Abstract

Intersexual marriage is seen as a sacred institution among Christians and people of Nigeria. It is therefore alarming to note that cross-gender cohabitation which was a foreign phenomenon is gaining ground in Nigeria. This research was carried out to examine the perception of premarital cohabitation in Nigeria, causes and possible solution. The study used secoInternetndary data while it is hinged on Inertia Theory. The study however observed that premarital cohabitation with sex is adopted by a lot of people due to many factors which include peer pressure, exposure to explicit contents on the internet and television, poor economy and use of drugs. The study recommends among others that parents should guide their children on the danger of over-exposure to television and internet. The youths should be controlled by their parents as to what they watch on television and exposed to, on the internet.
