Electronic games have contributed in recent years to raising the rates of separation and divorce in Egypt and Arab countries as family members are preoccupied with them instead of giving time to family.

According to the 2018 report of the Cabinet's Information Center, Egypt recorded the highest divorce rate in the world, which rose from 7 to 40 percent in the last 50 years.The number of divorced women reached 3 million, according to the latest statistics.

Unfortunately, the 2018 report revealed that Playstation and Candy Crush are the main reason behind divorce,with around 17,000 cases attributed to Candy Crush and 250,000 divorce cases to Playstation.

Legal expert Mohamed Miraz told Egypt Today that electronic games are addictive and help widen the gap between spouses.

Also, legal expert Yara Ahmed Saad said that social media shook family relations,where spouses share their problems on Facebook andTwitter, which does not help and almost always leads to divorce.

Abdel-Hamid Zaid, a professor at Cairo University, said earlier that there are electronic games that contribute to the escalation of violence and crime, and therefore the government should be censored because of negative social phenomena.
