Rise in Divorce Rates and Gray Divorce
Lebanon is experiencing a noticeable increase in divorce rates, with official figures showing a rise of 7.9% between 2015 and 2025, alongside a 14.2% decline in marriages. More than half of divorce cases occur after less than three years of marriage, and this phenomenon is now known as "gray divorce," referring to couples separating after the age of fifty and after decades of marriage. It is a growing trend in Arab societies, with rates ranging from 10 to 23% in Egypt and 11 to 15% in Jordan, significantly impacting women. The data highlight social changes and the decline of family stability, with Beirut and some predominantly Christian districts leading in divorce rates.
