Marriage partnerships are turning violent for a growing number of couples. Incidents of domestic abuse are on the rise, with cases involving male victims being reported. Approximately 700 such cases were handled over the past year. A total of 33,009 cases were recorded between late 2021 and mid-2026, possibly indicating a stronger legal response despite a heavy workload.

Economic pressure and mental health strain are cited as contributing factors to the rise in domestic abuse cases. The Executive Secretary of the DSVA, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, shared these details during a visit to a media office.
