Why there are many broken marriages – Ona of Abaji

He said lack of proper handling of the home front by some married women sometimes led to divorce. He said some parents have also failed in training their daughters properly.

“Honestly, I feel ashamed that some of our women don’t even know how to cook and take care of the home front, this has led to reported cases of divorce. And the parents should be the ones to blame because they failed to spare their time to give their daughters proper training,” he said.

He also expressed displeasure over the misuse of the hijab by some women, saying it was unfortunate that some women wore the hijab to perpetrate crime.

He also expressed concern over dating for several years without marriage, which he attributed to expensive lifestyle of women.

“Sometimes when I ask ‘why have you not married’, the response always upsets me and I want to call on parents to sit down with their daughters on how to make marriage easy spouses,” he said.

The traditional ruler called on parents to always ensure they send their children to acquire both Islamic and western education, saying no society would develop without education.

He also urged them to be security conscious and watch the movement of their children, saying the council has witnessed five kidnap cases of recent. He further urged them to pray for the government to overcome security challenges in the country.
