dc.description.abstract Divorce and marriage are both personal and social issues. For the people concerned, divorce is a significant source of stress in life with potentially dire outcomes. Divorce is a social phenomenon influenced by a variety of overt and covert circumstances has an impact on one's physical, mental, or social wellbeing. This study pinpoints the underlying causes of Tanzania's divorce demand. The study used a descriptive research approach and included married couples in its statistical sample, along with people who had divorced. A total of 203 respondents who were selected by snowball and purposeful sampling were given a questionnaire. descriptive and inferential analytical methods, such as descriotive statistics and then statistical test was done by bivariate and binary regression model were employed to analyze the data. The results show that there is a positive link (p-value = 0.17) between economic issues related to bad finances and lack of income and divorces. Social variables, including the usage of the internet, smartphones, and video, have been linked to divorces at a p value of 0.98. Furthermore, it was shown that adultery, abuse, and intervention from family members were also linked to divorce at (p value =0.42): (p value =0.25). Nonetheless, it was discovered that adultery and divorce had a positive relationship at (p value = 0.01). Research on factors associated to health, such as alcoholism, indicates that alcohol ruins families. An alcoholic's psychological affects and mental discomfort prevent them from taking on household responsibilities. A positive correlation between divorce and poor health has been demonstrated, however it is negligible at p value = 0.5. The study comes to the conclusion that social, cultural, religious, and economic hardships are the main causes of divorces. According to this study's comparable similar wife theory and networking theory, relationships are networked in marriage. Improved communication and relationships are essential for a long-lasting marriage; otherwise, divorce may occur. According to the report, it is essential to give families and couples free counseling and life skills training. In addition, the media needs to spread knowledge, increase public awareness, and encourage sensible, spiritual, and simple marriages en_US
