p20-223

Introduction

Persons who marry when they are relatively young are about twice as likely to obtain a divorce as persons who marry when they are older. Among men who had entered marriage at least 20 years before a survey conducted in 1967, 28 percent of those who married before the age of 22 years were known to have been divorced.
