Chinanews, Aug. 25 - According to reports of Shanghai's media, a survey
of the city's 19 district marriage registration bureaus revealed that
last year, 27,374 couples registered for divorces, averaging 75 couples
per day, up 38.9% over the previous year. What concerns people most is
that amongst the divorcing couples, 7.2% are married for less than one
year.
Many factors caused the rise in divorce rates. But, in the eyes of many
couples, divorce seems to be not a tragedy but the path to seek the next
round of happiness. Marriage experts generally feel that in treating the
problem of divorce, young couples are not that bound by traditional
concepts. They rarely treat divorce as a sad or embarrassing matter.
Instead, they view it as the beginning of a new life.
Divorce statistics reveal that amongst the divorced couples last year,
56.1% attribute the main reason of their separation to personality
incompatibility, meaning that 15,365 couples parted ways because they had
personality conflict. Another 9,234 couples put the reasons of splitting
up as breakdown of mutual feelings.
More and more new reasons now surface as causes for marital breakups. It
was learned that beside personality incompatibility and breakdown of
mutual feelings, 567 couples cited economic reasons, 82 couples mentioned
inability to tolerate bad habits. What is most striking is that more and
more couples are willing to face the problem of extra-marital affairs,
with 1,079 couples frankly admitting to infidelity as the cause for
breaking up.
