Social indicators and effects of marriage divorce in African societies

Abstract

This study involves a theoretical exposition of social indicators and effect of marriage divorce in African societies. In traditional African society, marriage divorce was seldom permitted and the rate of divorce was generally very low. But today, marriage divorce is a growing social ill in our societies. This is due to several factors, which include- childlessness, adultery, quarrelling, alcoholism, socialization and technological advancement, financial difficulties, immaturity, mixed marriage, adverse influence of inlaws, religious affiliation, and educational attainment. It results in crisis for family members and causes loss of an intimate relationship that also brought security and support. It also signifies a loss of hopes and dreams as well as feeling of failure. In view of the above discussions, it is recommended that couples should avoid and circumvent all the factors responsible for marriage divorce in order to have a happy and loving family.
