Summary/Abstract: The Covid-19 Pandemic, which broke out in China in December 2019 and has become a global epidemic in a short time, has caused many problems in the family lives of individuals. Although some families have been able to turn this period into an opportunity; the psychological, social and economic effects of the epidemic have increased the risk factors in the relationships of many married couples and these effects have resulted in overwhelming situations in terms of satisfaction in their relationship. The aim of this study is to find out the marital risk factors around the world and in Turkey during the Covid-19 pandemic and to search the divorce rates during this time. At the end of this study, which has been conducted with the method of a deep literature review, it has been found out that while divorce rates have increased in many countries because of the problems such as communication between couples, their expectations from each other, social and economic burdens; in Turkey divorce rates have decreased during the Covid-19 Pandemic. While this period has yielded some positive results within families that have stuck to each other with empathy and respect regarding psychological and communicative ways; it has been perceived as a stressful and detrimental period by those that have distanced themselves from their partners due to the challenges of this period or those with already existing problems. This perception has played an important role in increasing the disharmony between the couples as a result of their physical and psychological problems. Physical and psychological distress of individuals stemmed from the social isolation has caused them to go through a painful period that might be resulted in divorce.
