Whatever happened to the institution of marriage?

What you need to know:

In Dar es Salaam alone, at least 360 marriages are cracking up into smithereens each month – an average of 12 per day
In 2017 there were approximately 1.9 million marriages and 0.8 million divorces in the European Union

Horror. We say horror because this is a phenomenon unseen before in African communities. Family-wise, Africans are still regarded as the most “normal” humans on the planet. Even the outrageous sexual madness going on around the “developed” world (e.g. males taking hormones to become females and vice-versa) is hotly and fervently frowned upon on the continent. Marital collapses are regarded as standard on rich societies’ menus. Stats in Europe indicate that divorce rates have been climbing since the 1960s and 1970s after the dawn and birth of Family Laws and the powerful and uncomfortable Women Lib movement. One internet source confessed: “In 2017 there were approximately 1.9 million marriages and 0.8 million divorces in the European Union. The former might be higher over the years, while divorce rates have more than doubled.”
