Single mothers are the end product of what? The factors that give rise to single mothers are many. Among the them is the death of a spouse, which is one which is not within the control of anyone. Other grounds which give rise to single mothers are the dissolution of a marriage, where the marriage is broken down and ended up in divorce. This is the most common ground which gives rise to women assuming the role of single mothers. With the high rate of divorce and also disillusion among young women in the institution of marriage, marriage is no more viewed as a safe haven ,they are prepared to dissolve the marriage whenever the circumstances force them to do so .
