Abstract
The fundamental social unit is the family. This is the society's most significant institution. In addition to being the place where a family lives, a "home" also refers to the intangible elements that unite the family. The mother, father, and children are kept together by the unfathomable love. A person's whole existence depends on their family; everything about them, including their upbringing, disposition, accomplishments, honor, and dignity, is centered around their family structure. The institution of the family includes sex, marriage, parenthood, and kinship, all of which are fundamental to society since they bring in new members, without whom it would cease to exist. Marriage, which is generally seen as a union between a man and a woman, is how the institution of the family came to be (Olayiwola 2005, pp. 67). The family's social role is to bear children and provide for them, which includes educating its members. It is therefore a way to supply the "social capital" that society requires. Nonetheless, it has been seen throughout time that the reasons behind fractured homes continue to exist in our society as a result of the family institution's inability to fulfill its duties. "Broken Home" and marital instability are the results of ineffectively carrying out marital tasks and responsibilities.
