Divorce Rate in India
Divorce rates in India are amongst the lowest in the world. 11 marriages out of 1,000 marriages (around 1 marriage out of 100 marriages) ends up to divorce in India. This figure was even low in 1990. In 1990, 7.40 marriages out of 1,000 marriages ended up in divorce in India.
The divorce rate in India is even quite lower in the villages in India and higher in urban parts of India. These days divorce rates in India’s urban sphere are shooting up.
Some facts from CIA World book for comparison with US
Infant mortality rate
India - 64.9 deaths/1,000 live births
USA -6.76 deaths/1,000 live births
Life expectancy at birth
India 62.5 years
USA 77.26 years
Birth rate
India - 24.79 births/1,000 population
USA - 14.2 births/1,000 population
Death rate
India -8.88 deaths/1,000 population
USA - 8.7 deaths/1,000 population
Divorce rates

But I really got shocked while reading this news. It should be less than 0.5 or may be even less. With the population and geography of India, 1.1% is really huge.
