Divorce in some jurisdictions is a relatively recent phenomenon. In Canada for instance, there was no divorce until 1960s.
In developed countries, the divorce rate has increased significantly during the twentieth century. Among Countries in which divorce has become commonplace are the United States, Japan, Korea and Members of the European Union. According to one recent report, Germany's divorce rate has risen beyond the 200,000 a year mark, thus affecting 400,000 spouses and 120,000 school children.
And according to USA statistics, about 50% of first marriages for men under age 45 may end in divorce, and between 44 and 52% of women's first marriages may end in the same way for these age groups. The likelihood of a divorce is lowest for men and women aged 60 and above, for whom 36% of men and 32% of women may divorce from their first marriage by the end of their lives.
Causes of Divorce:
UK management consultants Grant Thornton, shows the main causes of divorce based on surveys of matrimonial lawyers, The first column is for 2004 and, in brackets, 2003
1. Extra marital affairs 27% (29%)
2. Family-Strains 18% (11%)
3. Emotional / Family abuse 17% (10%)
4.Mid life crisis 13% ( Not in 2003 survey )
5.Addiction e.g. alcoholism and gambling 6% (5%)
6.Workoholism 6% (5%)
Other than the above statistics there are few more common cases of Divorces are as follows:
Sexually mismatched:
While it is may be true that sex alone probably is not the main basis for a successful marriage, the best marriages may suffer if the sex drives of the partner are unevenly matched.
Sexless Marriage:
People gets married and enjoy a good portion of their lives happily and suddenly, one of them is no more interested in sex which creates an unhealthy or uneven relationship which may end up in divorce.
After Effects of Divorce:
One must not forget that a divorce will eventually bring extra pain not only for the couple's children but for their friends as well.
Divorce can break more then hearts, Friends are often forced to choose between partners.
Before concluding my article I do not want to miss this opportunity to say that in many cases, divorce is not only painful but an expensive lesson as well. The average cost of a divorce is $20,000 in the USA and this only accounts for the legal costs and consequences. It does not include the emotional and familial costs and that cost is much, much higher.
