Glad to know this is not the only country with divorce on the rise. Does this mean misery loves company? Interesting marriage.

World's Shortest Marriage?

Samantha Louis — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 15:00:00 -0500

When spanning the world for divorce sagas, you're bound to come across the very best and the worst in human judgment.

Take the case of an Israeli couple who, according to The Times of India, have set the record for the world's shortest marriage.

After a grand total of four days, the two landed in Rabbinical court with the husband complaining about the wife's refusal to live in his parents house, while the wife said she had been promised an apartment of their own. Also, not only was the wife upset about the share of wedding gifts she received, but with the husband's family's taste in gifts.

Still, it can be useful to see how goes the state of marriage in other cultures around the globe.

According to new data from the Rabbinical courts, 5 percent of the marriages last only a year in Israel. Last year, 10,000 couples filed for divorce there, which amounted to an rise of 4 percent over 2005 statistics. Even more striking, Jerusalem, which boasts a large religious population, witnessed a 10.4 percent increase in its divorce rate.

With our eyes wide open to the realities of marriage, we can safely say no culture has a monopoly on healthy relationships.
