Fresh Squeeze | Why are more and more women initiating divorces in their marraige?

Jones & Mpho on Capricorn Breakfast dive into a noticeable shift in modern relationships. Fewer people are getting married, divorce rates remain significant, and increasingly, women are the ones choosing to walk away. But what’s really behind this trend? Mike Maiwashe, an attorney of M & M Maiwashe Attorneys, join the team to unpack the deeper social and legal dynamics driving these changes. From evolving gender roles and financial independence to changing expectations around marriage, the discussion explores why more women are initiating divorce and what this signals about society today. The conversation also looks at the legal implications of these decisions — what the law says, how processes unfold, and what individuals need to consider when navigating separation.
