Abstract

The author investigates differences in divorce rates in Western countries and in Southeast Asia. First the general divorce rate trends...are elucidated using more-refined measures. Then the likely causes of the separate trends in Western countries and in Islamic Southeast Asia are examined to determine whether there is a unified explanation for the trends that is consistent with broader theories about divorce or whether the idiosyncratic features of the Malay-Muslim and Western settings restrict us to ad hoc interpretations of the trends.
