ABSTRACT
The study sought to find out “Perceived Causes and Remedies of Divorce among Married Couples in Kano Metropolis”. Population for this study consists of some selected married couples within the Kano metropolis. The population of the study mainly couples still in marriage were selected in the area totalling 1195. Eleven (11) quarters were selected from each of the three (3) local government areas of Kano metropolis through cluster sampling. To maintain justice from the target population of married couple, 20% each cohort was selected using simple random sampling technique. This is in line with Cruises (2001) who observed that the sample of any given research can be ten percent (10%) or 20% of the population. The total sample was therefore two hundred and thirty nine. A structured questionnaire tagged Couples Perceived Causes and Remedies of Divorce Questionnaire (CPCRDQ) designed by the researcher was used for study. The researcher adaptedmaterials fromOnwuosanya (2009). The descriptive statistics of frequency count and percentage was used to analyse and interpret the results of the research questions while Null hypothesis 1 and 4 were tested using the Mann-Whitney test statistics to determine presence or presence of significant differences between male and female respondents. While null hypotheses 2, 3, 5 and 6 were tested using the chi- square. All hypotheses are tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. It was found that the couples differ in their perception of the causes of divorce (z = 4.22, p = 0.00); The married males differ in their perception of the causes of divorce (X2 = 157.036, p = 0.001 ); The married females differ in their perception of the causes of divorce (X2 = 101.022, p =0.001) ; The couples differ in their perception of the remedies of divorce (z = 4.86, p = 0.00); The married males differ in their perception of the remedies for divorce (X2 = 59.210, p = 0.003); and The married females differ in their perception on remedies for divorce (X2 = 94.714 p = 0.002). recommendations includes there is an obvious need for pre-marital counselling for young men and women in our society to prepare their minds adequately for marriage and the counsellors should utilize the mass media such as television in the creation of awareness.
