He admonished the participants to always seek for moral guidance before engaging into marriage contract.

Shehu who decried the rate of divorce, said the only way to address the problem was for the intending couples to always seek for God’s guidance before marriage.

“Impatience and ignorance of religious obligations is one of the reasons militating against the success of many marriages in our society.

“Today, divorce has caused many social problems to our children, especially children of broken homes are expose to drug abuse, child labour and trafficking,’’ he said.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of the occasion, Prof. Shehu Galadanchi, said the best way to address marital problems was for the couples to always tolerate one another.
