Definition

Fatherlessness refers to the condition in which a child or person does not have a father present—because the father has died, is unknown, is absent, or does not play an active role. It is often discussed in social and psychological contexts.

Fatherlessness वह स्थिति है जिसमें किसी बच्चे या व्यक्ति के जीवन में पिता मौजूद नहीं होता—क्योंकि पिता की मृत्यु हो गई हो, पिता अज्ञात हो, पिता अनुपस्थित हो, या पिता सक्रिय भूमिका न निभा रहा हो। इस शब्द का प्रयोग अक्सर सामाजिक और मनोवैज्ञानिक संदर्भों में किया जाता है।
