Recorded Divorces Most in Middle Age
Oman experienced a modest rise in divorce cases during 2025, according to the official statistical authority, which recorded 4,208 divorce certificates—an increase of 2% from 2024, which reported 4,122 certificates. Although the increase is slight, it reflects relative stability after a significant 8% rise in 2024 compared to 2023, and a 10% rise over the two-year period. Muscat Governorate had the highest number of divorces, followed by Dhofar and North Batinah, while South Batinah and the Interior Governorate saw declines. The age groups between 35 and 44 years old had the highest number of divorces, with a noticeable impact of educational attainment levels, as divorce rates among diploma holders were higher than in other categories. The statistics aim to promote family stability and provide insights into demographic indicators to assist relevant authorities in policy-making and awareness efforts.
