Divorce rates are declining while marriages are slowly increasing compared to the previous decade

Divorce rates are declining while marriages are slowly increasing, Statistics Denmark reported. Last year, Denmark saw 12,862 divorces among married couples, marking a stagnant trend over the past three years and a notable 17% decrease compared to the previous decade. Data revealed that nearly 50% of divorces occurred within the first decade of marriage, while 11% took place after 25 years of marriage. Despite a 4% dip in weddings from 2022 to 2023, the long-range shows a 5% marriage increase relative to the previous decade.
