Growing divorce rates in Ukraine

The number of divorced couples in Ukraine increases every year. The usual sequence of events includes a very noisy, splendid wedding with too many guests, expensive restaurants and a divorce paper filed in a couple of years later.

The recent statistics show that the major explanation for divorce are as following:

1. domestic abuse,
2. Alcohol consumption and drugs.
3. Cheating.

Unexpectedly, lack of financial stability is not among the above mentioned factors that add to the growing divorce rates in Ukraine.

The divorce situation can be explained by several aspects. There is a general need for family education in Ukraine, where most teenagers learn about relationship between sexes in alleys having a smoke rather than from books and in classrooms. Such a thing as therapy for couples, who experience troubles and problems in their marriage, is a very new fact which is available only to some of the richest representatives of Ukrainian society due to its high price.

Another cause for divorce in Ukraine is the fact that Ukrainian women are becoming more and more independent. In the past it was a usual practice to get married and have kids within the first 1-3 years of marriage. After that the Ukrainian woman would already be settled and make her peace with the drinking habits or offensive and abusive nature of her husband. Now that a usual Ukrainian woman is more independent at a work place and does not plan to have kids until after she is 28, she has a better thought of who she wants to be and can make better choices.

Growing divorce rates in Ukraine are another reason for why so many single young women with and without children looking for foreign husbands on the Internet.
