ABSTRACT
In this research work, it was set out to study genetic incompatibility and divorce using Ebonyi State University teaching hospital as a case study. The investigation was carried out by designing questionnaires that were given out to 150 respondents comprising of married men and women in the teaching hospital only. These data were analyzed using cu -square test to test whether divorce rate is indepciicicnt of genetic incompatibility and hardy- Weinberg formula to determine the genotype frequency is the teaching hospital. After the analysis the following results were obtained. From the chi-squaie tests, it was found that genetic incompatibility could lead to the divorce of married couple. And from hardy-Weinberg formula we have that the cnotype frequency in this teaching hospital is thus: 67% of married couples are Hormal (AA), 33% of married coupes are carrier (AS) and no married couple is sicklier (SS). Thisis also in line with the result of the questionnaires.
