| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the factors affecting extramarital affairs among married individuals, addressing a significant concern for marital stability and societal well-being. Utilizing secondary data from the National Institute of Health (NIH) 2020 dataset, which includes 601 individuals, the research employs univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses to determine the relationship between socio-demographic and socio-economic variables and extramarital affairs. Key findings indicate that gender, age, years married, occupation, education, and religion significantly influence the likelihood of engaging in extramarital affairs, with men being more prone to such behavior. The study concludes that a complex interplay of these factors drives extramarital affairs, highlighting the need for targeted interventions such as developing marital counseling services and implementing educational programs to strengthen marital bonds. | en_US |
