Marriage, Divorce and Cohabitation in Britain

The number of people getting mar­ried in Britain has been falling over the past 20 years or so. In 1970 about 400,000 couples were married for the first time. This was down just to over 200,000 first marriages in 1994. In 1995, the last year for which statistics are currently avail­able, there were 322,200 marriages of which over a third were second marriages, most of which followed a divorce.

Britain, where there were 170,000 divorces in 1995, has the highest divorce rate in the European Union. Nearly three quarters of divorces are granted to wives. Men are more like­ly to remarry than women.

The divorce rates in Scotland and Northern Ireland are lower than in England and Wales, where there were over 13 divorces per 1,000 mar­ried couples in 1995.

Cohabitation - an unmarried couple living together - is on the increase. About a quarter of all couples living together are not married. Many cou­ples do get married after living together for a while. About 65 % of all couples married in 1993 had cohabited before marriage compared with only 4% of couples first mar­ried in 1966.
