results showed that all participants were substance abusers, most commonly with methamphetamine. Consistent themes emerged from the data: (a) women’s understanding, feelings and actions regarding unplanned pregnancy, (b) violence in public places, (c) social rejection, (d) maintaining femininity through maternal roles within hegemonic masculinity, (e) social exclusion, and (f) addiction as an aggravation of homelessness. In conclusion, we encourage social welfare policy and policy makers to focus on street outreach.
