dc.description.abstractAbstract Extra-marital affairs have become common in modern society. Extra-marital affair connotes an immoral act that has brought most families into sudden or prolong distrust, partial separation, and even divorce. With growing economic hardship manifesting in hunger, most married couples tend to justify extra-marital affair as a means of survival. Using the rational choice theory, this paper examines extra-marital affairs among young female couples in Ilorin, Nigeria. Data for the paper emerged through in-depth interviews (IDIs) with eighteen participants. Findings revealed that extra-marital affairs have become pronounced among married young female couples in Ilorin, Nigeria due to hunger and economic hardship in the country. The paper concludes that key determinants of extra-marital affairs among young female couples in Ilorin reside in hunger and economic hardship. The paper recommends that religious clerics, government agencies and policy makers should play critical roles in remodeling the family institution while government at all levels should create enabling environment to improve standards of living for citizens.
