Spain and Russia have some of the highest divorce rates in the world — while in Pakistan families almost never break apart:
“Ukraine ranks third with 71%, followed by Italy at 69%. Experts note that in Southern European countries, where family values have traditionally been strong, divorce rates are rising especially fast. Europe dominates the top of the rankings: France — 55%, Finland — 56%, Sweden — 50%, the Netherlands — 49%.
Sociologists link this to high economic independence, later marriages, and the fact that divorce is no longer seen as shameful or socially condemned.
At the opposite end are states where divorces are extremely rare. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India show 1%, Nigeria — 3%, Vietnam — 7%. Here, traditions, family pressure, religious norms, and economic factors play a major role — divorce may simply be an unaffordable option.”
