When can an African Woman divorce her husband - is a question with some shocking answers for any women fighting for liberation of their sex. We hit the streets of Lagos, Nigeria to ask African women when is would be acceptable to divorce their husband:
"Never! She should not divorce at any cost!" says one woman. "Divorce is not the solution to any marital problem."
"Only when the husband is really beating the wife, not when she catches him with another lady.... because every man does it."
Adeola explains how infidelity is accepted amongst women in Nigeria - our Naija Gist today follows another story we did - "Are Nigerian's Faithful" - where all women explained that men are not faithful but they could do nothing about it. You can watch the video here:
• Are Nigerians Faithful?
And most of the Nigerian women we ask explain how it is not acceptable to divorce their husband. The reasons are plentiful but mostly involve religion, wedding vows and also the fact that often children are involved.
"I do not think a woman should divorce her husband," says one woman defiantly. "Because the bible is against it."
"Never... if he is beating her, she can just stay away for a while, until they get the cause of the beatings sorted."
The big question is whether this should be an acceptable state of affairs for an African woman when their counterparts in many other parts of the world are able to sue for divorce. Many advocates of Feminism see many challenges in Africa where women are still regarded as subordinate to men in family, business and social settings.
Stay tuned - we will be asking the men shortly - when is it acceptable to divorce your African woman... to compare women's rights in Africa with the mens...

moral of this video: Nigerian women will accept anything including cheating, beating you name it bc apparently they made a vow but only one party is taking it seriously.
Mel Jama which is ridiculous
Noo!!
A husband is everything to a Nigerian woman, much more than their children.
No, in this interview, they mention their children. divorce hurt children more than the adults.
When he is physically and mentally abusive and marries another woman because she cannot have a baby boy. My mom left this situation in the early 80s, best decision of her life. This made us, my Mother's daughters demand better for ourselves in our marriages. Thanks Mom !!!
i dont understand why we women sacrifice so much. So you are not allowed to be happy? You just have to accept it? Why would you stand by a cheating and beating husband? So God put you on this earth to suffer like that? So when your husband dies you still will be sad and miserable while he lived his life in full force? There are so much men on this earth why settle for someone who doesn't care? And then you wanna play the blame game yeah but the children... So when your man cheats you gonna resent your children later? You are going to blame it on them? What do you expect of your children later in return? Its not fair. I feel bad for these women. Sacrificing themselves for no reason. This has nothing to do with religion. Self worth is the key here! You are more than the poor treatment your husband is giving you. Life is to short to be sacrificing yourself like this. Honestly I come from a divorced household and I cant be happier. At least my parents both have a chance to live their lives in piece and they both can be happy now. Instead of resenting each other later. Sometimes I feel like Africa is going backwards instead of going forwards. Don't let a mistake dictate your life. A beating and cheating husband is not love and that's not the way God intended for marriage to be. Stop sacrificing for men. Live your life for you. F what your family and friends say because when things go left you will be left with the mess and bs. When they die you will still be here! Xoxo from woman that escaped an abusive relationship. Stop sacrificing and start living!
Exactly!!
Nice interview but the responses are truly shocking! People clearly embracing violence and abuse in relationships....wow!
NigerianFoodChannel ikr!!
I really have my mouth open right now. Truly shocked.
The day any man beats you, you need to leave because it always starts with beating and that can result in him killing you. I beg RUN far away from an abusive man. A husband is there to compliment your life not complicate or complete it.
Everybody is so quick to quote the bible, but the husband is called to love his wife as Christ loved the church. Love will not cheat on you and beat you. There needs to be wisdom/sense used in quoting the bible. I'm saddened and shocked by the responses.
WOW!!!! These women would rather remain a victim and become a statistic rather than save their own lives. And please don't use the children as an excuse. That would be one of my main reasons for leaving. I think some women just want to be able to say they are married even though they are living in pure hell... I'll live life on my on before I allow a man to treat me like garbage.
hey 🤗 +Kathy Brown very interesting (and brave!) point... but many women in Nigeria will put up with their men wahala... did you see our video on "Can a Nigerian Man rape his wife?" --> ruclips.net/video/I-UnHpkc6UQ/видео.html we think you might find the answers interesting...
You guys really think that all African men abuse their women like westerners? They take care of their families
Wow! The women's opinions are very depressing. Watching my mother endure my father's philandering and physical abuse made me decide not to follow my mother's footsteps. When will my fellow Nigerian women realize that love should not hurt at all?
One of the annoying thing about the answers is that the women think that watching your mum get abused, beating and cheated on is less traumatic than divorce on a child. Ahhhbegggg.
Do you have any proof that you are right and they are wrong? Are you right just because the white man thinks like that? If the white man eats shit will you eat shit?
Not really. Thee are the signpost arguments (false as they are) that western societies have adopted and this is why they have over 50 percent of their marriages failing.
Kent Academic Exchange
So women should sit and smile while their husbands cheat and beat them? That's what it takes to keep a stave marriage?
Kent Academic Exchange what will do if your own wife cheats and beats you? Let's start from there first.
Its sad to see these women saying that they will accept if and when their husbands cheat or abuse them; as a nation we will cease to produce strong and inspirational women if they continue to allow this in their marriages all in the name of religion.
Religion has nothing to do with ignorance. Leave the bible out of this cause if a man is beating on you and cheating on you all the time then its time to go (HIV/ AIDS is no joke). I you have use all resources that you have at your disposal and the man continues to do so then you have all right to leave but to just sit in a marriage where the man continue to abuse you is not good for you or the children.
Khaleesi Daenerys they are so stupid, am so pissed seeing this.
I love their accents, as a spanish speaker, I understand nigerians better because they speak with pauses :)
Ru serious!! Is that all!
EXACTLY!!!! "I can do whatever I want because she won't go anywhere"...that's the way of the land!
As a man i use restraint but if I did stray I know my woman would forgive maybe (once) although I know she would remind me about it FOREVER. Could never beat my woman if she provokes me I can always restrain her.
wow so sad!
this is why std/disease is so spread in africa. I love myself more before any man!
Kojo Afoo
how do i know it?i know more than youe ver will. I workedi n across africa for over 3 years for 2 different medical units that served to give healthcare that is how i know!
so you need to read a book.
african women hiv/aids rates are off the charts in comparison to the usa. it is from their hUSBANDS who transmit it!
Kojo Afoo no you "so dumb" because your english is horrible LOL.
DO YOU HAVE MD BEHIND YOUR NAME? i doubt it. I dont care where you lived...and no we didnt just work in the hospital but in the community. so shut up.learn some english and get a medical degree and some education..i see patients you dont!
keep being a troll on the internet..i love to waste time talking to ignorant, illiterate men like YOU!
have any statistics to prove me wrong? you dont! cos im right!so save your time ! like i said! highest hiv rates before usa and brasil
lol..what is your business?? selling rotten fish in a market place? the only bitch or slave is your poor woman..a self employed person with no medical experience cant tell me shit
learning problems like your can be another reason why the hiv/aids is so rampant there.
so where did YOU go to medical school? ill wait! for your "expert opinion" LOL!
KEEP TROLLIIN
yawn.....
everyone knows africa as a country mainly the west and south have the highest hiv/aids rates in the world. you have internet look it up. I WORKED THERE IN MEDICAL CARE.
YOU DIDNT...matter of fact you can clearly google me and see where i received my medical education.
learn english. and your lame jokes and calling women bitches becos you have no experience in wha tyou are talking about.
clearly you are the bitch not me. HOW many patients have you taken care of ? im licensed are you?
www.unicef.org/esaro/5482_HIV_AIDS.html
read if you can in english.
keep trolling...keep bitching away...while we continue to distribute azt and retrovirals in your country because a main cause of hiv in africa is due to unprotected sex among migrant men who travel and then bring back the disease to their unsuspecting wives. this is the main culprit in africa. for nearly every 10 patients i evaluated atleast 4 out of 10 had the diagnosis. This was not in a hospital either.
so again where did you get your medical education? You can view my stats online. google me and my medical education will come up.
thanks!!!!
medically educated american citizen.
Unfortunately, this believe has been pass down from generation to generations of women. Until someone breaks the circle this is the kind of thinking you will have.
I feel sorry for this women biko respect yourselves as human beings.
yessssss I AGREE WITH YOU 100%, i blame women that have accepted this nonsense as the norm, they r the ones giving men the courage to do nonsense.I double dare my husband to raise his hand at me heey God prison will become your new house hold and if you cheat you are gone immediately #GBAM
nollyA wood yes ooo
nollyA wood of course!!
Its all about our culture and religious views. no family or marriage is perfect. for instance a man could be unfaithful with his mind. Thinking it is just as bad as doing. A man could also be verbally abusive he doesn't necessarily have to raise his hand. Would you leave your husband? why marry him make promises to him before God and then Give up? We don't like broken homes. broken families raising broken children... commitment,united,family forgiveness. faith . for better or for worse i'll love my husband unconditionally. people forget that a wise woman wouldn't settle for less to begin with... this is why freely dating without a center goal is not allowed in an African household. parents advise their kids to bring forth possible life long partners not just anyone
I pray no one have such experience, because it is easier to say i cannot or i will not divorce him but takes more grace beyond moral maturity to stay in the marriage when your spouse hates you. Oh Lord have mercy, humanly speaking it is not easy, vows or no vows, it takes God's grace. Stay blessed.
If a man cheated on me the relationship whether dating or married would be over because he broke his vows. If a man hit me then I would call back up and it would be fight. I don't play that hitting women stuff and the relationship would be over.
If I had children then the divorce may affect them but if they saw my husband cheating on me or hitting me the affect on them would be a lot worse.
hey +Jackqueline thanks for your comment.
This shouldn't be titled When "African"women divorce
I so agree with you indeed" Run for your live, so as the remain alive and helthy to take care of the children". At the end of the day, they will bare the brunt of the consequences.
I'm a Nigerian woman, and I dare any man to cheat or raise his hand in my direction. He'll wish for death by the time I'm done with him. The fact that this has become a societal norm is ridiculous and absolutely primitive. For all the women in the video using the bible as the basis for their illogical faith, I suppose they forgot the part where it says that one shall not comitte adultery or the part where it says to respect your wife. I must have the wrong definition for repect then.
marsellies thank you. cause I was starting to think that it was OK for women here wth oh no ever!!!
Did she say rat poison????? So its better to kill husband than divorce?????? Desperate women... Women should respect themselvea, if they wint-men also wont! And in Bible there is no wird that men should cheat and beat wives - its said men should love their wives like their own flesh!
i may be young but even i know that this is not okay, i have been through hell in my life. i have had men use me and that is NOT okay, if i get marred, i will in NO WAY stay with a man who would cheat on me or beat me in any way. it has taken me YEARS to gain self respect and i will not loss it to some guy who thinks he as a right to treat me like i belong to him. you lay a hand on me or my children or if you even threaten to lay a hand me or my children i WILL walk and i WELL walk for good.
I could live with the cheating...........probably because I don't want all the hassle of leaving and trying to find another companion but the day you lay your hand on me, you'll know why god gave me 4 hefty brothers and no sister.
Ladies there's No Marriage if a person beating you and sleeping around. You can stay and let your children watch you being beaten, and of course just pick out some Funeral clothes you want your children to wear at YOUR funeral.
hey +Sarah ... we think often it would be the same response - but the real point, in Nigeria, is there is NO marriage without children... no children is grounds for divorce in Nigeria ...
STRONG AFRICAN/NIGERIAN WOMEN, l salute you all thoroughly there is no perfection in marriage, l salute you all, May GOD give us wisdom and love to continue to take care and understand you beautiful AFRICAN WOMEN BETTER, thank you all for being a WIFE, MOTHER, SISTER, FRIEND, AND A TESTED AND TRUE CAMPANION, l salute you all again, GOD BLESS NIGERIA, GOD BLESS AFRICA.
And God Bless BattaBox 👏
Adeola, I had to laugh at your reaction to the infuriating, depressing opinions of the woman on the street, when they said that they would stay even though their husband is a wife beater and a cheat. I think it emboldens the men to behave that way, when they get tempted to do those things, if they know that the wife will take it. I thank God for the Nigerian Barrister Emeka. He's fighting these domestic problems in court for the women's sake.
I can't understand that kind of mentality.. They say the children is involved by not thinking how the kids will feel by seeing their mum getting beaten or cheated.. I deserve to be happy as woman but first of all as a human being . That's just some crazy shit..
Oh hell no! Not in this lifetime! Women should never ever accept abuse. What if the woman was the abuser and cheater? Would a Nigerian man stay or divorce his wife?
Women need to value themselves more! And you would be teaching your sons and daughters that abuse is acceptable when you stay in the marriage. The cycle will continue with your children if you stay in a dysfunctional marriage.

I do not want to divorce my husband in the future (neither do most woman). But in the case of beatings and adultery, is it not right. The women that are saying under no circumstance should they divorce are just being idiotic, I am sure they have never been beaten to a pulp or been cheated on constantly, if they had they would change their tune. I am not married, but hope to be one day but I do not plan on being my future husbands punchbag nor being constantly cheated on.
THANK YOU BATTABOX FOR THIS VIDEO...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND HELP BREAK THIS CYCLE OF BRAINWASHING AND ABUSE.

wow That beautiful girl was doing so bad until she stated talking about rat poison, then she became pure evil! smh how sad! How can one hate themselves so bad that they are willing to get beat up and be put at risk of contracting disease from a cheating partner! That "until death do us part" is crap, it also says " to love and to cherish". If a man love and cherishes you they wont cheat or abuse ya! I'm Sorry but I love myself enough!
you see all those new cars in the background, and they say things are bad in Nigeria
hey +Osas ! we will be asking men in a separate video coming up... but this is in response to our other video "Are Nigerians Faithful?" (you can find it on our RUclips channel joh!) when all the men said they would leave their partner if they cheated... and all the women said they would just do small shakara - so we wanted to explore the subject further with just the women.
Battabox, your journalist is great. Love her views, giving me hope that chang in Nigeria is possible
if my man was cheating on me wont divorce because adultery is a punishment that God will take care of it in hell. i wont leave you but i will make u suffer in earth as well. but if u are beating me then i will have to go because now my life is physically in danger and im better than that.
chichi emenike it Is only adultery when you divorce and marry someone else
Divorce is not Good.Marriage is Forever but not with standing that cheating and beating up women are not ok.
MANY MEN AROUND THE WORLD ARE DYING TO FIND WOMEN WITH THIS TYPE OF STRONG BELIEVE IN THE FAMILY UNITY AND IDEAS OF MARRIAGE. PERHAPS THIS TRADITIONAL AND RELIGIOUS VIEW OF MARRIAGE IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE LESS SINGLE PARENTS IN AFRICA COMPARED TO EUROPE OR AMERICA. AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO, I'M OFF TO FIND ME AN AFRICAN QUEEN
thanks o +Victoria!! change is definitely possible - just look at the success of BattaBox :-D
Lmaoo at divorce 'his' husband.
lmao
Change the frames of mind. Take men off of that nonsensical pedestal and actually function in partnership mode. People aren't ready to adjust their mentalities and until that happens..Nigeria will continue to see more of the same. You can't ask for change and use the same methods you've been using.
Also, having two parents around doesn't necessarily mean the child will have a worry free life either (in fact the child of parents who fight a lot might be more worried that his/her parents might kill each other than that from a single parent family where there usually is more peace) so I think that parenting is more important than making sure the two parents are around.
well,i don't believe in divorce either.Every problem has a solution if we can trace the root.So ask yourself,was he like this when i married him?if the answer is no,then something must have changed him.Remember,in any divorce,it is the children that suffers.I believe 99.9% of marital problems can be solved without divorce.PLEASE STOP PREACHING DIVORCE!!!
hey +cuty, that is a very sad story... so many people don't want to go for HIV text in Nigeria but they should feel empowered if they do... especially against cheating spouses...
agreed.. tolerating these behaviors leaves no room whatsoever for the man to change cuz he knows that he can keep doing all the things he's doing and the wife will always be there .. I HATE DIVORCE with all my heart .. especially since these days people get divorced for the stupidest reasons but i'll rather leave and pray for him to change and b separated than take the blow on my selfworth/esteem by staying and hoping for things to get better.. if things don't change tho, life goes on!
It is our culture. When you got married you made a VOW before God and man that you will remain faithful to that person and stick with them for better for worse. A VOW or an oath is something we Africans don't play with, family and our kids is another, our reputation and our dignity is yet another.... That is why our marriages work, that is why our families last. That is why we can trace our lineage back to generations. Our men may fall a few but MOST of our married men are NOT promiscuous, just a few are. They eventually might return to their senses, but our women do stand by their men. Go stronger sons and daughters of Africa, never forget your roots, never forget the culture that made you who you are. Nations and countries, huge societies and large communities might and have thrown their morals and dignity away, they will and have tried to lure you into their path but do not give way to their seduction because you are true. Stay strong and show them how it's done, the generations after them will be confused because will not know the worth of life or what a deep culture means; they will look up to you to show them the way. Be strong mama Africa, your virtues and values and principles are true. . .
Most of married Men are not promiscuos? Which planet do you live in?
Gibbs Jakatiga I live in a planet that is Not kenya
Briste Belle Surely not not for people out of touch with reality.
Bye sir
A man who cheats once will cheat again. Not all women will tell you that their husbands beats and cheats on them, so your assumption may be further off than you think. If a woman did the same she'd get called a billion names, not just by her husband but by the rest of society as well. Sometimes you have to question culture if it isn't right. What's next, will you sit there and watch him rape your daughter simply because it's "part of a culture?"
This makes me so sad. It is horrible for children to watch daddy beat mommy. Children repeat what they see and this is how you end up with multi generational abuse issues. It is not better to stay with the children and just continue to get beat. You are doing grave damage to the next generation in teaching them that beating is normal and ok. It isn't.
This video is filled with ignorant women. A man should not hit his wife, we are brought to the word to protect our we once lived in a world where women saw their men as conquerors, providers, heroes . A woman should not stick by a man who beats her. If the same man saw his mother or sister being beaten will he accept it? I feel women use religion such as Chrisitainity to save themselves mentally. Actions like this are what ruin our race, being a nigerian I have to say the people are nieve we have our own religion as a black race in which our ansestors grew to know before alot of other religions came forth.
And yet our ancestors never practiced divorce! It's cultural not religious.
Emmanuel Adebiyi Just trying to understand your last sentence. If our ancestors had their own religion then why didn't they divorce? Culture is what shapes a society's translation of religion. The same reason why America calls itself a Christian nation and yet very lax in principle. You made a great point then turned around to refute it.
dancenijas Actually when i think divorce is of both culture and religion . the Code of Hammurabi, the oldest known written compilation of laws. Believed to have been recorded around the year 1760 B.C. in Babylon it then moved onto Acient history,Greco-Roman History, Medieval Period Henry the VIII, Divorce in England and American Divorce. These laws have been embedded into both religion and laws and cultures which has change society as a whole.
Religion is a set of ethics that follows the message of god or a spiritual head and its biblical teaching which isn't referenced to fact. Religion is an identity of people believing and following practices which control their way of thinking and living of live. Whereas culture is something that is common to all people belonging to a nation or a state irrespective of their language or community
Like myself i'm cultural and a moralist but not religious. I don't want to be controled.
In reference to America, i'm not American but i can tell you majority of Americans (73%) identify themselves as Christians and about 20% have no religious affiliation so that is correct, but we are not talking about America are we .As a nation our religion was tanished after Slavery and Colonialism phenomena be the root causes of Nigeria’s underdevelopment today.
Emmanuel Adebiyi Lol why are you pulling up loong encyclopedia-type definitions that have no correlation? Please what exactly are you trying to say? As I said before, your last sentence refutes your entire argument. If the African religion was "tarnished after slavery and colonialism"(as in Christianity was largely adopted right?), then what was it originally, and how has Christianity changed it in terms of divorce?
In Nigeria each tribe believed in their own gods and prayed to them for specific things
Shango- God of thunder
Bumba- God of vomit
Elegua - God of beginnings and opportunities
Obatala- Creator of humans
I could go on….
In terms of divorce on christians i won't answer as this will cause contrversy on the net for my own opinion and its a touchy subject
hey +picassomicasso1 ... the problem is when the institution breaks down and becomes very one-sided sha... if you check out some of our other gist on our BattaBox RUclips channel - Nigerian men will leave if their wives cheat...
If they were asking men this..they would all agree to divorce.
These women rather die in marriage. Let them
Contrary to belief if a woman stands up and says No things may be better a friend once asked me. " between being a bitch(saying no to injustices against you as a woman) & being a doormat(take on all forms of sh*t) which would you rather be?" That's a woman's Choice
sometimes i think some of these woman have no self-respect or maybe they have low self esteem. If you value yourself, why would you let anyone disrespect you?
Then again, they rush into marriage, for the status of it or the pressures of society.
if you have a real man, he should treat you like a queen...and if he doesn't, bye felicia
Umm...where is this woman's journalistic objectivity?
Please ask oh! Lol.
Batta Box is correct. Children solidify a marriage, because culturally marriage is between two lineages and not individuals. So cultural grounds for divorce could be impotence, lack of procreation, financial hardship, etc. These can also be reasons why infidelity may occur versus ending a marriage. Moreover, Westernization, urbanizationand Christian indoctrination adds an additional strain to marriages. It is less prominent among those who practice Islam & more traditional spiritual systems.
Excuse me but where are the men's answers to this question? What do the women say when asked "when is it okay for a man to divorce a woman". This is what is called an Experimenter's Bias; where you ask a question or an audience expecting a certain answer and because of this expectation you skew the results.
Economics always wins when it comes to marriages and relationships in Nigeria......
Next video coming soon..." When can an African man divorce his wife"..We want her to go the streets and ask them too. SHOCKING ANSWERS"
Lol when the interviewer was like 'seriously?!'
It's amazing to me to hear people say that they would stay if someone is abusing them or committing adultery, what world do we live in? Yes people cheat, but if it's before marriage, that is a different story. There is nothing in the Bible that says that a woman should stay if she is being abused or a man is committing adultery, NOTHING!!
hey +kertia ... abi o... but what can we do about it??

The president is Ibo and if he speaks in his own language, more than half of Nigeria won't understand what he's saying bcos there are so many different languages. If the governors of all the 36 states come together, how are they going to communicate? the easiest and most effective way to be able to understand each other is to learn a single language-English. Also, their English won't be perfect bcos of their own language and accent mixed with it. Even the English can't speak English perfectly.

I actually think divorce should only be an option in extreme cases of domestic violence or in issues of repeated abuse. It is not right for a man to beat his wife, but I believe some people loose it sometimes, but there are other better solutions, even women sometimes get violent sometimes. Divorce should only be considered in extreme cases. Don't forget, for better or worse.
