    I believe the only reason it is so high is due to more exposure and more and more de-stigmatisation of divorce in Africa.
    The more people get exposed to the western culture the more divorces will rise.
    People rush getting married due to one reason or another and realize that they are not happy.

    The media is giving us too much pressure. Look at the number of wedding shows that are there today. When you add on pressure from relatives and churches you are indirectly forced into a relationship you are not ready for.

    Rash to get married for the wrong reasons. Also the expectations are sometimes too high that when you get disappointed by something you don’t expect it puts you in a low place in your life.

    Social pressure to get married for the wrong reasons and stigma towards people who willingly end marriage that is not working. People fear judgement by society so they stay in abusive or unhappy marriages but keep cheating.
