Data from the Department of Social Development in 2021 shows South Africa has seen a steady decline in traditional ‘nuclear’ families, with similar changes in divorce and marriage rates being seen over the last decade.
Together, the decrease in marriage and increase in divorce has led to a sustained decline in couple-headed households for some time in South Africa, according to the department.
Head of the family and divorce law department at Maurice Phillips Wisenberg Attorneys, Bertus Preller, provided the 10 most common reasons for divorce:The difference in priorities amongst married couples, which many men and women discuss and anticipate before their marriage, becomes a significant issue in the later stages of many marriages. If one spouse wants to start a family and the other does not, it may create immense conflict.
Differences in ideas on how to raise children properly cause rifts in marriages, contributing to the list of reasons for divorce. One parent often creates a rift between the other parent and the children by siding with the children and thereby forming two camps within the marriage. In most cases, sexual dissatisfaction in a partner usually results in divorce. The issue of sexual incompatibility varies significantly from case to case. If a spouse is not emotionally and physically fulfilled, they will look elsewhere.Marriage, family, and addiction certainly don’t mix well at all. Any form of addiction has a severe impact on a marriage relationship.
Adultery may be defined as extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations which renders the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship.Abusers can be either a husband or a wife, and it is a significant area of concern for many couples. Domestic violence and abuse occur among heterosexual couples, same-sex couples, and any people living together in the same household.
