Abstract

This study set out to explore social factors affecting women’s tendency to get divorced. The theoretical framework of this study is grounded in an integration of social theories of family & social deviations. A use was made of a questionnaire in this survey research. It was administered to a random sample of 353 respondents. Descriptive correlational data analysis yielded a negatively significant relationship between married life duration, brevity of engagement duration, the number of children and women’s tendency towards divorce. It was also revealed that there was a significant relationship between the stance of respondent’s family towards divorce, others’ interference, lack of consultation in life affairs, the suspicion of one of the mates and women's divorce tendency. Stepwise multiple regression analysis further indicated that brevity of engagement duration, others’ interference, the suspicion of one of the mates could predict 72% of the total variance of the dependent variance, that is, women’s divorce tendency.
