This study investigates the lived experiences of individuals with children from a previous marriage as they navigate remarriage in a collectivist cultural context.
Conducted interpretative phenomenological analysis based on 24 semi-structured interviews with eight remarried adults in Türkiye, aged 30 to 50.
Participants were all married for 5 years or less and had at least one child from a previous marriage.
Identified five themes: remarriage process, coping strategies, spousal dynamics, relationships with ex-spouses, and social judgments.
Participants viewed remarriage as an emotionally complex transition that required managing past and present familial ties and social acceptance.
Women often faced stigma and scrutiny while men reported pressure to restore family stability.
