What The Divorce Ratio Measures

This game uses the divorce-to-marriage ratio listed in Wikipedia's country table of marriage and divorce rates.

  • Higher percentages mean more divorces were recorded relative to marriages in the same year.
  • The ratio compares annual totals, not the fate of the marriages formed that year.
  • Pick the place with the higher ratio, or SAME when the listed percentages match.

A clean percentage can still hide different legal systems, reporting practices, and age structures underneath.
