The Ijebu Ode Customary Court Grade II has dissolved 79 marriages in the last two years.


The court’s President, Mrs. C.A Odeneyi, explained this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Ijebu Ode on Tuesday.


Odeniyi noted with concern the increasing rate of divorce in the ancient town saying that over 134 divorce cases were filed during the period under review.


The court president said the situation had become worrisome as more couples were still seeking divorce in the court.


Odeniyi said the rate at which couples sought divorce showed that they no longer had respect for marriage as an institution.


She identified immaturity and lack of love as some of the factors responsible for the breakdown of many marriages, saying that most couples rush into marriage without knowing what it entails.


Odeniyi added that most of the couples who came to court for divorce did not have their parents’ consent before going into such marriages.


“When a marriage is dissolved, children from such a union will not have access to proper parental care because their upbringing will be left for one of the parties and which is not good.”

Well he has a point about the children...but sometimes divorce is necessary in order for someone not to die. Then that would REALLY be the worst for the children. However, it is very sad how high the divorce rate is these days...well, this is end time and I expect nothing less.  Sad
