“The researchers looked at different variables to understand why divorces tend to be filed by women. They suggest three main explanations:
- Over-exploited wives who do the majority of housework and parenting may feel that they have nothing to lose by leaving.
- Wives may have already benefited from financial investments made by a husband (for example, paying for education) and no longer require his support.
- Wives expect to get, and subsequently keep, custody of their children — if they didn’t, they probably wouldn’t file for divorce. (This is by far the most statistically significant explanation.)”
