According to statistics from the Civil Registration Organization, divorce is an increasing phenomenon; of course, in each country, it has specific causes and factors, and it is no secret to anyone how much people involved in it suffer from crisis. Due to the consequences of divorce for individuals in society and the subsequent creation of adverse social consequences, including harming the family institution, reducing it is one of the goals of policymakers, and to achieve this goal, it is necessary to produce theories that can properly organize the causes, factors, and solutions to reduce it in a scientific manner. One way to organize a scientific theory, even with a limited scope, is the grounded theory method.  Many researchers have tried to serve society in this way; but due to their unfamiliarity with the methodological framework of grounded theory, they have made fundamental errors in conducting research that have damaged the credibility of their research. Accordingly, the question of this research is what are the methodological indicators of the grounded theory method and how to fundamentally criticize research based on these indicators. The method of this research is also paradigmatic methodology, and in addition to extracting these indicators, we try to criticize a number of grounded theory articles on the topic of divorce based on these indicators and help them become more scientific.
