Marriage then was for the formation of one family with the intent of being of mutual benefit while marriage today is purely business.

2.Couples got to know each other properly not these indomie courtships.
3. Being a divorced woman carried so much stigma
4. People want to be married but don't want to be in a relationship
5. It's for and better mindsets that prevails the part about better or worse does not exist for some
6. There are benefits for an easier divorce processes in the instance of abusive relationships , marital discord, unfaithfulness etc but most don't want to try anymore. It's easier to walk away

Most olden days marriages would have collapsed today I will tell why some old people stayed in their marriages not because they enjoyed it but was to avoid societal stigma divorcees face, previous generations saw divorce as a taboo which made people stick to their marriages even when its no longer Worth it, but today things have change people put their happiness above everything else which old marriages didn't really do.

MissRaine69:
It's frowned upon BUT it's accepted albeit begrudgingly

THE WOMEN OF AFRICA WERE UNDER COMPLETE DICTATORSHIP.
WHERE THEY WERE MADE TO BELIEVE BY THEIR FAMILIES AND TRADITIONS, THAT BEING MARRIED EVEN AS THE 10TH WIFE WAS A PRIVILEGE, AND THE MERCY OF THE MEN.



NOTHING ELSE.

Missrain can u be friends with this my friend

So I've been pondering over this issue for a while, cause the increase cases of divorce these days is just to much to comprehend, last week when I traveled to the village, I asked my granddad the same question... He said when he was much younger, one early in the morning he heard a knock on his door, and when went to checked he saw two women outside his door, before he knew what was happening, one of the ladies handed the other woman to him, and said to him "from today this is your wife" and that's how he married my Grandma, and he said from that day, they never had a quarrel till she died!
I was kinda shocked tho, cause these days we don't let our parents choose for us anymore, we make the choices ourselves and yet the rate of divorce cases keeps increasing on a daily basis!

MissRaine69:
Which friend?

But from what my grandfather said, he said people enjoyed their marriages back then, Husbands and wives lived happily... Women were submissive to their husbands

LordKO:
The postulation that marriages of the yore lasted better than the one's of the new age is more of a fallacy than fact. What's a true fact is that an oppressed in the former class was likely to stay put, despite the oppression they suffered, because most of them, especially the women victims, had no better options of comfort. Imagine a woman whose father had about 5 wives and 70 children all living in a thatched 2 bedroom house. . . I mean, such a woman had rather remain with a man that mistreat her, in a one bedroom thatched house with 1 per day meal than to go back to her family. Many in the yore only endured not tolerated nor happy in their homes then, because they had no wherewithals to fall back on. Closeness doesn't automatically mean loyalty.

Women gradual emancipation is the reason why the new age marriage seems as it's worse than the ones of the yore. For instance, if an evil personified man hypocritically managed to trick a virtuous woman with career into marriage before unleashing his evil attitudes, such a womanwouldn't have justifiable reasons to stay put in such marriage because she's the wherewithal to cater for herself.

The easiest way to reduce world poverty to the bearest minimum is women empowerment which its end product is emancipation.
