Repeat Divorces on the rise, trend expected to continue


25.03.2012
A small but rising number of Singapore couples are seeing their marriages crumble repeatedly.
The number of men and women who have been divorced at least twice has quadrupled over a 20-year period, and experts expect this rising trend to continue.
In 2010, 213 men in civil divorces had been divorced before - almost four times more than the 59 such men in 1990. These men made up 3.9 per cent of all men in civil divorces in 2010, up from 2.7 per cent in 1990.
The number of women divorced at least twice is not far behind, going by Department of Statistics data.
