CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Marriage is
part of our daily lives through marriage new rights, roles and new social
relationship are formed only between the spouses and also between the kinsmen
of the spouses. Marriage is the relationship between a man and woman to become
husband and wife. It is also a social institution through which the family is
established. (Oxford advanced learners dictionary).
Married
couples are expected to live together until one or both of them die, but there
are instances where couples live separately not because their partner were
transferred by work to other region different from theirs or due to natural
crises but due to misunderstanding. They separate legally in the court of law
and the process is known as “Divorce”.
Divorce is a
legal termination of valid marriage if a marriage is not valid when contacted,
there cannot be a divorce because there was not really a marriage (Amato et.
al., 1995). Marital unhappiness is only a result of the various factors that
predispense marital instability. Marital conflict is inevitable in any society
as long as husband and wife are different individuals and their actions are
important to each others with such view, divorce is a mechanism for cheating
with the pressure and problem inevitably caused by marriage because without
marriage there would be no divorce.
Divorce or
marriage failure is evident in a case whereby only one partner is responsible
for the upbringing of child/children produced in a marital union. This result
in dysfunctional development for the child/ children because the
responsibilities which are to be shared between two people is shouldered by one
to be shared between the people is shouldered by one person and the roles meant
to be played by two is taken over by such person, this involves the child’s
upbringing to be balanced.
Marriage
failure otherwise known as divorce is one of the major problems common in our
contemporary Nigeria setting. The rate at which marriage are reported to have
failure is so high that two out of six marriages are reported to have failure
in recent times. (The Punch May 5 2004).
Many factors
have been highlighted to be responsible for this societal menace, one of such
factor is early marriage some people marry without being mature, this make them
lack the basic understanding needed to live with each other successfully, this
always results to breakdown and collapse of the marriage.
Divorce or
marriage failure has diverse effects on the child, the effect of parental
divorce upon children depend on factors like the age of the child, the
financial background of the family and so on. The age of the child is affected by divorce when the child is
still very young or at adolescence.
Adolescence
is a transitory period between childhoods. During this period an individual is
seen neither as a child nor as an adult. Hall (1999) claimed that adolescent
are characterized by emotional instabilities and hyper activities which cause
them to experiences storm or challenges during growth stage.
Probably one
of the most frequently asked question over the last two decades about family
life has been is divorce harmful to children. Although this may seem like a
very important question, I would suggest that it is time to examine a more
important question which is what are the factors is divorced families that
contribute to children having difficulties and what are the factors that
foster children adaptation?

is so much discussion on divorce and its effect on children, the research work
is directed at teachers to get their
ideas on the effect of divorce on the academic performance of the child.
