Divorce or
dissolution of marriage
is the ending of a marriage before the death of
either spouse. It can be contrasted with an annulment, which is a
declaration that a marriage is void, though the effects of
marriage may be recognized in such unions, such as spousal support
or alimony, child custody, child support, and distribution of
property.
In many developed countries, divorce rates may have increased
markedly during the twentieth century. Among the states in which
divorce has become commonplace are the United States, South Korea,
and members of the European Union, with the exception of Malta
(where all civil marriages are for life, because civil divorce is
banned).

In the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, and some other developed
Commonwealth countries, this divorce boom developed in the last half
of the twentieth century. In addition, acceptance of the single-parent
family has resulted in many women deciding to have children outside
marriage, as there is little remaining social stigma attached to unwed
mothers in some societies. |
