Abstract

Ideally, marriage ought to be a happy institution every intending couple look up to but marriage cannot always be rosy (Ifelumi and Asogua: 1995). Available literatures and experiences point to various cases of divorce. From sociological point of view, divorce refers to the legal termination of a marriage. Divorce is a final termination of a marital union, cancelling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony. Historical evidences have shown that divorce rates are on increase today more than in the past, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. In Nigeria, there is increase in the divorce rate over the years and its effects in the families and society cannot be over emphasized. Thus, the need for solutions to divorce in Nigeria. Divorce is serious social problem in Nigeria. Marriage is increasingly viewed as a relationship rather than a contract. By getting married, people do not see themselves as entering a binding life long contract rather they are hoping to establish a personally satisfying relationship. As divorce rate rises, divorce is normalized in the society which should not be the case in our contemporary society. Thus, this work aims at providing adequate solutions to the problem of divorce in Nigeria. The work among other things covers introduction, theoretical framework, causes of divorce, consequences and solutions to divorce and ends in conclusive remarks.
