Is a girl whose parents divorced and who lived without a father's affection, care, or security considered fatherless, even though he is alive and she is a young woman?

Orphanhood is a description applied to one who has lost their father before reaching maturity. It has no relation to the presence or absence of affection. Thus, a girl whose father is alive is not considered an orphan, even if she is deprived of his care and compassion.
