To identify interpersonal and socio-demographic factors associated with divorce among reproductive-age women in Tanzania.
Analyzed data from 9,443 women aged 15-49 years from the 2015-16 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey.
Evaluated associations between various factors and divorce rates using adjusted odds ratios (AOR).
Studied demographic variables such as employment, urban residence, and partner alcohol use.
Divorce rates were 13.3%; early sexual debut significantly increased divorce odds (AOR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.20-1.91, p<0.001).
Employment across all categories raised divorce likelihood compared to domestic work.
Urban residents (AOR 1.32, 95% CI: 1.06-1.63) and women with alcoholic partners (AOR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.24-1.71) showed higher divorce rates.
