dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the causes of violence in marriage and the effects it has on the family. The major data collection method was case material supplemented by interview. A sample of 21 case files were drawn randomly, while10 households and 4 Social Welfare Officers were interviewed. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed in data analysis. The data presented in tables, percentages and histograms. The findings showed that physical and verbal abuses are common types of marital violence within the area of study. The study also revealed that drunkenness, financial support, infidelity and polygamous, general misunderstandings and misuse of family properties were the agreed major causes of marital violence. The results showed that effects of marital violence mostly strain wives than husbands in the family due to husbands’ power and superiority resulting from outdated traditions and customs. The effects, however, go further to children.
