Through purposive sampling, 15 separated/divorced participants (nine male, six female) were analyzed via semi-structured interviews and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) using Atlas.ti 23 software. Analysis derived one group experiential theme: Judicial Process and Law Enforcement, with four sub-themes: The Contradictory Positions of the Court, Nonchalance toward False Accusations, Encounter with Legal Professionals, and Two Sides of Law Enforcement. Participants revealed conflicting experiences, with few achieving justice while others faced substantial delays. Male participants often encountered allegations without evidence. Regardless of gender, feelings of distress and helplessness were prevalent due to court procedures. The findings highlight the urgent need for reforms like procedural transparency to mitigate the trauma of divorce in India and emphasize a gap in existing literature on judicial effects in separation cases. Recommendations for future research are suggested. 2025 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
