In Georgia, in the recent years, the divorce rate has reached its record and for the last 10 years, it has been 11,205, but the above mentioned data isn’t a complete and accurate information and only affects registered cases. There are a lot of examples, when the spouses don’t live together anymore, but they haven’t registered for divorce yet. About that the barrister of “Young Barristers”, Ana Putkaradze states.

According to Ana Putkaradze, based on the material studied by the organization, including the information received by the court, as of 2019, in Georgia 11,205 people have divorced. 3,918 divorcement happened in Tbilisi. The rate of divorce in the regions of Georgia, is following: Adjara – 309, Guria – 86, Imereti – 580, Kakheti – 300, Mtskheta-Mtianeti – 109, Racha-Lechkhumi and lower Svaneti – 324, Samtskhe-Javakheti – 110, Lower Qartli – 394 and Upper Qartli – 254. Frosm 11,205 divorces, 10,039 were in their first marriage and 972 in their second marriage. Based on the statistics, there is nothing indicated for 194 person, and about the duration of their marriage. The most age of divorcement is between 30-35 years.

The organization notes out, that as a result of studying previous materials, from 2018-2019, the statistics of divorcement was 37,892, however these statistics was also characterized by growing rate.

The organization “Young Barristers”, based on the analysis of their own presented cases, states out, that the statistics of divorce, probably, can be much higher, as we have 2 circumstances for that: the parties do not address the court and the registration body and the rate of family disputes arising from unregistered marriages can be also seen.

The above mentioned rate is a result of a number of social factors, but, what is most notably is, that the divorce rate is also high among the younger generation. The reasons can be formulated in that way: early marriage and the lack of responsibility during managing the family processes, third party’s interference during living together, domestic violence, facts of jealousy and betrayal, personal incompatibility. According to the cases in charge, the initiator of divorcement, mostly, is woman.
