Abstract
This book highlights the dynamics and conflicts of Syrian families within the German asylum context, examining the interplay of cultural, social, economic, and legal factors shaping familial relationships. Using anthropological methods such as participant observation, interviews, and focus groups, the book analyzes the challenges faced by Syrian families before, during, and after displacement. It focuses on marital conflicts influenced by gender roles, economic changes, cultural and religious differences, and the legal frameworks in Germany. Finally, it explores conflict resolution strategies within the new social and legal environment. This book provides readers with a profound understanding of the challenges and adaptations of Syrian families in the asylum context.
