Experts' reasons for couples divorcing
Nigerian experts have identified infidelity, cultural strains, financial challenges, and limited courtship as some of the reasons for divorce.
A Nigerian lawyer, Bukola Ajayi said that 95% of people wanting divorce cited unfaithfulness as a reason for wanting to end things with their partners, Punch reports.
According to the Helpline Foundation for the Needy, cultural stigma can also put a strain on a marriage as '75 per cent of divorce in marriages can be attributed to culture and tradition'.
This issue becomes more intense when they are gender-related.
Justice AbdulQadir Umar, a senior judge at the Area Court in Ilorin, noted that poverty is a big reason for divorce. He said that lack of money could make people misbehave, Pulse reports.
