Abstract: This research study explores the far-reaching consequences of broken families, emphasizing their impact on children's emotional, social, and psychological development. The study aims to identify the contributing factors to family breakdowns, assess their social repercussions, and evaluate the effects on children's well-being. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative data gathered from surveys and interviews with affected individuals. Key findings reveal that children from broken families are more prone to mental health issues, lower academic performance, and difficulties in social relationships. The analysis highlights that the challenges faced by these children often stem from factors such as marital conflicts, economic strain, and domestic violence. The research underscores the need for comprehensive support mechanisms to mitigate these adverse effects. In conclusion, this study contributes to the understanding of the complex dynamics surrounding broken families and their implications for child welfare. By shedding light on the specific challenges faced by children in these situations, the research provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and social workers, ultimately fostering the development of effective intervention strategies KEYWORDS: Broken Families, Consequences, Children's Well-Being, Social Repercussions, Support Mechanisms
