Only two decades earlier, women and men were 25.9 and 28.5 years old, respectively, when they got married. Why?

  8. Canada and Marriage • Statistics Canada attributes the change to greater economic opportunities for women and the growing popularity of common-law unions.

  9. Divorce • With the passing of the Divorce Act in 1968, grounds for divorce were extended to include "no-fault" divorce based on separation for at least three years; in 1986, the separation period was revised to one year. Within a decade of the introduction of the Divorce Act, the total divorce rate (the percentage of marriages that dissolved in the previous 30-year period) rose from 14 per cent of all marriages in 1969 to 30 per cent in 1975. The total crude divorce rate peaked at 362 divorces per 100,000 inhabitants in 1987. The divorce rate in 2000 was 231 per 100,000 inhabitants.
