The rate of divorce cases in Kenya has been on the rise in recent times. According to a report from the Chief Kadhi’s court, women top the list of partners filing for a divorce by 99%. There are many reasons why women are filing for divorce every day. Here are five crucial reasons women are asking for divorce more than men:
MaintenanceMany women are opting for divorce as their husbands no longer care for them or their children. Many women don’t want to be in a relationship with a man who doesn’t care for them, who don’t provide food or any other needs. They ask for a divorce from such men to live their lives alone knowing they have no one to depend on but themselves.
To acquire wealthMany women want to get divorced so that they acquire a share of their husband’s wealth. Unfortunately, a bill has been passed where the division of wealth will be according to personal contributions in acquiring it between the husband and wife.
Lack of sexual satisfactionMany couples have unmatched sexual drives. This has always led to lack of sexual satisfaction in marriages. There are women who are asking for divorce due to lack of sexual satisfaction in their marriage.
New suitorA woman will file for a divorce when she has someone else she wants to be married to. She will divorce you to marry another man because of certain things she knows better. Many of them end up regretting divorcing their husband for another suitor.
InfidelityCheating in relationships has been the number one cause of relationship breakups and divorce. Women cannot tolerate a cheating husband. She will give him some warning and when he doesn’t listen, she will decide to divorce him.
