Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Divorce is the legal process of dissolving a marriage that allows former spouses to remarry if they so choose. Most divorces today are granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, meaning that there has been a breakdown of the marital relationship for which neither partner is specifically blamed.

At the macrolevel, societal factors contributing to higher rates of divorce include changes in social institutions, such as religion and family. At the microlevel, a number of factors contribute to a couple's statistical likelihood of divorcing. (1) marriage at an early age (2) a short acquaintanceship before marriage (3) disapproval of the marriage by relatives and friends (4) limited economic resources and low wages (5) a high school education or less (6) parents who are divorced or have unhappy marriages
(7) the presence of children at the beginning of the marriage.
