I live outside Africa. . . . I would like to state that there are absolutely none to VARIED! Since some pets or cars are more valued than children. CHECK✔️



Reason? Childlessness among MARRIED couples CAN BE STRICTLY A CHOICE!

Only in the minds of those who make having children a “desperate” situation will the “case” be termed a “condition”.

Like all “conditions“, it could be could be ACUTE or CHRONIC! With various levels of cures.

Talking of socio-cultural impacts? Depends on who you ask. One size does not fit all!

The most populous countries in the world suffer the greatest economic impact. The least populous countries have the greatest cultural impact.

Impacts could be negative or positive.

On an individual basis? All about personal choices! Abortion is also a form of birth control. CHECK✔️

Alero3Arubi:

That has a cure too.
1. Surrogacy.
2. Adoption.
3. IVF.

In this day and age, childlessness REMAINS A CHOICE! If you want BIOLOGY, you can get BIOLOGY!

Did you read my beginning post at all?
Please i think you need to go and reread it again to understand what i am researching on.

I read it and the title is misleading then. More like a QUESTION, than a research.
Even when there is ONE child, you still include the couple as “childless”?

What exactly is the purpose of your research. All research usually have a PURPOSE STATEMENT. I don’t see any. Just your own THEORY.

Where are your statistical data?

No research here o. You already have a conclusion.

I believe the OP wants people to state their experiences based on the criteria she laid out.
I do not think you quite understand her though.
She is on a research and those are her requirements and area of interest that she wants covered.
What would ypu have suggested to be the topic?

1. That's secondary infertility.
2. I want to find out the Socio-cultural factors that affect childless couples in Nigeria.

NO IMPACT. A STALEMATE!
Simply put: ONE MAN’S CURSE IS ANOTHER MAN’S BLESSING.

I work and live with all kinds of married people with mixed reviews on having children or not. At the end of it all. . . No difference.

These are the impacts you identified. Please explain how and why, so I can understand.

Your #1.
Marital Relationships.

In these 2 articles for example, childlessness is NOT a reason for marital strife. . . . . Only in places like NIGERIA AND CONTINENTS LIKE AFRICA. . . . . Where marriage is SOLELY for BREEDING PURPOSES.✔️

Your #2.
Religious and Spiritual Effects?

What religions are you using to illustrate this point? How? I can’t fathom. Please, explain.

Your #3.
Stigma.

From whom? From Where?

This should interest you.
Is this the kind of stigma you are referring to?

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2393-13-72

There is a tendency of society to blame the woman for failed conception [13]. Consequently, the accepted norm is that infertility in a couple stigmatises the wife as barren and the husband as sterile. In this manner the implication of sterility presents men with an opportunity to abandon barren wives and de-stigmatise themselves by opting out of childless marriages.

Participants’ in a study conducted in Cape Town indicated that they had to deal with being called Idlolo, meaning barren and stjoekoe (failure) [5]. Traditional customs, such as having to wear a scarf until a woman has a child also contributes to more pressure on women who suffer from infertility.

In a study in South Africa, women expressed that they felt especially stigmatized and ridiculed in their families and in their communities. Participants’ described how they were sworn at, shouted at, cursed and victimized, seeing themselves as outcast, especially within their husbands’ families.

https://academic.oup.com/socpro/article-abstract/33/4/268/1644853?redirectedFrom=fulltext

I conclude that, although physically infertile women feel more stigmatized, physically fertile women manage information more actively to protect their husbands from the stigma associated with sexual dysfunction.

Your #4.
Identity, social construction and meaning.

Like I started earlier, depends on who you ask. It is all here:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/oct/02/the-desire-to-have-a-child-never-goes-away-how-the-involuntarily-childless-are-forming-a-new-movement



It’s noticeable, in the comments section of Day’s blog, how often it’s mothers, not fathers or other childless women, who most frequently cause upset or offence among people who have not been able to have children.

“Surely a mother is more than someone who has children? And I’m more than someone who doesn’t.”

Well you fall outside my research area so thanks for your interest.

I do not quite understand what you mean.

@kanwuliaextra I AM LOOKING FOR FOCUS INTERVIEWS NOT PUBLISHED RECORDS.
I have done my research but now i am stuck with interviews and questionnaire generation. Because of the current pandemic restrictioms, it is difficult to carry it out so i am stuck with seeking for it online.

Shey Na “research” you want?

You want “focused” interviews from NLanders?
Where do you expect to get these interviews from?

There are already sooooo many topics online about this. Just trying to share them:

Ok. Let us wait for the “focused interviews” on NL.

Good luck!

Alero3Arubi:

I do not quite understand what you mean.

The option 2 you listed above is the socio-cultural effect to the 11 miscarrages by a known woman. Hope you got this?
