5 Reasons Why More African Women Are Opting For Divorce

1. They Are Financially Empowered

With many girls going to school, the multiplier effect has seen many women pursue their careers, earn their own cash, and plan for their future. No woman wants to be at the mercy of a guy fending for her and walking out on her anytime. The joint account no longer seems attractive as more women want the right to make their choices. Many women won’t even consider a divorce if they’ve got no income; it’s not practical to return to their fathers’ houses so they hold on as long as they’ve got a roof over their heads and meals on the table.

Their staying married doesn’t mean they’ve got a fantastic marriage. With more and more couples signing pre-nuptial agreements, each party feels they could walk away anytime. Money can buy anything but it won’t cuddle and caress you on a cold lonely night. You walk away from a marriage because you can take care of yourself, but you’ll soon find out your heart aches and still needs someone. Many ladies have a big house, many cars, and credit cards at their disposal, but their teary eyes hide behind designer sunglasses as they ache for a soulmate.
