In 2024, the divorce rate in South Korea was *** divorces per 1,000 inhabitants, similar to the previous year. The divorce rate peaked in 2003 at about *** divorces per 1,000 people and has declined since then. Cultural perception of divorce Traditionally, divorce was viewed negatively in South Korea due to the influence of a patriarchal society that valued traditional family structures and roles. However, as more women enter the workforce and women's rights progress, Korean society has seen a greater acceptance of divorce in recent years. Many people now view it as a viable option for those seeking personal happiness. Decline in marriages During the same period, the number of marriages across the nation has decreased. This is especially noticeable due to the changing perception of marriage among South Korean women, who place less importance on marriage than previous generations. A survey identified financial constraints and a decreased desire for marriage as the most important reasons for avoiding marriage.

The University of Arizona Divorce, Sleep, and Social Environment (DSE) Study was supported by a R01 grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R01HD069498) and was designed to examine the associations between adults' psychological responses to marital separation, objectively-assessed sleep quality (via actigraphy) and daily social behaviors (assessed via the Electronically Activated Recorder, EAR), all of which were assessed at multiple occasions over 5 months. The base sample includes 140 participants in midlife (average age, 43 years) who were married for an average of 13 years and separated, on average, within the last 4 months. For various measures and timepoints, data is missing on about 13% of the sample. This is a study of individuals over time as they adapt to their marital separation and divorce. We collected self-reported data on five monthly assessments, and participants wore the EAR and sleep actigraphs on months 1,3, and 5. The EAR data is fully coded and includes the objective assessment of many daily social behaviors, including time spent alone, with others and/or socializing, time receiving social support, and time with an ex-partner. A detailed procedure manual for this study can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4ub012rod96wjo/DSE%20Procedure%20Manual%206.19.15.pdf?dl=0 The complete Time 1 self-report measure set can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccisc64skbbgksr/DSE%20Questionnaire%20Set%20Final.pdf?dl=0 An illustrative paper using this data can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnwwbug4pk7dd8m/CPS%20Final%20Accepted%20Version.pdf?dl=0 All aspects of this study were approved by the University of Arizona IRB: #1100000370: Sleep and Divorce: Identifying Bidirectional Vulnerability and Resilience

This table contains data on population development in the Netherlands, per day. In this table, the data can be broken down into the following characteristics: - Live births; - Deceased; - Marriages (excluding closed partnership registrations); - Partnership registrations - (Divorce) divorces (from 2010 including dissolved partnership registrations); - People who have moved within the Netherlands; - Foreign migration; - Nationality changes. Data available from: 1995 Status of the figures: All figures included in the table are final. The way in which the figures on population development are produced changed in 2014. As a result, the population development figures for 2013 in different tables sometimes do not match. The differences are minimal and only occur in 2013. The figures of the monthly totals may differ from the figures per month in other tables. The difference is explained by messages from the previous year that Statistics Netherlands received in the observation year, the so-called late messages. Because the table shows the exact event date of a birth, a death, etc. in a certain observation year, subsequent messages cannot simply be included here. This has been resolved in the table by including an 'Other' category per year. This category contains the late messages. For a detailed explanation of 'subsequent messages', please refer to the short research description 'Population Statistics', see section 4. Changes as of 16 August 2022: Figures for 2020 and 2021 have been added. When will new figures come out? Figures for 2022 and 2023 will be included in this table in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Until 1861 in Victoria, divorce was a matter for the ecclesiastical courts as it was in England until 1857 -1858. The Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act 1861 conferred upon the Supreme Court of Victoria the jurisdiction in matters matrimonial and authority in certain cases to decree the dissolution of the marriage. This continued to be the case until the passing of the Commonwealth Family Law Act 1975.

How many married couples are in the U.S.? In 2023, there were 62.18 million married couples in the United States. This is an increase from 40.2 million married couples in 1960. Marriage in the U.S. While the number of married couples in the U.S. has increased in the past few decades, this could very well just be due to population change, since while the U.S. population has been increasing, the marriage rate has decreased significantly since 1990. In addition, the divorce rate has almost halved since 1990 despite concerns that more people are getting divorced than in years past. Same-sex marriage in the U.S. After years of advocacy, same-sex marriage became legal in the United States in June 2015. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in a landmark ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. In 2015, a clear majority of Americans were in favor of the legalization of same-sex marriage, and approval has only been increasing in the years since.
