A lack of understanding between married couples was the primary cause of family conflict in the Sultanate, chalking up a 42 percentage point, according to statistics from the Family Counselling Service Division at the Syariah Affairs Department, Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA).
The same study, conducted over the last three years, also suggested that 27 per cent of household complaints could be attributed to failure to provide for the family, followed by extra-marital affairs at 12 per cent.
Acting Director of Syariah Affairs Haji Suhaimi bin Haji Gemok highlighted this during a certificate presentation ceremony for 18 couples who completed a three-day post-marriage course at the Court Building and Syariah Courts.
