While state-controlled divorce forms in the US do not ask religious affiliation, private studies can pole a sampling of divorced people and claim to have yielded the following in a report by the Barma Group in 2009:
Population Segment Have been divorced #of interviews
All adults 33% 3792
Evangelical Christians 26% 339Liberal 37% 474

About the same as other marriages.
Between 43% and 50% of marriages end in divorce.
In the early 21st century, the divorce rate for most Catholic marriages is about the same as non-Catholic marriages - 50% or so, UNLESS they are practicing natural family planning (in other words, living as God intended them to) in which case the divorce rate is between 0.2% and 3%.
The divorce rate for same-sex marriages is generally lower than that of opposite-sex marriages. Research suggests that factors such as societal acceptance, legal barriers, and relationship dynamics contribute to this difference. However, divorce rates can vary depending on factors such as location, age, and length of marriage.
The divorce rate for fourth marriages is difficult to pinpoint accurately as it varies depending on the source and methodology used. However, generally the divorce rate for subsequent marriages tends to be higher than for first marriages. Marriage success is influenced by multiple factors including personal circumstances, communication, and commitment.
As of 2011 CE, the divorce rate in the Republic of India is 1.01 for every thousand marriages annually.
it is higher than the national average.
Figures vary. it is difficult to find figures which come from unbiased spurces. 50% of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce, according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.
in the world or the united states???Number of marriages: 2,162,000Marriage rate: 7.1 per 1,000 total populationDivorce rate: 3.5 per 1,000 population (44 reporting States and D.C.)
Because gays and lesbians have had to fight for their right to marry, the divorce rate is significantly lower than that of straight marriages. However, relationships are relationships and unfortunately sometimes they end.
38% according to a recent news article: "The divorce rate in Canada has been holding steady in recent years at around 38 per cent -- meaning about 380 out of every 1,000 marriages will dissolve within 30 years. But the divorce rate worsens for second and third marriages, providing additional risk for children" http://www.theprovince.com/life/parenting/High+school+dropout+rate+rises+children+whose+parents+divorce+study+finds/1473172/story.html#
As of 2010 there were 33,739,900 people and in 2010 - 2011, 2.46 per 1,000 divorces. The statistics prove that divorce is lowering.
