Abstract

From the time immemorial, marital infidelity has seriously impacted on the sustainability of family structure and peaceful co-existence among families in Yoruba land in particular and Nigeria in general. Since family is considered as the basic unit of the society and whatever happens at the family level has a favourable or an adverse effect on the society. Therefore, a morally strong family setting is a morally strong society. Existing studies on marital infidelity, its attendant consequences and control have to a large extent been restricted to legal, dramatic, literary and modern conflict resolution methods with little reference to the use of Edì festival song as an important method of controlling this deviant behaviour in traditional marriage institution in the entire discourse. Some of the methods of controlling deviant behaviour mentioned above are geared towards using various contemporary approaches to address issue of marital infidelity associated with traditional marriage institution in the society. The methods employed in carrying out this research are the interview and the Focus Group Discussion.
