These are distorted figures for which there were specific reasons. These high values were caused by the low number of marriages, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as fewer weddings increase the relative divorce rate. After that, it leveled off again at around 60%.I gave statistics in which Portugal is in first place in divorces in Europe - something like over 93%
Nevertheless, the rate is high. What is more interesting, however, is what the main factors are in Western liberal countries. The high rate is mainly due to liberal divorce laws, economic independence (especially for women) and an increasingly secular society. In Portugal, amicable divorces are possible without long waiting periods, which facilitates the process. Hire-and-fire mentality. Since 2008, amicable divorce is possible without giving reasons if both parties agree.
