<![CDATA[The high divorce rate in Sambas Regency in 2025 represents a complex socio-juridical phenomenon that requires a comprehensive study based on empirical data. Divorce is no longer understood as a mere individual event, but rather as a reflection of social, economic dynamics, and changing values in society. This study aims to reconstruct the factors causing divorce through an integrative approach that combines legal, social, and religious perspectives based on data from the Sambas Religious Court. The method used is a socio-legal study with a qualitative approach, using primary data in the form of interviews and secondary data in the form of divorce case statistics in 2025. The results show that the dominant factors causing divorce include ongoing disputes and arguments, household economic pressures, infidelity, adultery and changes in social values due to the influence of modernization and digitalization. These factors do not stand alone, but interact complexly to trigger household disintegration. The novelty of this study lies in the use of an integrative approach based on judicial data that allows for the identification of patterns of relationships between factors in a more systematic and contextual manner. The conclusion of this study formulates a conceptual model that states that divorce in Sambas in 2025 is the result of a multidimensional interaction between structural and cultural factors, with dysfunctional family communication predominating, exacerbated by economic pressures and transformations in social values. This model is expected to serve as a basis for formulating more effective preventive strategies and policy interventions to reduce the divorce rate.]]>
