Divorce rate in South Africa

In South Africa, divorces rarely happen within a few months of marriage. According to Statistics South Africa, while the divorce rate is on the rise, most couples who divorce do so after several years together. Around 42% of divorces happen after less than ten years of marriage. The average age for divorce is 46 for men and 42 for women, showing that most divorces occur later in life. While early divorces do happen, they’re a smaller part of the overall divorce trend in the country.

Dealing with divorce can be tough. Experts at Talkspace say it’s important to give yourself time to grieve and process your emotions. Find support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you handle the emotional challenges. Focus on self-care by eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. Avoid making major decisions right away and give yourself time to adjust.
