• In Spain, 44.7% of marriages ended in 2023, with 82,991 divorces recorded in 2024, driven by a liberal society and financial independence.
• Reasons for high divorce rates in Spain include progressive views on relationships, cohabitation before marriage, and late marriages.
• Other countries with high divorce rates include Russia (74%), Ukraine (71%), Italy (69%), and France (55%), while the US has 41%.
