This line can jump in 2020 and 2021, when many weddings were postponed and the number of marriages fell sharply, even if divorces did not change much. It is a comparison of two yearly totals, not a forecast for any couple.

Reading the numbers. Divorce statistics depend on each country’s law and on how it counts: whether annulments and legal separations are included, whether religious or out-of-court divorces are recorded, and how much of the population is married at all. Compare countries with care.
