CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Family
is the oldest human institution in many ways, it is the most basic
unit. It is society’s most basic unit. The entire civilization have
survived or disappeared depending on whether family life was strong or
weak. Before the institution is established, there must be a union of a
man and woman, this union is call marriage.
Mba (1980)
stated that marriage is the state in which man and woman give themselves
to each other in their life together and in procreation and training of
offspring’s. The clear and certain knowledge of this institution is
obtained only from the ideal of creation as revealed to the people of
God in the Old Testament.
Thus, most of us grew up in a
firm belief that marriage would it did for our parents, friends and
parent tomorrow. Certainly, the moves on the television programmes, the
books and magazines we read all had a way of convincing us that marriage
would not only solve our problems but would last a life time. Thus, in
our society, adult is counted as an active member of the society if
he/she is married. In view of this, it is a drama in that everyone
becomes an actor or actress and not just a spectator.
This
day, things are changing because of rising tide of the powerful new
interest in human, generated by the liberation movement, the life of
woman alone, wisdom, divorce and separated are beginning to come in for a
lot more attention and recognition today. Today, there are lots of
books, articles, drama on the legal and emotional aspect of separation,
on the changing status of the working couples, on the financial
complexities of widowhood on the challenge of single parenthood and of
the single woman’ s level of life. The basic separation of homes is like
being faced with the pieces of a complicated jig saw puzzle, and asked
to fit then together in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Before now, marriage in African context was being dominated by men folk.
The duty of the woman was to cook, keep home and farm, movement for her
was restricted. Men who travel to pass does that in groups or in
company of leaders. While the man is away, another elder is in the
family takes care and control of all the members of the family till the
man returns from the journey. That is to say that woman then lives under
the care, control and protection of men hence they live behind their
husband’s huts.
