Preferred term

culture of divorce  

Definition

  • In contemporary societies, divorce has increased (albeit at different speeds) not only in frequency but also in acceptance. The culture of “marriage is forever” is transforming into a culture of “marriage is contingent.” Some form of formal marital dissolution has always been part of human experience.
