The divorce rate in England and Wales increased nearly four-fold
between 1950 and 1976; in the five years following the
implementation of the 1969 Divorce Reform Act in January 1971, it
more than doubled. Despite the plethora of public comment about the
rising divorce rates, there was at the time very little objective
data in our society about either those who chose to resolve their
marital unhappiness by divorce, or the possible causes and
consequences of such divorce. Originally published in 1979, this
book, the first published study from the Marriage Research Centre,
represented an important landmark in a relatively unexplored field.
Who Divorces? Presents the findings of a large-scale study into the
characteristics of those who divorce. Certain childhood,
adolescent, pre-marital and marital characteristics and experiences
of a random sample of men and women who divorced are considered and
compared with the characteristics and experiences of a random
sample of men and women whose marriages were still intact.
Additionally, research findings relating to the causes and
consequences of divorce, both for the individual and for society,
are discussed with particular reference to the wide range of
prevailing opinion on these matters.
