State
The claim that half of all marriages end in divorce comes from dividing one year's divorce count by that year's marriage count — two unrelated statistics.
Show
Tracking actual marriages to their outcome, rather than comparing two separate yearly counts, yields a lower rate by Soc 1309's method.
Watch for
This is a standing statistical misreading, not a settled finding about half of all marriages.
